Custom Book Freezes

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 11:57 am

I was wondering if anyone has experienced this, and could offer a solution (if there is one). I wanted to write a brief intro to my mod in a book, and place it somewhere in the city I created. So I copied off an existing book, gave it a unique name, wrote some stuff in it, and placed it. That all worked fine, and I can read what I wrote, but whenever I click on "Close" after reading the book, the game temporarily freezes for about 15-20 seconds. I placed an original Morrowind book next to it, and I can read and close that one without any lockup, but my custom book always freezes. Anyone know why? Or better yet, how to fix it? :hehe: Thanks in advance!

Didn't you by chance break some of HTML tags in your book?

Not sure... How would I do that? If I did, it wasn't deliberate (I don't even know what HTML tags are).

Morrowind books use a limited subset of the 'codes' that define webpages. These allow you to centre text, to define a font to be used and to add line breaks, for instance.

While the tutorial linked to below is now sadly without images, it will still tell you some of the basics:

That's a great resource! Thanks for pointing me there. I didn't realize books could get that complicated! (And I probably did mess up some of the tag info. :embarrass: ) Thanks again!
