[Suggestion] In-game new player guide update

Discussion in 'Suggestion Box Archives' started by ShelLuser, Aug 26, 2017.

  1. Hi gang!

    So recently we saw an update on the new player guide which I think was really cool, but unfortunately the in-game new player guide got kind of ignored and I think it could really use some love as well.

    See, the problem is that the book is 50 pages long and every time you close a written book you don't open it where you left off. No, you'll open it right at the beginning again. And that can become quite tedious. Especially if you're trying to use this as your personal guide (and why not, it is soulbound afterall?).

    So my suggestion: add an index page.

    You know, a nice overview of topics so that players can see right away what's in the book and can also click on a section name so that the book will open at that specific spot.

    In specific I suggest something like this:


    Now, this is the kind of suggestion which is easier said than done. Trust me: I know. That picture up there? That's not merely a nicely formatted colorful page. Nope...

    So my suggestion boils down to adding this:

    Code:
    /give @p written_book 1 0 {generation:0,author:"Empire Minecraft",title:"New  Player Guide",pages:["[{\"text\":\"          = INDEX =\\n\\n\",\"color\": \"gold\"},{\"color\":\"dark_purple\",\"text\":\"Welcome ...................... P2\", \"clickEvent\":{\"action\":\"change_page\",\"value\":\"2\"}},{\"color\":\"dark_red\",\"text\":\"\\nServer rules ........... P4\",\"clickEvent\":{\"action\":\"change_page\",\"value\":\"4\"}},{\"color\":\"dark_red\",\"text\":\"\\nChat Rules ................. P10\",\"clickEvent\":{\"action\":\"change_page\",\"value\":\"10\"}},{\"color\":\"green\",\"text\":\"\\nThe Town .................... P16\",\"clickEvent\":{\"action\":\"change_page\",\"value\":\"16\"}},{\"color\":\"dark_purple\",\"text\":\"\\nDerelict Policy ......... P19\",\"clickEvent\":{\"action\":\"change_page\",\"value\":\"19\"}},{\"color\":\"dark_blue\",\"text\":\"\\nGetting around ........ P20\",\"clickEvent\":{\"action\":\"change_page\",\"value\":\"20\"}},{\"color\":\"dark_blue\",\"text\":\"\\nRupees/tokens ....... P27\",\"clickEvent\":{\"action\":\"change_page\",\"value\":\"27\"}},{\"color\":\"red\",\"text\":\"\\nPlayer settings ....... P31\",\"clickEvent\":{\"action\":\"change_page\",\"value\":\"31\"}},{\"color\":\"dark_purple\",\"text\":\"\\nOther commands ..... P34\",\"clickEvent\":{\"action\":\"change_page\",\"value\":\"34\"}},{\"color\":\"dark_red\",\"text\":\"\\nReporting players . P40\",\"clickEvent\":{\"action\":\"change_page\",\"value\":\"40\"}},{\"color\":\"dark_blue\",\"text\":\"\\nThe forums ............... P44\",\"clickEvent\":{\"action\":\"change_page\",\"value\":\"44\"}},{\"color\":\"dark_purple\",\"text\":\"\\nFinal note ................... P45\",\"clickEvent\":{\"action\":\"change_page\",\"value\":\"45\"}}]"]}
    
    ... in front of the current new player guide. All events work, all page numbers are correct yet account for one extra at the start. So: chat rules currently resides on page 9, with an extra index page that's obviously going to be 10.

    It's easy to try this for yourself: copy the above, paste it into a command block and activate said command block. Done :cool:
  2. Gonna drop a + .05 on this. That 45 page count needs to be slimmed down to about 10, or it needs to be renamed "Full User Guide."

  3. Uhm... you are aware that this book already exists right? I'm referring to the New Players Guide Book, and my suggestion is basically to add an index page to it.

  4. Haven't been a new player for a while, but I was not aware it had 45 pages to it. If it does,

    [SUGGESTION] Make the New Players Guide Book Shorter

  5. +1 Anything to make things clearer to read and to make it handier for both mods and players to help new players out or reminders to others that seem to think they are not breaking the rules but they clearly are.

    I am all for clarification and easy access to information. +10 after my last sentence.
  6. Didn't even know we had a new players guide.. lol
