Is there a way to change the modifier for a reference book?

[Brocephus]

I have been helping a Warband mod dev from time to time to track down a few things in the code and he asked me to look into whether we can change the modifiers for books. I see that we have a few types of reference books that are generated into item_kinds1.txt from their item descriptor in module_items.py. It looks to me like the bonus must be implied by the item identifier and is hardcoded on the game side.

For example, itm_book_wound_treatment_reference means +1 to wound treatment and there is no way to make that +2.

Correct?

You can look up the book-id in module_items and track them down with that in module_simple_triggers (I think it was there).

This here might also be interesting for you:

I don't see anything related to reference books in module_simple_triggers. Those bonuses seem to all be related to readable books. Changing those might be an option though!

Are the books not giving a bonus after you have read them? Sorry, I didn't play Native for a while. You can simply look through all module_* files for the id of the books, module_scripts sounds like a reasonable other place to find something.

nope, see

  #script_game_get_skill_modifier_for_troop
  # This script is called from the game engine when a skill's modifiers are needed
  # INPUT: arg1 = troop_no, arg2 = skill_no
  # OUTPUT: trigger_result = modifier_value
  ("game_get_skill_modifier_for_troop",
