The Basics: Being able to offer the players a book at start.
How it should work
Being able to offer players a custom written book.
The idea is that you'd be able to offer your players a book ingame either as a server owner or as a creater of a modpack.
The book should be able to show a lot more text than the vanilla books and also support different font styles and sizes as well as pictures. Chapters would be great as well.
Something similar to how the book in Ars Magica 2 looks like
The books should be written in something like xml or regular html to be easilly edited by the server owner/modpack creator. To write in the book the files needed to be written in should be placed in it's own folder inside the mods-folder or config-folder or be imported directly from a set website.
Why?
As a server administrator running a modded server with quests, extra NPC's and a lot of other different things I have to write a full wiki/website for the server that explains a lot of the things in the game for players. Keeping a website up for the server is nothing I will stop doing but all the important information is something I'd want to be able to offer my players ingame as well. Not everyone think about checking the website all the time and sometimes I need to update the information and when doing it on the website, many miss it.
I also love the idea of being able to give my players a rule/help/story/info-book ingame that's ,ore fun to read than the vanilla books and that let the player "jump" between pages better as well.
I have been looking for ages for something like this and considering how many mods there is that actually offer an ingame book that looks great it's strange that noone have made only the "book mod" that would let people create their own similar books.
This idea seem to be one that noone thinks about but I'm sure more people would like something like this as soon as they've have tried it.
So, someone, anyone, please! I'd love you forever if you make something like this!
Yes, I know about this one. Thankls for the tip thought.
The problem with Custom Codex is that it doesn't let you create a special book. It let's you create a book that is the same as the vanilla books. This could already be done with bukkit plugins as well.
What I need and are looking for is custom books that looks a lot better. True custom, with custom fonts, font size and preferable pictures and chapters.
As I said in my main post. Something a lot like Ars Magica 2's book.
