Book bug ever get fixed?

[Will Greaves]

Did they ever fix the bug where reading a book permanently caused to to be marked "read," even when starting a new character, thus losing all future characters the ability to gain skill from that book?

 

[Ischenous]

I never saw that bug. Ever.

 

[Will Greaves]

Last time I checked in-game, it was still in original Mount & Blade.  I haven't read a book since then, so I have no idea if it was changed in later versions.  I don't even remember what the last version I checked it on was.  Anyway, I'm not going to check it in Mount & Blade Warband unless people can confirm that it's fixed.

Never encountered this bug either in Warband or Mount and Blade.
So I guess it's fixed, maybe it happened in earlier versions of Mount and Blade, I only played the final version.

 

[Will Greaves]

Have you read the same book on multiple characters, with both characters on the same version of the game?

 

[HTAPAWASO]

Never experienced this bug in either game.

Even if you export a character in the original and reload it into a new game, you can re-read books for additional skill points.

Was never reported on M&B, let alone Warband

I can't imagine how there could even be a bug like that. All game information is stored in the savegame, so starting a new character should have all the settings as they originally were when the game was installed. For this bug to happen, the read status of books would have to be written to something like an ini file or the registry, which defies any kind of common sense.

Really?

P.S. Still, it's relatively easy to fix even if WB has it too.

 

[Will Greaves]

You mean easy for the developers to fix, or easy for the players to fix?  Because if there's an easy fix I could be doing (deleting a file before starting a new character or something), I'd love to hear about it.

 

[Shik]

I've encountered this bug in 1.010 before.
edit: I just conducted a test in 1.127 warband, it looks like it's fixed.

 

[Will Greaves]

Oh, great.  Well, thanks for the heads-up; I was considering giving it a shot in version 1.010, but if it's still there, I won't bother.

 

[Dusk Voyager]

You mean easy for the developers to fix, or easy for the players to fix?  Because if there's an easy fix I could be doing (deleting a file before starting a new character or something), I'd love to hear about it.

I meant both, but the devs did it anyway then.

 

[Will Greaves]

What do you mean?  They fixed it in Warband?  Can you link me to the changelist of the version where they fixed it?

 

[Dusk Voyager]

I don't know if it's fixed or not, but Shik said it probably is. And I found out that this bug was never reported in 1.127 so far (even in bugtracker).

EDIT: In your M&B version's Module System module_scripts file find this:
