Books (with player made content)

Just created some books!

I have some questions / comments. Would be nice to hear from the devs but perhaps the community can help to answer.


Questions:

• What file types are allowed?
  • I got .txt to work. Haven't tried anything else.
• What character sets are allowed?
  • single and double quotes, plus the elipses, used on the forums did not render well in-game
• Is there input validation?
  • I would like to test this but would rather not. Especially not in a live / online environment, or without authorisation.
  • Probably best to handle some of this client side too.

Comments:

• I used a simple .txt that I copied and pasted from the forums. Some characters didn't render. The characters: single and double quotes, plus the elipses, used on the forums did not render well in-game. They can be easily replaced with find and replace of course but would be good to know the reason: not all character sets are enabled?
• Seeing my story in-game is rewarding.
• When you trade a book it says "book for writing in" in the chat box.
• Buying books is slow. Can only buy one at a time
• Seeing blank books in the book sellers list was a bit confusing at first. Perhaps this is future content?
• The title page on the left should be grander! The title should stick out more too (is quite small)

I had the same problem pasting from google docs, had to do a find and replace on all quotation marks, apostrophes and ellipsis. Otherwise I loved the formatting on the books, I've tested with 5 of my stories, making multiple copies to hand out to my friends. Great suggestion on the larger title, we've got a blank page on the left which would be a great place to put the title, author and perhaps a date. Definitely would be useful to purchase more than one at a time!
