I have looked all over the forums and wiki, and unless I am missing a thread somewhere this is all I have found:

Somewhat helpful, except that I am not familiar with SQL (which I am guessing is what he "went into" to make the book), so I have no idea how to do what the poster is describing.

Bit more helpful, was able to do what Dudeman did and edit an existing book but still not foolproof for someone like myself that doesn't know what he's doing.
Anyway, I also scanned the Wiki and found nothing more on how to actually create a custom book. My question for GeorgeS is, is there any possibility of adding the ability to modify book text to your item editor, or is there anyone out there that could write a short tutorial on how to do it? I am rebuilding my database to include some custom content and clean up a ton of quests, and plan on posting it once it is done and I learn hot to extract it. Anyway, sorry for the long winded post, and thank you all so much for the work you've done, it is incredible! |
the book is an item. whats writen inside a book is stored in books.tbl table which corespand to the property of the field "book" in items table
so take any book in item editor and look at "book" field and you will see the short id name of the book text
then open mySQL browser. and simply open books table, find row with the same name and edit away like in notepad
