Gyde's Trait Magazines

Thank you for 100k+!

Project crunch is over. This mod has been updated finally.

Find and learn traits through trait magazines! All with unique and vanilla-friendly name and designs.

This mod is very customizable with sandbox settings, start a game in "Custom Sandbox" or use Change Sandbox Options mod to change settings mid-game for a singleplayer game.

By default, if the player starts with a negative trait counterpart of a trait (like Disorganized vs Organized), reading the magazine will not give the positive trait but instead remove the negative trait. (*)
(*) This can be changed in sandbox settings to both remove and award the positive trait.

Other sandbox settings include the option to choose which magazines spawn, toggling of a trait by rereading a magazine (for those who want to toggle Speed Demon), and an option to change the spawn rate of all magazines.

- Nutritionist
- Outdoorsman
- Handy
- Axe Man
- Burglar
Traits with negatives (in brackets):
- Speed Demon (Sunday Driver)
- Organized (Disorganized)
- Fast Learner (Slow Learner)
- Fast Reader (Slow Reader)
- Inconspicuous (Conspicuous)
- Graceful (Clumsy)
- Dexterous (All Thumbs)
- Keen Hearing (Deaf / Hard of Hearing) (*)
(*) Reading the Keen Hearing magazine with deaf will not do anything.

All trait magazines can be found in common magazine locations like magazine racks and libraries. Some magazines have unique spawns where they have a higher spawn rate. For example, "Fast Learner" can be found more commonly in schools and "Burglar" more commonly in police/evidence lockers.

The spawn rates for magazines will differ in rarity depending on the value of the trait.

By default, the cheaper trait magazines are roughly as common as Skill Vol. 1 & 2 books. The more expensive trait magazines are roughly as rare as/rarer than "How to Use A Generator" magazines.

Changing the sandbox spawn settings will multiply spawn rates accordingly: Very Low (0.1x), Low (0.5x), Default (1x), High (2x), Very High (3x)

I mainly made this mod because I wanted a way to learn Nutritionist, figured why not design and add magazines for other traits as well.

Also, this is my first time delving into Zomboid mod making so I'd highly appreciate suggestions or bug reports in the comments, thanks!

Q: Does this work in multiplayer?
A: Yes!

Q: Can I add this mod mid-save / ongoing world?
A: Yes, but the magazines will only spawn in unexplored chunks. If you're adding this mod on a late save, I'd recommend resetting chunks outside of your base or in previously looted towns.

Q: Does reading magazines also give XP/level for skills? (E.g. Handy's +1 Carpentry & +1 Maintenance)
A: No, reading magazines will only give the associated trait.

Q: Can you add support for X mod's traits?
A: Unfortunately there are too many trait mods to create magazine designs for, so I'm sticking with vanilla traits only. Though if you would like to expand or create an add-on for the mod, you have my full permission to look through the code and attempt it yourself!

Q: Is this compatible with Evolving Traits World or mods that add or remove traits dynamically?
A: Functionally, this mod simply looks through the traits you have and if it matches the vanilla trait, it will add or remove it. If the mod changes the name for traits, this mod will not work. With dynamic trait mods, adding/removing traits may also be undone depending on how and when they check for conditions.

- Some languages are missing translation for consumable magazine option in sandbox. (WIP, waiting for translators)
