Reviewed October 6, 2026. This page covers the root, registered subcommands and documented internal actions.
Confirmed aliases: /read. Alias URLs redirect here; each registration retains its own permission.
Registration permissions
| Registration | Handler | Required status (local DB, Oct 6) | Implementation |
|---|---|---|---|
/book |
463 | 0 | Implemented |
/read |
463 | 0 | Implemented |
Read a book from your inventory.
Implementation: Implemented.
Syntax
/book read <inventory_index>
/book <inventory_index> (client version <= 561)
Arguments
Position is zero-based in sep, after a registered database subcommand has been removed. Internal action tokens remain at position 0. Angle brackets are required; square brackets are optional. Alternative forms may change field meanings.
| Position | Argument | Accepted value / type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | action_or_index |
text or integer | read for the general form; numeric inventory index for the classic form. |
| 1 | inventory_index |
integer | Required after read; inventory list index, not a database item ID. |
Behavior and restrictions
- The shorter numeric form is accepted only on clients at version 561 or earlier. /read uses the same current handler.
Current argument/client/target checks (exact source excerpts; branch-dependent):
if(sep->arg[1][0] && strcmp(sep->arg[0], "read") == 0 && sep->IsNumber(1)) {
else if(client->GetVersion() <= 561 && sep->IsNumber(0)) {
Permissions
Local database snapshot, October 6, 2026: /book requires status 0 (handler 463). Other worlds may configure different values.
The dispatcher checks the resolved registration status before invoking the handler. In-handler guild, group, ownership, client-version and target checks still apply.
Examples
The syntax forms above are the source-based invocation examples. Replace identifiers with values valid for your world; client callback fields are supplied by the game client.
