-- -- Editable books -- Code based off the books_plus mod -- By Kaadmy, for Pixture -- --[[ Get translation function. The 'book' name is used here instead of 'rp_book' due to legacy reasons, so that old written books still have their correct translation after the renaming orgy after 1.5.3. If we switch to 'rp_book', then the item tooltip of writen books would lose their translation. This could be solved if Minetest had a function like minetest.register_lbm, but for items. But the 'book' identifier works just fine for now, it's just a minor deviation from convention. ]] local S = minetest.get_translator("book") local F = minetest.formspec_escape local BOOK_MAX_TITLE_LENGTH = 64 local BOOK_MAX_TEXT_LENGTH = 4500 minetest.register_craftitem( ":rp_default:book", { description = S("Unnamed Book"), _tt_help = S("Write down some notes"), inventory_image = "default_book.png", stack_max = 1, on_use = function(itemstack, player, pointed_thing) local name = player:get_player_name() local data = itemstack:get_meta() local title = "" local text = "" if data then text = data:get_string("book:text") title = data:get_string("book:title") end local form = rp_formspec.get_page("rp_default:notabs") form = form ..
