Books: Editable by anyone?

[Velh Krome]

Just wondering.. I recently noticed I could edit books I received from someone else some time ago. Needless to say that its content was authored by that other one.

My question now is: We had that nice feature that others couldn't edit other one's books - Is it gone now in 0.4 again or is there some sort of, no clue, hidden "checkbox" to un-/lock it?

There are two kind of books now. "Public books" are editable by anyone, where normal books can only be edited by their original author.

Oh! Oo
Then old books turned into public books?

However, thats good news, thanks  peeg

So is the book that you buy from an NPC 'normal'?

There are 2 books you can buy a "public book" that all can edit, and a "private book" that only you can edit. All books from the 0.3.19 release [i think] are "public", all books from 0.3.20 release are "private" and today you can pick between the two.

To me it appeared to be a bit random. Some of the old ones I could edit, others I couldnt (means, all books in question were from several other people, while tried to edit with the same char).

But whatever, to have 2 diff sorts of books seems to be a nice addition on first sight - lets hope all will go well
