Thank you kindly. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

That information will be added to the next DB update, which will happen as soon as I get the site analysis sorted out.

Re: Dom3 Database - v3.10
 

New to game (still waiting for game in mail) and was wondering where do these file go? In the mod directory?
thx

Re: Dom3 Database - v3.10
 

These files are not actually part of the game - you put them in your documents folder, open them up and read them as a supplement to the information in the manual.

The manual is actually pretty good but this info is exhaustive.

Edi:

In the magic site list, there's a column labelled "adventure" after "scry". What does it mean? It's not in the glossary.

Re: Dom3 Database - v3.10
 

Ah, that. There are two sites where you can enter for adventure and get strange (and usually fatal) effects. The City of the Damned and The Forgotten City allow this. When a commander enters, anywhere between 0 and 8 effects happen to him. Most of those things are getting hit by falling axes, crossbow bolts, arrows, ballista bolts, falling rocks or other assorted Indiana Jones type traps, or he may be attacked by horrors, certain Void beings, shadows, shades, ghosts or skeletal warriors. Very quick way to gain experience if the commander survives, but the afflictions start piling up really fast.

Potential rewards (you get a reward maybe 20% of the time) are gold, magic gems and magic items. Perhaps something else as well, but I haven't tested it that much. I suppose I should put a site testing game up just for that and put some big, durable commander into both sites.

Re: Dom3 Database - v3.10
 

It's very difficult to survive and more difficult to find something good. It's also possible to recieve a unique item which already exists... thus two unique items. I recently found 2805 gold from one discovery... yet these are rare.

I haven't battled any void creatures or horrors as a result of the magic site. (45 explorations so far)

Re: Dom3 Database - v3.10
 

My memory could be playing tricks on me with the Void being stuff, but I did get a lesser horror attack from the Forgotten City once. The Spectral Mage handily fried it.

Cannot find Thunder Bow in database, 3.10 RC-1

Whats the dif between the weapons and base weapons page, btw? Is it displaying the same information two different ways, or are they fundamentally different?

I can find Staff of Storms in 'BaseW', but not in 'Weapons', for instance.

Also, the entry for Spirit Helmet may be incomplete, lacking special effect?

Re: Dom3 Database - v3.10
 

The difference in BaseW and Weapons is that the latter retrieves date from BaseW and formats it, making it easier to read since you don't have a dozen zeroes on every row.

Where were you looking for the Thunder Bow? It only appears in the BaseI page, since Thunder Bow is the name of the item. The actual weapon granted by the Thunder Bow is Lightning. There is no weapon named "Thunder Bow".

Staff of Storms, are you sure? I need to check that one out. BaseW is sorted by number, Weapons is sorted by name.

What effect is spirit helmet missing? It does have a combat autocast every turn entry for Lightning Bolt.

Maybe I'm just reading it wrong? Well, I've been suffering from insomnia too long, and am not going to worry about it any more tonight. If you'd like to see the results of my insomnia, check out this.

The database contains a lot of data, and has been a big help. Thanks.

It really didn't mean much to me, though, until I put together this little project. Hope it's of interest to someone. It really made me re-evaluate the pathetic 'seeming' Lightning Spear.

The actual gathering of data from the game didn't take too long, thanks to my fast typing skills. But the use policy regarding game text, and figuring out my first wiki page - how to even create it was a challenge, though one with a ridiculously simple answer.
