Book (Inside) Replacer

Post » Mon May 16, 2011 11:41 pm

Are there any mods that replace the "Inside" of the books. I mean when your actually reading them. The scroll replacer does scrolls and your main journal book. I want to try to find something that does
all books. Any advice for a really good one.

http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=4054 also does this, but it isn't pluginless.

I think he means the texture of the book when you're reading it. So the texture that the text is printed on. Not the cover of the books.

(Do they use different textures for normal books than for the journal?)

But if someone does bump into this topic looking for a book jacket replacer, I combine Better Books and Book Jackets

I hated the look of those cutesy covers in the BookJackets mod - however clever the designs, English numbers and lettering is totally and utterly non-lore. (Think about the town signs and road markers). It's almost as bad as cats and dogs and horses roaming Vvardenfell...

The best book texture replacers I've seen are two sets: Illuminated Books by Connary - that one has the most PERFECT internal book pages I've ever seen, fully designed with Morrowind content instead of just being grabs of generic illuminated manuscripts - and http://tesall.ru/files/morrowind/replacers/?page=20#ext-books-scrolls. Between them you'll have the best set of book textures you'll ever download, with a bit of mixing and matching. Personally I moved around some of the cover textures to make sure the "series" books (like 36 Lessons of Vivec) had covers/spines that would look good stacked as a set, and I'm going to make my own personal ESP to give some of the more unique books their own covers out of the overlap from those two sets.

There are some other fabulous texture replacers accessible from that site. Well worth a browse. :)

Yes, I meant the inside of the book themselves, while you are reading them. I took a look at the one you linked..it looks pretty good but not exactly what I am looking for. Are there any other options you know of for mods that replace those textures? I want
to find something a little better than that one, if there is one out.

There are several options.

That's sad, but not knowledge that people like me new to these forums would be aware of. Is there an official download location for his mods? Those are jaw-droppingly fabulous work and it would be criminal not to make them available to the community after the care and attention that's been lavished on them. :(

By looking at all the ones you presented, I think I am going with your favorite one. Those look really well done.

I am not saying anything about it either way, but I was curious. Was "Connary" mad at the gamesas forums community, or was it for some other reason?
I don't know anything about him or his mods yet, I was just curious as to why, if you knew.

THanks for making an effort.
