Thanks for all the great info!
Hopefully I'll have more info soon. I did what I should've done from the start and rewrote the entire script (for like the fifth time). Now all I'm having trouble with is outputting the info.
I wrote it now as a Game Mod, but the game protects against rogue mods by disallowing Modders access to the ability to write to the HDD. Makes life difficult for honest people like me.
Success! I won't go into how I did it (sneaky little workarounds), but I've got the (hopefully) complete list of books in the game. Only took me a year or so.
This list is long (about 559 lines), so wall of text warning! For easy skipping, you can just Ctrl+F and search for "MARK: ".
Of note: (Sim) is used in the medical journals -- it's the name of whomever owns the journal. # represents the edition/journal/volume number of the book (e.g Organ Donation: Volume 4). There's a note for one of the books (Passn, then Pay -- no clue what it is)
And, without further ado, here's the books. I'll be modifying my script to try and add in prices, authors, etc, later.
