Soul Filcher's Photographing Time (BETA)

Description
Compatible with 41.78 SP

UPDATE 21/30/2022:
-Fixed Photographing Magazine missing model when reading it.
-Fixed book titles in tooltips for skill books.
-Added French translation by Xianah.

Take pictures of the world around you!
This mod is currently in beta testing, so give feedback and expect a few bugs!

-Photographer profession and Photomaniac trait (mainly for roleplaying purposes so they're cheap).
-Photography skill and skillbooks (Uses not implemented for now).
-Taking pictures is good for you mental health! Even better if you take the Photomaniac trait.
-Magazine that teaches how to reveal Camera Films and create pictures with them.

QUICK GUIDE

Find one of the 3 different camera types and camera films.
Insert a film into the camera (Disposable Cameras come with their own films).
Equip the camera as secondary.
Right click the world to take pictures, then select the focus object.
Be careful! Taking pictures near zombies is dangerous!
When you're finished with a Camera Film remove it from the camera and reveal it (If you're not a Photographer find the magazine that teaches these recipes).
Don't forget to label your Camera Films using a pen or pencil so you won't get them mixed.
Once a Camera Film is revealed it can't be used in a camera anymore, but now it can be used to create the Pictures, you're going to need Photographic Paper.
Right click your pictures and Inspect them to see them on screen.

KNOWN BUGS

Some pictures are not cropped and include the whole screen, may be related to taking pictures of objects too close to the limits of the screen.
Overall object detection and their displayed names in the Take Picture menu need some improvement.

PLANNED FOR THE FUTURE

Right now the Reveal Camera Film and Reveal Pictures recipes are missing their chemical components.
Photography skill will be used as a chance to reveal a film properly, as well as an internal "score" for each picture.
Picture albums to keep them organized.

How do I remove the film from disposable cameras? I read the magazine but I couldn't get the film out of it since it wasn't for the disposable camera.

What about digital cameras?

@soulfilcher: What folder are the pictures stored in specifically please?

I THINK it should work if a folder of the same name is made on the servers data folder (or wherever the photos are stored), would it not?

Love the idea! Not sure if it's operator error, or maybe a mod conflict, but when I do "Take a Picture", the game window freezes. I can still move my character around, open and close the esc menu, zombies will still attack, but I'm just stuck at the frame when I used the option to "Take a Picture".

@Birget: You need to equip it as secondary item.

Hello! I don't have an option to take a picture. I have a camera with a film inserted in inventory, I right-click in the world but there are no new options in context menu. Tried equipping camera - same result. Tested both Photographer occupation and Unemployed with books and magazine read. The save has only mod options and mod manager enabled, no other mods, debug mode. What I do wrong?
