No offense, but you sound aggressive o.O My laptop shutdown in the middle of editing page 22, twice, and I still finished 47 pages in the end. One page doesn't take you hours, sir.

Can you please remove the Version number from the Jar file Name its not needed and causes issues.

Why?

Simple say a server admin is updating the plugin and Just drags and drops in a FTP window normally most jar files just overwrite the old one but because of the name difference created by the version number this plugin will not overwrite and will require manual removal of the OLD version if a server owner forgets to do this there will no doubt be errors involved and you may get bug reports that waste server admins time and your own time.

Do you mean the first line to be in quotes? That is not a bad idea actually. I am not sure if it would work as expected. Will check that today.

To fix the bug with the & sign at the beginning, and allowing for other characters, you can put the page entry in double quotes:

page5: "&6Hello, fellow kinsman"

Do you mean the colour type reset? I wasn't sure if this was a color code. Does it reset the color or something?

EDIT: Don't worry about it, I've done it already. This will be in the next release. You can reset it by changing the color to black or white.

The &r reset code doesn't appear to work, however it does reset on a new line.

page1: -<] &6&lTenets &r[>-*n*&r&41. &lNo griefing*n*&r&42

I'll add this to TODO list, it's a great idea. So you want a command to get a existing book to a config?

@Dalez

Why don't you update to java 7?

@RustyDagger

Yes, thanks for that :)

Any way you can compile this against Java 6? This plugin doesn't work unless you have 7 :(

Awesome. One question: Is there a command to add a book written in game into this plugin? It takes a long time to transfer all the content from my old book to this new config.

It's done, wasn't really that hard but finally done it with a help of a new plugin dev. Please read changelog for new changes.

That's exactly what I did, it works perfectly :) But I think he meant that most book plugins did not have these features.

Hope this one sticks around! There have been a few book plugins since 1.3 came out that either died off right away or weren't quite feature-rich enough.

Based on problems the other plugins had, we need:

A working system to track first joins and give that new player a book

The ability to manually give a player a book

The ability for a player to request a certain book on his own (server tutorials, for example)

An easy way to edit books offline (i.e no binary book storage, the ability to easily edit the config file where the book data is stored)

Proper formatting code support (colors, newline, etc. Basically support for everything on this page)

Thanks for your efforts!
