Notices
The plugin has been COMPLETELY recoded in WelcomeBookRecoded v1.0. Pretty much EVERYTHING has changed, so make sure to understand the new plugin.
If you are using a plugin such as AuthMe you must make sure that if that plugin has an inventory protect feature you must disable it. In AuthMe it's the setting ProtectInventoryBeforeLogin in the config.

Posted Jan 23, 2013WelcomeBook.Spawn.* does not inherit WelcomeBook.Spawn so in order for someone to be able to /book get <anybook> they need both. Idk if that is intentional or not.

@ManBeastPigDev
Can you please open a ticket with more information, like when it says that book doesn't exist.
@monstercat101

Posted Jan 22, 2013Is there anyway to make it not seperate into pages? I would like to copy and paste a large body of text into the book without having to seperate it into page numbers. Awesome plugin, thanks so much.

It's written for all versions 1.4.5-R1.0 and later. It doesn't use any NMS or OBC code making it independent of all future CB updates, unless Bukkit changes something in their API which is highly unlikely.

Posted Jan 21, 2013What version of CB is WelcomeBook v3.3 written for? I'm assuming that you didn't downgrade the CB version as the Files would indicate. Also, does this plugin use and nms/obc code? Will it be effected by CB version updates?

Not sure what you mean, books already support colour by default. Use the section character followed up a number (0-9) or letter (a-f). Section character = §.

Since v3.3 WelcomeBook.Spawn is for the command and then every book has its own permission. So you can give your players WelcomeBook.Spawn.<BookName> for a specific book or WelcomeBook.Spawn.* for all books. Tested and working with all SuperPerms permissions plugins.

Posted Jan 10, 2013There's a problem the WelcomeBook.Spawn for PermissionsBukkit. None of my players can spawn books that have been exported. I have put permissions for the default rank in my server.
