FS#6240 - Book use commands mess
For crafting book /use command equips book in mind slot - and it’s OK, I think.
But how to open crafting book for reading, as of RMB click in inventory?
Then dragging a book from inventory to shortcut window, /use command is created.
But /use command for common book just results in a book, equiped in righthand slot (in case it’s empty).
Book isn’t opened for reading nor writing, so where is no result of using it. So no /use…
After equipping a common book in a hand slot, /use [slot-name] command just kills the psclient… This one really unexpected :(
/write [item-name] command syntax not working on a writable book, resulting message is: “You cannot write on this item” -
but this syntax described in a Help window! And /write [slot-name] syntax works as expected.
I think it’s clear that /read command for a books must exist to make complete set. Some use cases:
* want to read any book - use /read [item-name] or /read [slot-name]
* want to write to a writable book - use /write [item-name] or /write [slot-name]
* want to equip / dequip any book - use /equip and /dequip commands
Sane default results for /use command:
* Crafting book - equip in a mind slot.
It's a reference book, to take a look from time to time in a crafting process, after all.
* Common book and writable book - open book reading window. Using a book in a real world means “read it”.
Other "uses" (as a blunt weapon, fuel, press-papier, etc.) are less common.
