[FUN/MECH] BookWorm v1.14 - Read and write books[BukkitDev]

thank you it worked

Aww, you mean with an average of ~10 books per map, I can only put 3,276 instanced adventure maps on my server? Kidding of course, lol.

I think that will be plenty for my needs. Thanks!

How can i go previous page on book?

Spout is the new BukkitContrib, and since all the names and such were refactored, all the BukkitContrib plugins will have to be updated to use Spout.

Version 1.6 is released. The most important thing about this version is that it supports Spout rather than BukkitContrib. It's mostly just a name update (BukkitContrib changed its name to Spout), but this does make it completely incompatible with BukkitContrib and any clients using the BukkitContrib client mod. Keep this in mind when updating. For now I'm including both this new version and the previous BukkitContrib version in the downloads list.

I believe I made it plenty clear that this version is not in any way compatible with BukkitContrib.

I don't have BukkitContrib.. I got Spout installed.

That error can only happen if you have BukkitContrib installed. It's trying to cast from a Contrib object to a Spout object.

Does the spout support only add per-book tooltips? Because a simple GUI for writing books and storing them in bookcases such as is found in single player book mods would work wonders.

Also, (sorry if I'm sounding pushy :X) I would like to have each copy of a book become a book record in and of it's self, so that after a copy is made, it can be edited independently. Would there be an option for that?

Thankyou very much ^_^

One of the best things in the Plugins List.

It seems that every time I create a new book, everyone on my server that doesn't have SpoutCraft gets dropped from the server

I get this Connection Lost error clientside
Internal exception: java.io.IOException: Bad packet id 195

No server side Errors.


Edit: It only seems to do this when the serverside Spout plugin is installed

Are you using the most recent Spout version?

Yep, just downloaded it from the spout forum thread.

Oh Yes that would be GREAT. And with Spout there is no "this isn't possible" replies anymore. Now, it's either "Yes", or "Yes, in the future".

waiting for this

This plugin looks really awsome but i can't get it working for me. i downloade it to my server and when i typed /write it does reply /write <title> which is what its sopposed to do but when i type /write Binky it says: An internal error occured! Please help am i doing somthing wrong?

What is the error on the console?

Help, when i or one of my players try to look at the book title or read the book, everyone gets kicked off the server and it displays a message to everyone, "Internal exception: java.io.IOException: Bad packet id 195"
the server displays no error messages and continues running like normal

Edit: i now relise that other people have this same problem and i am checking if my plugins require spout

Edit2: 1 other plugin requires spout. Please try to fix this

Bug fix version 1.6.1 released!

This should now be fixed.

When i try to write...

This assumes (falsely) that all plugin developers or server admins will use Spout if they want a plugin that is not possible without it. I personally don't want to use Spout because I feel like it has too much useless stuff in it, because it requires a client mod for most of the most useful features, and because I don't like the rumours I've heard about their custom launcher. Besides, Spout will probably become obsolete soon enough, anyway, though perhaps not all at once.

Sorry. Just after I sent u this message I fixed it after some weeks of tweaking. Sorry about wasting your time.

While the "anything is possible" quote is clearly just some throwaway hype, I'm still surprised to hear these views from an experienced plugin developer. Surely you understand that by definition Spout HAS to be a client mod to achieve the primary goal of the project?

Also, what do you mean when you say useless stuff? Bundling mods with the default install is dodgy on paper, but the improved chat features and Optifog are both extremely useful and almost invisible to anyone who has no interest in them. I'll concede that the Custom Launcher is currently a bit wonky, but it does the job for now and successfully separates the modloaderised clusterfuck that is most people's default MC directory from Spout's soon-to-be server controlled addons. If there are nasty rumours about the launcher, or some more specific reasons why Spout is a bad thing, how about sharing?

I'm surprised to be referred to as an experienced plugin developer. Then again, considering my work on General, my Bukkit pull requests, my contribution to Spout (inventory events), and my other plugins, I suppose maybe I am.

Yeah, I understand that, but I don't like it. At least the client mod isn't required for the inventory events, though. Of course, they'll eventually be in Bukkit core.

I was mainly thinking of the packet listeners when I said this, though perhaps "useless" is the wrong word. Perhaps "pointless" or "ill-conceived" would be better. The keyboard listeners are even worse; the server should not be concerned with which key you press to do something. Similarly with the gui controls; the server should never be concerned with the interface presented to the user (though those classes look nice for client-side stuff).

The rumours I was thinking of were related to (futile) attempts to make the launcher uncrackable. I wouldn't say Spout is a bad thing on the whole, but it's not all sunshine and fairies either.

I think it is possible to make the title of a book appear when you mouse over it with spout! can you work with spout and see if that is possible?

Already done. See the change log.

Thanks!

you need the client side mod for this?

No, but if you have it you get a few extra features.

Please if you could add this feature that would be awesome:
1. The ability to write in pieces of paper to work as letters from player to player, that would be a major advance for RP servers like mine!
Thanks in advance for this GREAT plugin!!
