i just realised, it would be cool if you could transcribe the text of scrolls, books, papers and what not to these stone tablets, like you can with parchments.

Oh, well if it works I'm less worried about it getting an update. I just wanted to know if it did or not, since it hadn't received an update in nearly a year

Novabella Sry I ran aground implementing something akin to PDFs trying to make books prettier and support images and such. I haven't been back modding for a while since that fizzled.

The mod still works for 1.19.x from the bit I've tested except for auto equipping a worn stylus. I'll get around to fixing it as I've felt the itch to do some modding again but I dont have a time table.

I take it this mod isn't ever getting an update? 

Out of curiosity, how hard is it to add a clay tablet recipe that you can write on with a reed stylus, then bake to set the writing, as it were, 'In Stone?'

I have the stylus in an accessory slot but it's not auto equiping when I select a tablet. I'm using ver. 0.1.4 on VS1.18.15.

Other than that it's been great. 

Speaking of the comment below, clay tablets that could be fired to "lock them" would be a cool addition imo

After being sold poor quality copper by a devious merchant I thought that miscreant was getting the last laugh, but now I can write a stone tablet and tell him what I really think of him! Thank you Soggylithe!

@Soggylithe You could do that, but it'd have no bearing on reality.  We have birch bark letters/etc from centuries ago that are perfectly legible.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birch_bark_manuscript

Vinter_Nacht That gives me an idea, there are times when I am out and about without any writing tools on me and it would be nice to take a note of something.

But really I want to write it down for adding to a book later so maybe there should be an easy on the go tool that decays so you have an incentive to consolidate your notes. Maybe the bark dries out and letters start disappearing/smearing.

You should add bone writing, and birchbark writing, just to keep this interesting and expanding.

Lodey Hmm even stranger, it seems to be a vanilla bug with books right now (1.18.1), using the arrowkeys to scroll right when you're already at the end of the text crashes the game. >__<

Lodey Strange, looks like its a bug with being 1 page for the maxPageCount. That explains why Parchments are 2 pages long lmao.

Should be a fix coming this evening after bughunting with the help of a server.

When use the right arrow key while using the tablet and it's the end of the line the game crashes.

Thank you so Much for the Fix!

It no longer wipes, thank you so much for the fix!

New fix is out and will feel a little less snappy since there is some server latency built in now. Oh well, that shouldn't be an issue if/when they update books or I do it.

ShuckinBeanz Voidwalker

Alright I know the issue but the correct fix is bugged lol.

The issue comes from a desync between the client and server about what slot the stylus is in when its equipped automatically.

I'll need a bit to figure out a workaround. Thanks again to all of you for helping with this.

ShuckinBeanz Voidwalker Ok, I have the bug now and can look into fixing it. Thanks a ton for the feedback and yeah this is strange.

Soggylithe @Voidwalker

It was on 1.18.0. After a quick game update and check with my current modlist, it still persists. Out of curiosity I moved out all the other mods then did a game restart and I tried saving then signing a tablet and putting it into my inventory and on the ground, both times the contents are wiped. It keeps the contents saved putting it inside a bookshelf in creative, though. 😅 From my end it looks to be the mod itself? 🤔 I am using v0.1.3 of this mod, just putting that out there!

Voidwalker What version of Vintagestory was that on or can you get me the crash text? I might be able to do a workaround if I know what is causing it.

Soggylithe ShuckinBeanz

I'm still having that Error myself, It happens the same way and will even wipe itself between game world load. I think its part of the Crash issue when you move the book to the next page and it CTD. Kinda sad cause I was using the Stone Tablet to add Notes and Flavor text about areas for a build.

ShuckinBeanz Was that on 1.18.0 or 1.18.1? It seems like 18.0 had some weirdness with written books and got fixed in 18.1 so I dont know if the issue was with mods or with vanilla strangeness.

OBEDIA Yeah that was a 0 hour fix

I noticed that the contents of a tablet after saving/signing deletes itself after placing it into my inventory and on the ground. There's no crash, so no logs that I know of, and these are the mods I use. 😊

I had the prior version of this mod removed because it crashed my server when someone placed those blue lightplants that hang down. Did that get fixed?

Soggylithe no problem, thank you for the fix :)

Yep that was a silly mistake that could have been caught with some playtest hours ahead of time instead of just testing what the mod adds. >_<

I'll definitely be doing more of that with any future mod realeases. Sorry to all of you!

jaspermerle Yep I can recreate that and am looking into it now. Sorry about the incovenience.

hey idk if it's an issue only with me cause i got some other mods installed too, but i get a crash with the 0.1.2 version of this mod when picking up an ingot mold from the floor, it says the error occured in this mod...
In the 0.0.2 version, this does not seem to happen and work fine, with nothing changed except this mods version

I've waited so long to use be able to write Stories/Lore in game and your mod has made it easier to start a in game journal early! Thanks so much for the mod!

Thranos People on the Discord said the same thing and it is something I will be adding eventually.

Wouldn't clay tablets make more sense?

Phoenix32 What's wrong with the ground storage? Also what version are you on?

Great mod, but please fix the ground storage

Good Job for making my life easier

Great mod!
