Envelopes

The emblem is already rendered on the stamper anyway. The way this mod prevents forgery is by having the ID and the emblem name shown on the envelope. This is an UI solution, I know, but it works fine 

the only issue that comes up with the grid-view hud idea, is that anyone could "look" at the seal, and then copy it from there with a screenshot or just looking repeatedly.
some things i can think of;

1) somehow make it smooth out, instead of showing the exact grid that you use to make the seal. this makes it harder to exactly copy it, without spending a lot of effort on it. probably really difficult.

2) make each pattern exclusive, and the forger is forced to add a flaw or difference in.  probably hard as well, figuring out how to store and check against current patterns.

3) or, more ridiculous and complicated, wax can be different ratios of color. so a person can have a specific shade that they use, plus the seal. this would give forgers a run for their money. but code wise, probably complicated.

   perhaps , instead of dying wax before hand, it can be selected (hex?) when the stamp seal is made/carved?

Good idea, VixTetsuri

I've gotten an idea for the "stamp render" SiiMeR. Since you have the hud for making stamp molds, why not show it (in the wax's color) when going to open the envelope, just uneditable and all? That way they can see the accurate pressing of wax since that would be in your view when going to open the envelope in the first place.

Yes, they are not currently rendered. The technology is not there yet, but I will work on it at one point MightyFox

So are the stamps currently not viewable on the sealed wax envelopes? I cannot get it to work no matter which stamp i use, its always just a solid block of wax on the envelope.

no crash

Sorry for taking so long to respond SiiMeR.

Seems like the bug is fixed for me! I'll let you know if I find any further issues, I tested the creative menu as well and had no crash there.

Can you try v2.0.2 and report if it is fixed? Dr_Jekylle Rexxia Matsan

When I press H to open the Handbook entry for sticks, my game crashes. Says main culprit is Envelopes.

Here's the crash log:

SiiMeR can confirm what Dr_Jekylle said with the creative menu crashing

SiiMeR I just opened this mod's tab in the Creative menu and the game crashed. I am on version 1.21.0. The crash message said something went wrong in the package Envelopes. Thank you for your hard work, btw. Cheers.

Of course 💖 Annastasija

Will you be updating my favorite mod? <3

SiiMeR After Looking at the mod's JSON, I think I understand now. the mod only adds the envelope item, and doesn't add the paper writing, that's inside the base game.

Thanks!

That would be some other mod that would do it. It is not in the scope of this mod captanredbeard

When you sign the paper, it adds the "written by" tag to the item description. Would it be possible to add a similar feature but with the first few lines or so of the letter followed by ... and it updates when the save or the sign button is pressed, just like the sign function.

an example might be

"

Title: Salutatations from Jamestown

Dear Mrs. Smith, I have arrived at jamestown, it's been quire rainy since I have landed....
"

and to read the full contents you click the parchment like you do currently, but you get the first few lines from the item hover description.

Can't seem to get the write from/to menu to open up, following the guide exactly..
EDIT: I had to hold shift + the sprint keybind + right click The guide leaves out the sprint key info.

Thank you for the woad change!

This is so great for RP servers !

No plans for that as this would be a different process involving ink Pear120

Any plans to add stamping parchment directly? Wanting to make some "official declaration" documents, would be cool to add the wax seal to it to make it properly official. Envelopes are good for delivering to people, but I'm looking to make stamped documents for beaurocratic purposes. Sure, can just sign it, but having the office's official wax stamp on it would be cool.

This is such a cute mod!!

The issue has been fixed in the latest version,thanks for reporting LeoSpades

So, not sure why but everytime I put paper in the envelope and take it out of the crafting grid I crash, and it dupes to envelope with nothing in it when I get back in? Is there any known compabitly issues with other mods anyone knows of?

Awesome! I did see in the notes you were working on that, didn't know if there was a shift-righclick option on the stamp or something that brought the menu back up but locked. I love the attention to detail in this mod, I can't wait to see how it comes along, great work!

SiiMeR

Currently, the design is no longer viewable after creation. 

However, I am currently working on making the design be visibly shown on the stamp itself and on the sealed envelope. It is a bit complicated as I haven't made custom meshes before. At the same time, it is pretty exciting to figure it out slowly.

Is there a way to see the seal after it's been created? Without stamping with it

Hit after hit. Thanks for updating the mod so fast. This'll go a long way to preventing me from sticking my chili recipe into the Senate mailbox.

Yeah, a natural synergy between our mods Crabb

This would go very well with You've Got Mail :D

Absolutely fantastic mod for RP servers, what a treat! I hope this is picked up by a lotta people. c:

Out now Ragolution

Cool! I'm definitely looking forward to it!

I will consider supporting other items (any item really) later on. 

I am currently working on the next version, which will add wax seal stamps with customizable designs. those can be named too. Should help differentiate envelopes.

As for the envelopes themselves, I am considering allowing writing to the back of the envelope (like a To: section)  

Ragolution

Could you add support for other items inside envelopes? For example, Vellum from bookcrafters or perhaps money? A config for this would be cool, too. 😊

Also it's a bit tough to tell them apart, when you have multiple envelopes. Maybe we could write things on the envelopes before they're sealed.

I was confused as to why this mod was, then noted that there were no letters in vanilla.

Doing gods messengers work, keep it up!

Finally something to cram in people's mailboxes with illicit offers for "low rate totally unstolen chickens"

Thank you!

@Juko

@Harark

This will be a wonderful addition to many RP servers. Great work!

As someone who has actively played as a postman in multiple RP communities before, seeing this mod makes me a very happy camper! Keep up the good work!
