Thanks got to blackbinary for hosting our server where I can develop and test my plugins
Thanks to Marcsello for creating the Converter
it seems I am having the same exact problem as km_shepard. Yes could you make it possible to put a written book into an essentials kit (if you cant all ready)?. Also can i put multiple books in the starting kit/beginner book? I don't mean to bother you , you seem like a very busy person. Thanks again, -NotMatt
@km_shepard your server running on java7?
I am also having trouble getting the plugin to load. My server is saying
[severe] could not load 'plugins\StandardBooks.jar' in folder 'plugins' org.bukkit.plugin.InvalidPluginException: java.lang.UnsuportedClassVersionError: ch/blackminig/SB/SB... etc
help?
i have a written book already with bold text and italic in it.. but i think that may be messing with it because when i saved it.. players are getting a book back that was 11 pages and are now 89 pages because the pages are all spaced out... :\ i really want to use this plugin but i cant if im getting this error. i can give the book if youd like.
i used these http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1189266-books-guide-tips-and-hacks/
@MattIsNotMyNameMC thanks ;)
where was/is the trouble installing it? any errors?
Do you mean with kit to add it to for example essentials kits?
I've been waiting forever for a plugin just like this one, so let me start off saying THANK YOU!! :D. i am having trouble because the .jar wont create the folder but its probably just a bug. Also i was wondering because i cant get it installed corectly, can you add it to a kit? like do /kit donaterinfo and you will get a pre-written book. if not, could you please add it... and thanks so much for this plugin!!
@Forecaster71
Yeah that was a problem ;)
Updated plugin
StandardBooks.jar-v1.1
@BlindW4lk3r
I also got this error when a new player joined: http://pastebin.com/NmFRJFdH
The book in question does in fact exist.
EDIT: This happens because the name of the example book is actually "expample".
@BadHaders i didn't found it for iconomy but will change it because i found it in an other plugin
Blind: Heads up, /sb is used by Iconomy. You might want to change it, i would go for sbooks, books, or sbs. :) You don't have to of course, i changed the commands, but most people don't know how to.
@minegamer123 that sounds helpfull I will have a look at this
@Forecaster71 I noticed it and I will change it. I think I must also change the way a book is saved at the moment an enterkey is loaded as new page. I will start this immediately
I have an issue. When I clone a book from the saved ones in the plugin it includes the "title: " and "author: ". so the book tooltip will read "title: The Rules by author: Forecaster" instead of "The Rules by Forecaster".
Why does this happen?
Can you make the book appear in your inventory when /help or /rules is typed and add permission support for these features?
Thanks a lot for this :) Will be really useful.
The storage of books in bookcases
@Forecaster71 I wrote this plugin with java7 seems your server uses java6
Got this error on startup: http://pastebin.com/ua1mmhnY
I'm so gonna use this, thanks for the awesome plugin
@midnightfang22 yeah quite annoying
