Tj,

     Having used UniqueBible by Eliran Wong, I believe that he creates e-Sword modules with added Strong's numbers by approaching the problem from a different direction.  My greatly over-simplified explanation of how this method appears to work is:

 

Decide which Greek and/or Hebrew your Bible version will be based on.

 

Create a database index in numerical order for each Greek and/or Hebrew word, starting in Genesis 1 and/or Matthew 1 as entry 000001.

 

Add the correct Strong's Number to the database as a record for each Greek and/or Hebrew word indexed.

 

Finally add the English language translation as another record for each Greek and/or Hebrew word indexed.

 

Take for example a database starting with Matthew 1:1.  The Index and records would start out looking something like this:

 

000001    Βίβλος   G976   [The] book

 

000002    γενέσεως  G1078    of [the] genealogy

 

000003    Ἰησοῦ   G2424   of Jesus

 

000004    Χριστοῦ   G5547     Christ

 

The numerical index doesn't change.  The Greek word order doesn't change.  The Strong's numbers don't change.  The only thing that really changes is your English translation.  You don't need to completely re-invent the wheel as you can reuse open source data that is already out on the Internet.  You may choose to combine some Strong's numbers to make better sense in English, for example the word "throughout" in the verse below has both H5704 and H7097 Strong's numbers:

 

Psa 46:9  He brings an end to H7673 wars H4421 throughout H5704 H7097 the earth H776; he shatters H7665 the bow H7198 and breaks H7112 the spear H2595; he burns H8313 the shields with fire H784. 

 

The programs that you can use to manipulate the data could vary.  Notepad++ is quite powerful and accepts regex expressions.  Microsoft Excel with .csv files may be useful.  Probably want to finish the module using DB Browser for SQLite

 

I'm not saying that any of this is easy or fast, or that I'm an expert.  I'm just saying that if you want to get to the finish line, this may be a way to go about it.

I have looked and Eliran's e-Sword modules using DB Browser but they are not set up the way you outlined. 

Do you think Rick misunderstood your email?

I used the contact form on esword.net to contact rick and he responded with the email above, my question was straight forward so I doubt he misunderstood

So Rick did not give you the answer you expected?

 

Did you get a reply from Josh?

I have not heard from Josh and Rick's answer is what i previously post

Can anyone else reproduce a weird problem with the Android version of eSword and/or advise a solution?

Try as I might, I cannot permanently delete the pre-installed FB Meyer commentary from the Android version. Every time it appears to be successfully deleted, after a restart of eSword it's back.

I use eSword on Mac and iOS, neither of which exhibit this issue.

Any ideas?

It needs to be there in order for the Android version to work correctly, just like the Windows version requires both the KJV and KJV+ bible modules to work correctly 

I have run this app on PC #1 for years then this error popped up.  At the time ToolTip was not installed and installing it had no effect.  I grew tired of the issue and installed it on a Hyper V PC running same OS.  Works fine.  I will probably end up using something like ccleaner to scrub the registry

 

Thanks guys

It has to due with recent modules created using one of the last two releases of Tooltip NT which use newer text controls. So if a module has been created using one of the those two releases, e-Sword is looking for the one of the newer text control dll files

I was able to transfer my Android Table Bookmarks.Isti to Dropbook and download to my Android Phone. But I can't find the E-sword folder on my phone to transfer the bookmarks.lsit to.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

You need to use the e-Sword for Android import function to move the file into the e-Sword folder. 

Hi, All.  Is there a possibility for a Besorah Of Yahusha Natsarim Version (BYNV) module?

 

Thank you

As that is a copyrighted work the copyright holder would have to grant permission for a module to be made

Hi. I did what you suggested, and it shows up in the file menu now, but but the topic notes remains blank. Maybe I downloaded the wrong file from biblesupport, I'll have to check.

Thank you.
 

Try looking for the module in the e-Sword Resource Library it may show up there

Hi I'm new to this forum.

I'm a missionary/pastor and author.  I've written several books for training pastors overseas as well as stateside.

I try to make these available for free for believers everywhere.  I've recently written a book about the story and purpose of Satan from the Bible; it's called: God's "servant" Satan and it has been well received by hundreds of Christian workers around the world.  I've been challenged to also make it available for free through the Esword community but I don't have the ability/ know-how to create that module.  I'm looking for someone who could take the digital document and convert it for me. If you are willing to convert it for me, could you please contact me via message or comment.

FYI: I already have copies in Word,  PDF, RTF and epub formats with chapter headings and links built in.

Blessings!

Can you post some details about the book such as length, number of chapters and any copyright issues.

Making a module should be fairly easy to accomplish 

Hi Higgsy,

Remember this tip?

Now, if he has a "quick" method, I'm certain he will share it with you. It'll save you pulling your hair out (that's if you have any ) trying to figure it out.

 

Remember the old adage, "You'll never know unless you give it a go." So, ask him. It won't cost you anything. Fair dinkum, mate.

 

Blessings,

I contacted  Rick Meyers and here is his response:

"There are quite a few of these Bibles on the user group, so I suppose you could crack one open and have a look.

I am not having much luck with finding away to create bibles with Strong's Number's. 

I have tried a few macros with Open Office Writer but have had no luck, I have also checked out a number of Find and Replace software programs with no luck. 

Hopefully I will hit on something 

Higgsy,

The NIV and Amplified Bibles are locked resources, and cannot be converted using Simple Bible Reader. Moreover, when you give advice like this (as much as I hate saying this), you're, ummm, condoning a criminal activity . Naughty boy!!!

 

Blessings,

I just did a test Simple Bible Reader will read and convert both bible modules, the lock on the modules only prevents programs such as Tooltip and the e-Sword Module Converter from reading them. 

Have been hard trying to find some great Bible versions that do work well with Mysword Bible

Older forum threads here shows that it is a copyright issue. So I don't know if that is still the case today.

If you have the e-Sword versions either of those they can be converted for MySword using Simple Bible Reader

The file TX27_WND.DLL is specific to the following version of e-Sword Tooltip NT: Version 2019.1007, this version was released on 10/07/2019. The file is the text control file used by Tooltip NT in creating modules. It was replaced with TX28_WND.DLL in November 2019 with the release of the following version of Tooltip: Version 2020/04/11 which was released on November 11, 2019. 

According to the Tooltip download page here on Bible Support, the two versions of Tooltip mentioned above are compatible with e-Sword versions 12 and 13 only. 

Both of the DLL files seem have bugs that cause problems with e-Sword for Windows

If you are already using e-Sword versions 12 or 13 then try the following:

Uninstall e-Sword Tooltip NT
After the uninstall check to see if either of the Tooltip folders remain one of these folders is located in the Program Files (x86) folder and the other is located in Documents folder. If either folder remains manually delete them. 
Download the following version of e-Sword Tooltip NT from here on Bible Support: 

• Version 2019.0818 08/18/2019 Note: This version is one of the three versions available on the Tooltip download page.

Install this version of Tooltip NT. Note this version will install TX24_WND.DLL which e-Sword 12 and 13 should not have any issues with. 

 

Two new versions of Simple Bible Reader have been released the new versions are version 5.4.7 and 5.4.8

Here are the changes and or updates in these new releases:
 

Release Notes – 5.4.8

• Button to save plugin.

• Bugfixes in dictionary plugin parsing.

Release Notes – 5.4.7

• Bugfixes in BBLI Bible format (thanks to Ngon Cyrille)
• Experimental options – persistent preferences i.e, save/load prefs from file.
