FS#1470 - It is not possible to change content of books
The GMs *need* a way to modify content of books!

concidering that gms and devs cant spawn books i dont see why they should be able to modify them. the only way a gm or dev can get access to a players book is by taking it from them.
Why wouldn't GMs and Devs be able to spawn personalised books? It could be handy, otherwise they would have to buy them, which is a useless step. Modifying could be useful as well in the case an otherwisely good player book has some OOC info added to it. Besides that, Kerol could provide some cases where he thinks this would be useful, so Talad can decide better to give the okay or not.
personalized books end of story written by a player or sold by jayose cant be spawned
At the testing department, the story only begins. It does not end.

Prohibit GM spawning personalised items
Seems like an issue for the devs to look into
I suggest Kerol finds a way to convince us this should move from 'feature request' to something to be implemented (and a dev to do so. THat always helps ;) )
Acissej what do you think of this request? also lowering severity/priority as this is not a crashing issue
If there is a *need* this can be done. But it *has* to be done in the same way a player purchases a blank book; i.e. it will be unique, assigned a new item_stats record, with a unique "book of fred-the-GM" title, and only ever singularly: its not a simple spawn like for other items. Same applies to blank sketches (maps).
Sounds like it is OK to leave this as a feature request until Acraig or Talad can decide if this needs implemented or not. I suggest Kerol and/or acissej find that out if there is some hurry with this ;)
gm can actually spawn whatever book they desire including personalized items and they can see them when spawned (if the player updates his copy the other get updated too). This could be implemented by lifting the limitation which is now only a formal one
fixed
Doesn't seem to work:
- bought a blank book with a player, modified it and dropped it
- picked the book with a GM, tried to modify it and all I got was 'write all not found in any group' when right clicking on the book.
the permission is not set in my server
Verify whether or not this works.
I have never seen this work, but I know support is there, I guess it was just never turned on. Perhaps get Talad to activate it so we can test.
