Book Sorter[edit | edit source]
This is a wanted script, I have not begun working on it yet.
The goal of the script is to automatically remove all books from the player's inventory and stack them on a bookshelf. I have heard of this being done in a couple of mods, and I have seen it done in Morrowind - in Morrowind, the modder hand-places copies of every book in the game onto a bookshelf, and has a script disable them. When a script removes the books from the player's inventory, it enables it's copy on the bookshelf.
One obvious caveat to this is that it does not stack any mod-added books - however, I suspect that stacking mod-added books would require OBSE anyway. A second, and more prominent and restrictive caveat, is that this requires a huge amount of work on the modder's behalf - not only do they have to create a copy of every book in the game, removing their scripts, training, and take-able status, but they also have to hand-place them on the bookshelf that they are to go on.
I'll take a look at the oblivion mods that add book-stacking functions. If you have any idea how this is done, please post that information here.
