Books

[Gangrenous]

Is there anyway to control what happens when a book is read? I know how to control author and title, but what about when a book is read or would that be handled under the examine event?

No one has done anything into adding support for books yet.

any way to tell if we have any raw data on books
as in what is contained on a page

that is sitting somewhere

i am getting ready to collect a few

[Jabantiz]

I will poke around the db that stores the raw parsed logs and see about books.

thanks , i am working on those right now, and can collect data on them from live,
our only option since, census doesnt appear to provide the pages

i have done the following ready for testing on my end
1. Created table for recipe pages
2. wrote code to read in the pages and put in items structure
3. we already have some code that will send pages to the client thanks to JA

*found a struct change in items that goes back to db version 893 i think(maybe 1188), stack_size seems to have been int16 even back then, i am testing that now

Are we talking books or recipe books?

For books it looks like we never parsed them, we have tables for them but they are completely empty.

Recipe books are a different item and not sure what table they are in.

[Ememjr]

readable books, like you can put in your house

[Ememjr]

typically there are 2 for each in items, one is for the inventory item
the other is for the house item

[Jabantiz]

That is what I thought and no we do not have any of that info parsed sadly.

[Ememjr]

thats fine, i can do some mods on the parser and parse the old logs and, i think i have just about every book ever made from 1-50 in a couple of houses, so we can get the data
