And here, god help us, is the new spell dump. The zip file contains my best guess about how to interpret the various fields.
Edi - this really should be part of the database. Let me know what you need in order to interpret it. Updates: I have added the new effect (Internal Alchemy) and the new enchantment (Dance of the Morrigans) from the 310 spells. I have cleaned up the #spec field notes slightly, including figuring out that the extra-field in lightning makes the attack "grounded" - it always hit something in the target square. |

Re: Code diving
Thanks, I'll get to work on those specials and terrain masks as soon as I get home. They should be in the DB by tonight. You are right about the air elemental being a bug, it should be Amber Clan Guard (573) and the site misspellings as well (Sentinent/Sentient and Chaft/Shaft). I've got those shortlisted in the beta forum, but having the level of detail from your code diving efforts is invaluable.
I'll look at the spell issue, but if it gets added, it gets added in a separate document, because the current DB file is starting to get REALLY unwieldy and that's on my state-of-the-art-as-of-this-time-last-year system. The spell system has too much stuff and requires too many pages, so it must be separate. |
Re: Code diving
I noticed another (minor, this time) mistake in the output file for the sites. It's been fixed.
The accompanying text file has been slightly updated to include: effect 10111 (internal alchemy) enchantment #86 (dance of the morrigans) |
Re: Code diving
The sites output file attached to the explanation post still has some errors:

Re: Code diving
Redownload the attachment, I think I fixed all that http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Code diving
Actually, you didn't. Doesn't matter, I can easily work with this since I've got most of the things down, the things I don't wil stick out like a sore thumb.

Re: Code diving
Aaaaand it's done! Sites have been fully updated with terrain masks, levels and specials! Thank you, DrPraetorious! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Code diving
I must've uploaded the wrong attachment or failed to overwrite it or something, but if it's not a problem it's not a problem.
I'm perfectly happy to make the spell-list nice myself, but do not know how to do it. Can you suggest a tutorial on how to make dependent sheets and list lookups as is done in the main guidebook? It's a useful thing for me to know anyway. |
Re: Code diving
The spell list as such seems just fine, I can actually read most of it fairly well. In order to make the thing more readable, to create the kind of display pages the Dom3 DB has for units, you actually need to have the whole main page roughly as it is right now. Basically, that's your BaseS page.
Then you need a separate page which lists Effects, which would be BaseE, a list of Powers, which would be BaseP and possibly also a list of Arguments, which would be BaseA, but that depends on whether the argument values are fixed. I know there are some effect lists lying around, which could help in this. Once you have all of that together, all you need for the display page is list the spell numbers in the ID column and everything else is retrieved from the Base tables by VLOOKUP functions. Some of those might even need to be conditional, but I don't think so, not in the same way they are in the unit DB. This project would be big enough that it'd need to be a separate document, so it could be called Dom3 Spell DB, I guess. If anyone can get me a half-decent list of the basic effects, just copying the id# and name columns from the BaseU, BaseW and BaseA tables of Dom3DB would give me enough to work with to get a rudimentary legible spell DB ready at a pretty short notice. |
