Replace Essentails help files, /info, custom messages, rules etc.

[TomLewis]

At present I serve all my custom help pages, information, pre-made books etc through Essentails: http://wiki.mc-ess.net/wiki/Help_Files That page covers it all, I mostly use the custom.txt and create commands to the pages through bukkits commands.yml, this works, but its dated.

You have everything already made to re-implement all of this, formatting for clicking and hover over events, no limit to 9 lines to display information.

I have stuff scattered all around in /info commands, in /customcommands and then I have a separate /help which is the auto generated one based on permissions.

You could make such an amazing new version of all help files & creating custom information using the formatting system in ChatControl pro.

I would want everything under one command, but also have the dynamically generated /help too.

So being able to replace Essentials custom.txt with your Chat system where we can format it too.

from a user perspective the best way to do this would be to create a custom command say /help that redirects to chatcontrols custom index page.

This is how I would format mine: /help - Shows your own formatted index message, so you could have your own commands listed in here and mybe some intro text, that people could click.

/help searchterm, would search for custom pages/tags for custom pages first with that name, then fall back to auto searching for permissions like essentails does

/help commands shows all commands like essentails /help currently does, so this is all automated.

Better idea: Taking that formatting from the configs and instead of displaying that information in the chat, display it in a book when the command is run. Then the user can focus on the book without chat getting pushed when people talk.

Thank you for your suggestion. At present all of our plugins' road-maps are overcrowded so I'll have to prioritize other issues. It honestly seems really neat so I don't want to let it deprecate here for many months like many already suggested features.

Good news is, I will be expanding my staff team this year when I have more resources after I finish some real-life projects.

Pulled to roadmap

Still dont have a team, until MineAcademy kicks gear and I invest into a dev from money earned there it will be on hold

+1 suggestion here, Opening up this information into a live book without giving the person a book, just opens the book interface they can read through help files.
