No zombie magazine drops?

[Jlane409]

Has a mod been made( could one be made) to remove all magazine/skill books from the zombies? I like playing with increased zombie drop chance, but with it comes way to many skill books, especially on horde night, usually by day 14 almost all skills are maxed out. I tried setting them to very low in the config files, but still get way to many for my liking.

these lines, with the items i am looking to remove inserted, would stop them from dropping?

That is simply removing the lootgroup with any books.   If they want to keep the perk books but remove magazines, then they would need to remove modify it some more to remove magazines but not perk books.  So when the bags are dropped, group 2 in each of the bags (which has the books / magazines) does not exist anymore.

This should remove any books or magazines from zombie loot bags if I wrote it up correctly.

Okay, now I understand it. I will have to give it a shot, your the man!
