Preface:
Well it aint over until the fat lady sings. I thought Id well and truely hung up my modders coat for the moment,
but one idea still bugged me, and has been bugging me since the days of oblivion. A bit of R&D and half a week later and
here we are.

Description:
This Proof-Of-Concent mod is built around a custom made skeleton, that allows me to introduce books that you can
interact with. For the moment it IS a resource, and there is only blank pages inside for demonstration purposes.
But it wouldnt be difficult for anyone with basic to intermediate modding and texturing skills to jump in and work with it.
The system is functional as is. So dig in!
Ive TRIED to make it compatible with Feng Shui, but I cant test it since I dont use FS.

Features:
A 56 Bone Custom Built Skeleton
10 Double Sided Pages
22 Page Turning Animations

Current Templates Included:
PSD Templates: Includes PSD Templates you can use as guides to create cover and page layouts.
Custom Entry Esp: Use this as a guide to how to easily plug in new entries into the system.

Future Plans:
I have little time to keep working on it at the moment.

How to install:
Download the MAIN file and either of the 2 OPTIONAL files, and dump in your data folder, load the esm high,
the esp/s low.

How it works:
-Wait until a new "Pre-War Book" is placed in your inventory.
-Drop the book out of your inventory place it flat, with the spine facing your left(hopefully not upside down)
-Activate to set it up to read
-hold either the "left" or "right" arrow keys on your keyboard and Activate
(NOTE: not your "left" or "right" movement keys)
-Grab+Activate to pick it up

Conflicts:
Shouldnt be any.

Updates:
VERSION 1.1:
-Forgot to update the cover texture after updating the UVs.
-Added a sale script, now they will be sold by most junk vendors in the wastes. Can take a day for them to restock.
-Added a custom entry template file you can use as a guide when adding your own books.

HOTFIX 3:
-Removed vertex color that was darkening pages
-Tweaked the BSBound to affect a smaller area.
-Fixed book disappearing on Wait.
-Page UVs were rotated wrong

Bugs:
-Sometimes leaving the cell will reset the idle animation to closed, but interacting with the book will then continue the animation from where you left off.
-Sometimes if you activate it before the animation is over, it can get stuck, or not play. Turning the opposite page
will fix that.
