Rez the book and clic cover to open it. Then clic a page to flip it. The book close when you clic the backcover or cover so be carefull not to clic too fast as the pages take a short instant before appearing.
How to make my own book?
**********************
You need to have textures for the pages, one for each. Your textures should all have same width per height ratio, or some will look flattened and other too long. Also, the textures must be copy modify transfer permissions or the script cannot work.
You have two choice for texture naming, edit the Settings notecard to choose:
- Numerical
In this mode, texture must be named page1 page2 page3 etc. Put this in the Settings notecard to use it (no spaces):
PageNaming:numerical
- Alphabetical
In this mode, textures are put into pages in alphabetical order, to use it put this in the Settings notecard (no spaces):
PageNaming:alphabetical
Drop the textures in the book inventory ; to do that, right-click the book, select edit then "more>>" and then the Content tab. Then you can drag-drop the textures. And it should work.
You can add one comment per page, to do this edit the Comments Notecard that is included in the book. One line per page. After you change comment, close the book and open the "axe" script and reset it so the book read them again.
You can resize the book to accomodate the aspect ratio (width/height) of your pictures.
To change the cover and backcover, use SL building tools to change their texture (anybody who build a bit can show you if you don't know how).
