Book Overhaul

[Pawlu]

Alrighty this is just another one of my threads whining about something obscure this time its books

1. Unlimited pages

This doesn't even need an introduction, people want to read books and not just look at a 2 page diary entry.

2. Covers

This is a bit more complicated, it basically displays an image on a book like a panel on a surface, this gives the book a bit more life other than the name and book color.

3. Publishing Machines

This is basically a mass photocopier which allows the mass printing of books rather than fill them all in by hand.

I swear there's been like 4 suggestions for more pages, it's not possible, I think?

Wish it was though, good ideas all around

Accepted - Blank Books

Blank Books should be infinitely editable. I've personally tried to keep an IC logbook with a book. But when you're limited to 3 edits, that makes it quite hard. It allows for more fun with books such as writing diary's, keeping logs, writing observations into it. Yeah, that's it Thanks.

Covers and Publishing machine would be great however

Can we not just have a really long book that you can scroll down? And separate with some breaks for each page.

Even though I don't play in this community anymore, I fully support this!

this has to be like the 6th suggestion for a book rework

Books with pictures were available since Clockwork framework, these books were not able to edit. All the time with new book "release" you needed develop lua scripts. However it would sound like making whole text editor option in books just to insert pictures.

Code example from one of scripts from Clockwork literature, showing that it can have picture in book:

Spoiler: Code Example: sh_book_out.lua

ITEM = Clockwork.item:New("book_base");

ITEM.name = "Outlands 2015";
ITEM.model = "models/props_lab/frame002a.mdl";
ITEM.uniqueID = "book_out";
ITEM.description = "A photo with a bunch of resistance members on it.";
ITEM.bookInformation = [[
    <img src = "http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/2064/resistancet.jpg" alt = "[A photo with a bunch of resistance members on it]."/>
]];

ITEM:Register();

It would be possible, but it is hard process to achieve. And hope it wont make lag more because of individual book storing more data than usual.

you can already insert images in the newspapers right?

Yep, three, two of which are the images you can insert via an Imgur link, the other is like 9-10 pre-selected advert images you can choose from

Checked this with fruity and unfortunately not possible, we may eventually extend how many pages you can use though
