I have this addon since 15 minutes and it is now one of my favs *g*

But one small thing could be better, i think.
On the "Details"-page of the books stands (e.g.) "Found in Stormwind" or something like that.
In the Bookworm.lua is also saved "Der Park". Could you add this information to the details? For example: "Found in Stormwind: The Park" or so...

Would be very great.

(PS: excuse my bad english, not my best *g*)

I converted my old data with Rinkakas tool. I just had to install .net Framework 2.0 first

Now the European servers are down, so I cannot check if everything went fine. Anyways, I am prepared to share my old data with anybody who lost the old data. I use the German client.

Ich habe mit Hilfe von Rinkakas Tool meine alten Bookworm-Daten konvertiert. Da die Server zur Zeit offline sind, kann ich leider nicht sagen ob alles gut gegangen ist.
Falls alles ok ist, bin ich gerne bereit meine Bookworm.Lua-Datei mit Interessierten zu teilen, die ihre Daten verloren haben.

I was able to convert my old Bookwormdatafile successfully with Rinkake's tool. It even works after todays patch. Thank you very much, Rinkake!!!
Since having collected almost all books in Azeroth during the past about two years with the help of Bookworm, it would have been just too bad, if all my data would have been lost.

If anybody is interested in my German (!) data file, please let me know.

Ps.: Why can't I edit my recent post?

Unfortunately the tool didn't work for me I lost my entire Bookworm set of books (and am still quite POed about it) and am trying to at least restore a 1-year-old backup. But the tool doesn't seem to do anything. I get the same exact errors.

You can just open your saved file in Notepad and go through and look for the places where "\n" starts a new line, like:

line of text from book
\n
next line of text

and delete the linebreaks so it looks like:

line of text from book\nnext line of text

The linebreaks in the file are what's causing the problem.

Hmm, seems 2.0.6 is making Bookworm out-of-date again

check "Load out of date Addons"(right-up corner of Addon List window).
Bookworm works without trouble

Doh! I thought I had it checked! Thanks, that did it :P

I haven't been able to use bookworm in a long while now. I get the in chat messages that bookworm is saving each page of the book, but when I go back to read it later it has just blank pages.

Any ideas?

Very nice addon. I hope 2.1 doesn't break it

Now Im think of how long will it take me to get all the book now

This still works in version 2.3 and I love it.

Iriel, there used to be a Titan plugin for this addon, but it doesn't work anymore. Any chance of getting it updated?

*sigh*

I should have found it years ago... this would have been fun!

Now I have to grind azeroth again to find all the books around... or is there a publicly available collection of books to download? I'll take it! LOL!

I love these little story-telling items in the game!
Thank you for this addon!!

This being updated for WOTLK would be great.

I love this mod and have used it since about as long as I can remember. A few years back there was a program called Bookworm Extractor that would scan your bookworm.lua file and convert all your books into text files. I loved it, but I no longer have it, and I can't find it anywhere! Would you happen to have this little program, or perhaps create a new one for it?

Secondly, that FixBookwormlua program sounds very nifty. I have a few books from an old pre-TBC that I don't think I'll ever re-read again, and I'd love to convert that file over and see what was in it if its still at all available.

Thanks VERY MUCH for the creation and continued support for this addon!
