Love this mod, but could you add the Ctrl-Shift button combo to the tooltips when you select parchment, so you don't have to already know the button combo to discover it? I'd like to add this to my server, but I don't know how people would learn how to use it in-game.

swapping shift and control for sprint and crouch makes it impossible to post a bill

Super cool mod. Defo gonna use this on the next playthrough for crafting stations so I can have recipes on hand without opening handbook.

Not sure what exactly is causing this, but when I tried to put down a billpost beside a door, I instantly crashed, and now crash any time I attempt to rejoin the server. The server itself is still running, so it's something that breaks client-side, but that's about the extent of my knowledge. Haven't yet tested if it's stuff like Optitime, but will be doing that shortly. Crash log:

Edit: It's not Optitime, crashes even without it.

timfim yeah it will, I noticed the issue but have issues with my Visual Studio, it should come around pretty soon

will this be updated for 1.22?

Moby_ For the planned wax seals, it seems like the mod Envelopes does a pretty good job of cusomizationable wax seals for letters. Maybe you could reach out to the author and use the same system? Or at a least a jumping point. I would love to be able to place wax seals.

Is it intented for people to be able to put billposts on areas that are claimed / they don't have access to? Just found someone put one up in our server spawn. Not a huge deal but wondering if there's anythign we can do to prevent this. Thanks!

Can you make Billposting pickup (The stuff in red text at the top of the mod page) configable in future updates? My friends and I use the mod as a notice board on my server and currently use 1.0.2, but are afraid that if the mod needs to update to a new VS version it won't be possible anymore

captanredbeard Yeah, well it's not really looking for the texture since it's in the shape file. The texture is redefined in the entity file anyways so that shoudn't be noticeable in any way. I'll fix it next update to avoid log cluttering but that's not really an issue

It's just the ModelCreator using absolute path by default when creating the file

TideTurner it's that mod is searching for the texture for the billpost in a cloud folder. it's an issue for the mod author to fix.

captanredbeard having files in a synced folder to a cloud drive often breaks games. Please take them out of that file.

Also this mod is pretty good for food recipies. :3

issue with the billpost having a texture not properly defined.

I'm having an issue after placing down parchment that has 2 or more pages.
I cannot pick it back up.
I am able to pick up other notes as long as they aren't longer than 1 page.

Ah- I found out why. The text box was going over my crosshair/middle of screen.
Using the alt key and my mouse cursor instead, I was able to pick it back up.

DejFidOFF Do you have logs, or any more details about how/what isn't working?

1.21.1 Not working for my server

You know, I am suprised that this isn't a feature in vanilla already. This give more immersive way of RP in the game alone. thanks for the mod.

Hi Moby_  excellent mod.
Are you going to update it soon? 
1.21.0 been stable for some time, we even got 1.21.1 already. 

Works with 1.21, but it's buggy.
There's some Z-fighting on pinned parchments.

Does this work with 1.21? And if not, is there an update soon?

Wonderful mod. Now I can finally commit to that Luther gameplay!

also super excited for 1.21, this mod looks amazing for multiplayer immersion

Can't wait for the 1.21 version! 

I had no problem placing the parchemnt, but it flickers a lot

Yokie That's weird... Did you rebind keys, by any chance?

If you didn't, I'll try to fix it (even if you did rebind tbh), it's not that easy of a fix but definitely doable

I'm not sure exactly what's going on, but I can pin the blank parchments perfectly fine, but as soon as I write something in the parchment, I'm unable to pin it anymore. Even when holding shift+ctrl+rmb it just brings up the text box for the parchment. 

cjc813 yeah, I'll update it to 1.21. This is a mod that I'm actively using on a server so it'll be updated pretty fast x)
I'll wait for the full release though, since a lot of the time there are issues in pre and rc that get fixed in the full release

Jalex I have no idea what might cause that. I didn't noticed since parchments aren't really made to have more than 2 pages of text, and not even one page gets displayed on billposts. I suspect that it's syncing that takes a while, I'll look into it when updating to 1.21

Hiya I'm having trouble picking up pieces of parchment that have multiple pages of text written on them, 3 or more generally.
When I do what I would usually to picke them back up (right click) it doesn nothing, sometimes it works randomly but it takes a minute upwards. Also the current slot of the Hotbar gets locked, meaning I cant switch do another slot when looking at it.

