Title: Writeable Papers and/or books
Post by: Sciamancer on August 05, 2011, 11:51:36 AM
Paper and book items should have the option to set a message to them that can be set using a command and is saved on the item so that the paper or book can be put in a chest and saved as information or sent to other players while someone is offline.

Papers:
Using "/writemessage *message*" while holding a paper should set the message to whatever you typed.
Using "/readmessage" should display the message written on the paper on hand in the IDP.

Perhaps papers could be like that, then books could have more?

Books:
A book's title could be set using "/settitle *title*", and the title would be displayed when the cursor is hovered over the book. I'm not sure if this is possible, but it would be cool.
A book could also have multiple pages, perhaps ten?
Using "/writepage *#* *message" while holding a book could set the message of that page to the message.
Using "readpage *#*" while holding a book would display the message on the given page.

I used different commands for papers and books, but same commands would be more efficient for players. Just not sure if the same commands writing and reading books and papers, considering the different fields, would be possible.

Could each piece of paper/book have its own data value which defines what is written on the page?

Its not possible to my knowledge. Valid data ranges are 0-15 - impossible to go higher. There is no other way to keep track of a specific item :(

Well, here's an idea. have it instead as a bookcase. right click the bookcase to see if it has any books in it, and use the commands on the bookcase to read/write the books.
as an experiment, maybe a client-side mod that allows you to more easily see which bookcases have written books and read them.

This could work, another suggestion to this would be locking the command so that bookcase owner/members is/are the only one/s who can write in it but be available for all to read

I like whats happening, maybe the bookcase is text based.

Click a book case which has 1 book in maybe, and the owner of it can edit the text of it.
/book [id]

Okay so I was looking through the Bukkit plugins and found this plugin that sounds like what you want.

Theres a vid on the page showing how it works and it looks pretty good.

Perhaps we could just add this plugin or create something similar? :\

The only issue i see happening is enchantment tables use bookshelves to enchant at higher levels
