[book] signs

[nirosu]

Well, if you'd want to make a book public, on instruction and stuff, it would be useful, and the fact you can have a sign that will let you read it is even more useful.

For example, people make exp farms, and tend to have a small room cramped with signs, that are really not pleasent to read, and sometimes the farm owner need to repeat them and re-re-explain, since the signs aren't that fulfilling, but it the owner were to have a magical way to let his customers read the full instructions while he's not on, maybe it'd save him lots of time.

Or for another example, making a free for all magazine, and instead of making loads of copies, just one sign for people to check out when they do, or it could be used as a list of prices in a shop.

What about adventures, and parkours? wouldn't it be better to have the story-line in a book form rather than tons of signs that probably people will skip after a while?

Also, things like tutorials usually have a chamber full of signs! why not one click that let's you see it better all concentrated in one place?

P.S-Cats, here is the other part of my essay, xoxoxo

I was actually thinking of sending each person in my kingdom the latest news and updates, but If I had one [Book] sign on a billboard that would probably be 100 times better I agree with this idea, hope it gets implemented

Would be good for posting contest rules, prices of stuff in player made shops, credits(a sign for each person could take a while), news.

this thing might revive the books into use once more, other than ripping the books apart by enchanting armours and tools >.>

although it's true that a "book" like sign would be handy they would need to know how to use it first (and people are capable of not knowing how it works/unable to figure it out themselves). 2ndly an essay is not a welcome way of reading the rules. 20 signs are way more likely to be read by me because the info is short and exact instead of an essay which makes me tired before I even start reading it.

btw sparkles I miss that plugin too (not 100 sure but I thought I saw a plugin that could be it so maybe it's just not turned on?) :S

Place a book in it, or make the sign while holding book, w/e the plugin guys do, it's up to them to pick the method, we could have it that with right click you can read the book, and with shift click, the owner could place a book(or replace), and as default the first time to press it(shift or not) will let you put a book in.

It'll be easy to do a prompt message saying:"You've made a [Book] sign successfully, please right click the sign and put a finished readable book."
Also, sign functions like lift signs and gate are actually more complex, I haven't used them for like a year because I didn't know how to use them, so relatively, this is quite simple in the described method above.(if it's possible)

And for the 2nd thing, rules are just an example, I agree some stuff are better with signs, but when it comes to messy things with loads of info, unlike "No grieffing" which is described in two words... then it might be needed, but then again, it has alot of possibilities, too much to fit in signs so just give me a book sign and i'll write them down
