Daggerfall books are located inside arena2\books and can be edited with DFBOOEDT, available as a part of DFTools package, found at Uesp.

Import books

Custom book files can be provided from loose files inside StreamingAssets/Books, for example StreamingAssets/Books/BOK00000.TXT. Alternatively, they can be bundled in a .dfmod as an asset with .bytes extension, for example BOK00000.TXT.bytes.

Declare new books

New books must be declared with a json file defined as follow:

[{
   "Name": "ExampleBook.TXT",
   "Title": "An Example Book"
   "ID": 1531909675
}]

• Name is the filename.
• Title is a readable name for the book, shown in game.
• ID An unique ID for the book between 1 and 2147483647
• IsUnique If true this book is not found inside random loots or bookshelves and must be made available directly by mods.
• WhenVarSet Book is available only when a global variable is set.

This file must be placed

• inside StreamingAssets/Books/Mapping (StreamingAssets/Books/Mapping/ExampleBooksPack.json).
• bundled inside a mod (.dfmod) inside a directory that ends with Books/Mapping (for example Assets/Game/Mods/MyMod/Books/Mapping/ExampleBooksPack.json).

You can instantiate a book item in game with the following method call.

GameManager.Instance.PlayerEntity.Items.AddItem(ItemBuilder.CreateBook("ExampleBook"));
