The Book script flips the pages of a book or card on touch - from the first to the last
page and also backwards when you click on the already open pages. It contains a rotation
drift workaround, so that your pages remain in the same place. The book is usable by
everyone, not just the owner. The script assumes the root prim of the book is its spine
and there's one prim for each page. You can have as many pages as you want. With just two
pages, you can create a card for season greetings, invitations, congratulations etc. The
package contains a simple example book with four pages.
On first touch after the book or card was rezzed, it can optionally give a folder with
its contents (without the script, of course). So you can include a landmark or notecard
or a little gift which can be useful in an invitation or card. This only works for owner.
To create your own book, make the spine of the book the root prim and put the script in
there. Then add your pages and name each of them according to their page number, e.g. "1"
for the first page, "2" for the second page and so on (without the quotes). Link them all
together with the spine and you have a working book. The pages all need to be oriented
the same, so it's best to create one and duplicate the others.
You can configure the flip axis and the offset of the pages center to the book's back
(the root prim) manually or let the script try to determine them automatically. For
automatic detection, set AXIS and OFFSETS to ZERO_VECTOR; if that doesn't work, please
configure them manually: AXIS usually should be <0, 0, 1> (standing upright), unless you
rotated the book's back; OFFSETS should have 0.5 or -0.5 as one coordinate (i.e. half the
page size), depending on page orientation, and the others have to be 0.0. You can also
adjust the OPEN_ANGLE of the book (in degrees) and whether it should OPEN_BOTH_SIDES or
only the front side.
The Book script is full perm, so it can be adapted to your needs and requirements. It's
licensed under the BSD license with the addition that it must not be resold or otherwise
given away standalone in parts or as whole. It can be used in your creations as long as
these license conditions are met.

Exellent!
The script is very nicely made and the support was fast and correct! I will not hesitate to buy from this seller in the future. I just needed a little tweak and got help straight away.
Thank you!
quality is pretty rare these days
I genuinely can't say enough great things about this script and its creator. The script is -beautiful- and clean, and when I needed a small emergency script modification for my Storytime event Shui was there to give me a solution in no time. I recommend checking out his other work as well — the in-world store is a lot more fun to browse than the MP.
As for the script itself, I too had some trouble making my own book at first, until I took the example one apart and replicated it with my own prims. Did you know those "C" and "P" buttons to the right of the rotation/scale/position buttons in the Edit window actually mean "copy" and "paste"? You can pretty easily create your own exact copy of the original book that doesn't require you to adjust the numerical values at all.
If you buy it and you like using it, leave a fair review. Thank you, Shui! I'm a loyal customer now.
Yay!
Glad i finally found the ONE and ONLY flip-page script on MP!
For everyone with issues how to make this, it took me a while to make it work, but the form of the back side of the book is most important: make sure you take a cylinder form and use path cut to make it a Hemicylinder: this is most important to make it work!
I rezzed the example book and rebuild each part exactly like the example, only that makes it work!
If anyone likes an example or instructions in-world, hit me up, im glad to help, especially when frustrated (i was a little frustrated too) \o/ so happy now :) big thank you to the seller! <3
Easy to build inworld a book!
Many Thanks for this great Set - it is easy to build a book inworld in Second Life. I make it for a child as a gift and i think she will be very happy!
5 honest stars for this Product!
strange effects
The sample book is uge, and stands. Building your own, with smaller pages, or lay down to put on a table, gives the most strange effects (pages fliping down, etc). Basically, the only way it works is when you go for the sample book. Changing script didnt accomplish anything to me.
The book is not well made. Flipping a page makes it stick out. Not worth the 149L$
То что я искала
Это именно то, что я искала. Единственное, что тяжело разобраться в этом.