So reproduction:
1. Put Parchment with 3 + pages of Text on it on a Wall
2. try removing it by right clicking
3. nothing happens except hotbar slot gets locked

i'm seeing a flickering graphical issue in 1.21 rc.

i really like this mod. plans for 1.21?

blueblynd There isn't for now, I'm planning to add billpost tags to customize things (like font, text color, font size, possibly add seals to the billboards...), but before that I'll probably add a client-side configuration option to increase or decrease the font size, precisely for accessibility reasons

Moby_ sorry to bother you if this has been asked before, but is there currently a way to scale the text size like there is with signs and plaques? if there is, i can't find it, but i'm visually impaired so it could very well be user error. (kind of the same reason the small text is bothering me in the first place xD)

This is really clever, great mod 👌

Piovli I'd love to, but unfortunately, I'm using rendering code derived from signs. So unless signs start supporting VTML or I rewrite the text texture generation code, that's going to be hard to implement...

If possible, please provide a VTML support for the parchments that were placed on a wall - it'd be amazing to have some proper text customizability without having to pick up the paper.

Rythillian why is it a dealbreaker that they're entities?

The way I see it, it makes it possible to place them anywhere, and have multiple on the same block

There's a little jank left that I haven't fixed yet, like having to unpin billposts before placing a block where they are, or them not dropping when the block behind is broken, but I don't see why you'd call them being entities a complete dealbreaker, could you clarify that?

Fantastic Idea, but really wish these weren't entities. Complete deal breaker to have them be entities.

SovietSwede you should be able to pin any parchment that has something written on it. You have to write with an ink and quill before pinning it. Note that you need to hold shift+ctrl+right click, as using just ctrl+right click will make you read it instead of placing it down.

Did you change some keybinds? It shouldn't matter, but if you did, that might be a clue.

Hey!

Great idea for a mod! i just got it downloaded, but i can't seem to write anything on the notes.

They stick to the wall just fine, but i can't write on them, neither with charcoal or ink.

I've tried writing a document beforehand, in ink. But then i can't pin it. 
What am i doing wrong?

Thanks

JonR yeah, I considered taking some things out of Joy of Painting (probably modifying them, at least because JoP stores images in a weird way due to an old bug that I had to work around, bug that no longer exists afaik, also because paintings are blocks and billposts are entities) to allow people to add images, but it might double or triple the code base

That might happen someday, but it's a lot of work

Oh yeah, totally understandable, that would be incredibly hard to do I figure. Maybe if you were fine with messing around with the rendering some more, you could instead have it as a separate mesh overlay that just stamps that on over the paper entity? Then you wouldn't have to touch the sign code, and it could be added through just a 'stamp' item that you rightclick it with instead, hah.

Lo_and_Behold Well, the mod is less than half a day old and only installed for 7 servers at the moment, so I don't really have scalability data
It's stable in multiplayer, and I haven't noticed any lag. It should be about as optimized as vanilla signs, since it's using a similar rendering method.

Pear120 I'll look into it, official billposts could definitely be neat!

JonR yeah, being able to put images on billboards has already been requested by multiple people x)
It's not really easy to add though... I might pull some stuff from Joy of Painting if I can make it work, but there's really no guarantee about that, as it would require rewriting a lot of stuff

Ooh, this is an incredible addition to the game. I love the simple potential it has for immersive roleplay and everything, and it looks great as well! Really nice work all around! Similarly to the wax seals idea and Envelopes, it might be kinda sick to have a 'Stamp' option as well later down the line? Perhaps just pulling from the Minimap symbols at first, but if it could allow for player customization like actually drawing (or mimicking such with voxel-crafting) that'd be a really cool way to mark your posts.

If you add wax seals, please look into Envelopes compatability! They have a custom wax seal system, and it'd be nice to have that same level of "seal authenticity" for bill posting too if they use the same system.

Hello! This mod looks quite amazing, truly. And it would fit on the server I play on like a glove!

However, I have to ask. How are its impacts on the performance of big servers? How about known bugs and or incompatibilities?

Thanks in advance!

You did something I always wanted to have on my Notice Board mod, good job ^^
