Hey guys, I was just wondering If it is possible to edit the contents of a book at runtime. For example a Book containing the names of Faction members, when a member joins their name appears in the book, and when they leave it is removed.

Thankyou

If it were, then it would be possible for editable journals, which people have been seeking for a very very long time.

It is, to a limited extent. You could probably make a list of faction member as you mention. The way you accomplish this is by using http://www.creationkit.com/Text_Replacement. You will need to have a quest that includes as many aliases as there can be members in the group. Then fill each alias with a group member as they join and remove them from the alias when they leave. The name of the current actor in the alias can be displayed in your book.

There are some other threads here on the forum, if you search for "text replacement book" you will probably find some more detailed instructions in some other threads.

Ahh thanks for the help and direction, now I need to learn about how to use Aliases, I am new to the Creation Kit, but am quite experienced C# programmer. The Creation Kit to me seems a bit awkward and counter-intuitive, but then again that may just be me . Any way thanks for the help again
