I love this plugin! Since R0.3 the /bwb is not working. i have to use the full command.

For example : /bookswithoutborders load 1

@AkiraAkiba

That is good to know.

There used to be a bunch of plugins for copying books but none is updated. What I'm really looking for is a way to let players copy only books they themself have signed and to be able to konfigure a price for copying the books (materials or ingame money).

I want to offer players the abibilty to write books and sell them, and rewriting each book each time just isn't fun. :P

@AkiraAkiba

Thanks for letting us know. Anyway to add color to the text inside the books as well? Everytime I save it and load it again it comes with a random string of numbers in from of the words instead of the colors. Also, any idea when the next update is gonna be? I need this for some tutorial books I am writing and would love to use color.

Can this pe configured to only allow players to copy books they've written themself?

Awesome plugin! Is there anyway to color the titles of the books?

This plugin is a masterpiece, it has everything that include books on Minecraft, I can easy edit, load and save tons of books (I am creating a large storyline and I have everything written on a text file. Keep up that awesome work :D

@AkiraAkiba

Thank you for your time, I'm glad to hear that, and glad that I could help you. :-)

If you think I can do anything else then do reply. :-D

I can also do monkey-typing, a programmer expression, for someone (a typing-monkey) who writes boring long lists of information the programmer itself, is too lazy to do.

In your case data such as itemlists, lines which only have a single sign or word changed each, or so. I think you got the idea.

I will be happy to be at service ;-), and have really enjoyed this correspondance, so thank you for taking me seriously. :-) x 3

when I try to do delete public it always tells me incorrect file name! no matter how I try to format it, I've tried /bwb deletepublic [1], 1, [1] null.null.yml, etc., etc., etc., it just doesn't want to work...

<<reply 1991661>>
Yes, well of course! I will do what ever I can to help you, help us. ;-)

I currently using Pex (Permission EX), because it is, as far as I have experienced, the most convenient and stable for my use.

I'm not quite sure what you have in mind, when you say sample groups but I'll try...

Well... An admin group, a user1 group, a user2 group, a user3 group, and a default group)

(In my case dwarf, human, elf)

Since I do not know how you would add this function, I guess I'll have to use a temporary guess.

A bookcase.yml file, in which you store the name of your books and groups (categorized books, not pex-group).

Bookcase.yml

PublicBooks:
 Book1            ' this would be book1.txt and etc...
 Book2
 Book3
User1Books:
 User1OpenBook
 User1Secrets
 User1Generel
 User1Manual
 User1Rules
User2Books:
 OpenBook
 SecretsUser2        'to show another set of titles user[no] is just a part of the title not necessary or have to be an option.
 GenerelUser2
 ManualUser2
 RulesUser2
User3Books:        ' just to make a more complex example
 User3OpenBook    'in the maingroup
 User3Secrets
 User3Generel
 User3Manual
 User3Rules
 Default:            ' this is a subgroup...  indicator= ':'
 User3OpenBook
 User3Secrets
 User3Generel
 User3Manual
 Order:
 User3Rules
 User3Law
 State:
 User3secrets1
 User3secrets2
 User3securedsecrets

A pex-file which gives them the permissions to use the books (se the "permissions:" sections for more)

Physical paths:

eks. for Public:    ...\Plugins\BooksWithoutBorders\Books\Public    'Reserved folder for BooksWithoutBorders' public dir

Default:        ...\Plugins\BooksWithoutBorders\Books\User3Books\Default\{Books (txt) or Dir}

State:            ...\Plugins\BooksWithoutBorders\Books\User3Books\State\{Books (txt) or Dir}

How the program should read it,

eks. BooksWithoutBorders.books.user3books.state

(I program VB and Microsoft language, not java so I hope you can understand it)

Path = ""
Var1 = ""
Var2 = ""
Var3 = ""
Var4 = ""

'get the info from the file, the way Java does it, there is no point in typing it in like VB does it, since it doesn't use periodeseperated paths, as far as I know.

Var1 = "User3Books"
Var2 = "State"
Var3 = "User3Secrets2"
Var4 = "" ' In case the path isn't as long as it could be

Sub Func_check

    If isdir(Var1)=true then
        If isdir(var2)=true
            If isdir(var3)=true
                If isdir(var4)=true
                    End 'here could be some kind of error, like "Path is to long", or have to be a valid file or so.
                Else
                    If fileexist(Var4) then open "...\Plugins\BooksWithoutBorders\Books\" & Var1 & "\" & Var2 & "\" & Var3 & "\" & Var4 & ".txt"
                End If
            Else
                If fileexist(Var3) then open "...\Plugins\BooksWithoutBorders\Books\" & Var1 & "\" & Var2 & "\" & Var3 & ".txt"
            End If
        Else
            If fileexist(Var2) then open "...\Plugins\BooksWithoutBorders\Books\" & Var1 & "\" & Var2 & ".txt"
        End if
    Else
        If fileexist(Var1) then
            Open "...\Plugins\BooksWithoutBorders\Books\" & Var1 & ".txt"
        Else
            End' There is nothing to open
        End if
    End if
End Sub

I have checked every case, and there should be no error, except if a dir and a file has the same name it will open the folder, and won't look for a file.
And if a file within a dir, don't exist it simply ignore the path and don't open anything, but no real program-error will occure.

psudo-run of the ex.

is Var1 (User3Books) a dir?.... yes it is...

So then check is Var2 (State) a dir?

Yes it is, so then check is var3 (User3Secrets2) a dir?

No it is not

then is it a file?

yes it is

then open the file: "User3Secrets2" within the dir: "State" within the dir: "UserBooks"

:-D

Yeah the text is a little long, but I hope It might inspire you... :-D

@AkiraAkiba

Thank you so much, will look forward to this... :-D

...not to be greedy, impatient or anything but I want to ask about just óne more thing.

I don't know if it's already possible , but can you assign books to group policies? Is it possible to assign special books to special groups that only they may decrypt, and maybe only they may read? I'm not sure how to do this, if possible.

I guess I might need to explain myself, for asking so many questions...

I'm running/starting up a roleplay-server and this plugin satisfy my need of making manuals and books for each race...

So if I can control who may decrypt which books, then it would feel like having different languages one for each race, and in that way you can be at the same place, and even share the same communication such as Skype, and still have secrets, written in books, even if they somehow knew the right keyword.

...So can you already do something like this, or is it something that might is to come?

Regards Mibran

Hey AkiraAkiba

Could it be possible to make the admin permitted to bypass encryption, configurable?

I have a suggestion for a way to do this too... :-D

If files were stored like now but with an extension: _decrypted/_encrypted then an admin could just get the decrypted version at any time.

Ex. I make a file called "Testfile", it is stored as "Testfile"

If I encrypt it... with a key..., then the plugin renames filename to "Testfile_decrypted" , encrypt it, and store the encrypted version as "Testfile_encrypted"

...When I type in filename and key to decrypt it, then the program reads the Filename + "_encrypted" to get the file, ex.: "Testfile" + "_encrypted = Testfile_encrypted".

If I am an admin, I just type in the filename, as if I would read it without decrypting it, but the plugin still give me the Testfile_Decrypted. :-)

In that way, you don't need any new command for this.

...But if I, as admin, try to decrypt a file with a wrong key, then I just have the same consequences as anyone else, so that no extra coding is needed for this. :-D

I know you may use the plugin as it is for now, for security, but If you set admin_bypass (or what you might want to call it) to true then you have already made it possible to bypass the security and thereby not making it less vulnerable.

So is it possible? ...in an other way, perhaps?:-o
