The sysbook package is in reality two halves of a whole books package. The first half provides a way to have blank books for players to write stories, create lists of merchandise or whatever they wish to put in a book. The other half of the sysbook package allows developers to create books containing stories or other written content. The content can be about the shard for background and role-play purposes, guides for various skills or anything you want your players to be able to read in-game. The books created with content or stories can be added to the sysbook library configuration file and to the data file. This package allows you to have these books spawn randomly in bookshelves of your choice. In order for one of these books to spawn in a bookshelf the book must be transferred to the configuration file, books.cfg located in the sysbook config directory. This is the “Master Library”. The books stored in the Master Library cannot be deleted by any command. Once they are added to the Master Library they can be added to the staticbooks data file, the Shard Library. There are commands to add or remove books to, or from, the Shard Library. Elements cannot be deleted from the Master Library by eScript programmes. It must be edited in a text editor. Thus only a developer will be able to delete books from the Master Library. I provide a list of the commands and their descriptions later in this read me file.

A quick note about the Master and Shard Libraries: This was inspired, well more than inspired, suggested, by Nando. So a big thank you to him. The Master Library, as it is for the most part permanent, allows a developer or admin to add books for use at various times of the year or for special events without them spawning in the bookshelves until they are added to the Shard Library. Books in the Master Library cannot be created in-game, either by commands or by the book spawn system. To make a book from the Master Library available in-game it must first be added to the Shard Library. See the sysbook commands section.
