Spell/Item Database App
 
I'd like to bounce a project my friend is working on off of anyone willing to give feedback.

He's building a searchable database for spells and items. When finished, one should be able to type in research level and/or magic paths, and find all associated spells and items.

It's in the beginning stages now, but is looking pretty functional. Would you find this useful? Is there already something like this? Any suggestions for handy features?

Thanks, I know he'll appreciate any feedback.

The closest thing for items is the BaseI page of the Dom3 DB. For spells, DrPraetorious has made a spell modding guide which has a list of all spell names, numbers and effects. They are not in a searchable DB format, though, just spreadsheets.

Whether the Dom3 DB of units, nations etc will appear as a searchable DB depends on how much help I can get with it, but that prospect has been on the table a few times in the past and may be so in the future.

Dominions II Grimoire http://www.sangster.org/dominions/grimorie.php was quite nice tool.

There have been fan-made (sometimes printable) pdf guides with color codes for showing various items for both DomII and Dom3. I can't give you any links, but hopefully someone can provide a link. It's nice for seeing what you can forge with spesific paths, but you can't easily compare different ways to achieve things. Item guide in which you can search for e.g. items that grant lightning resistance and/or immunity, or for items that grant reinvigoration - that would be very nice.

Sure. Stuff like this was introduced a number of times by different people - check Endo's link. Since I don't suppose that your friend wants to build this for all the platforms that Dom3 supports (Win, Linux, Mac) I suggest that he makes a web app out of this. And give it a nice interface. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Web app might be doeable. Thanks for all the input, guys. We'll probably release an early version within a few weeks.

Oooh, I made one of those once:

http://www2.onyx.nu/pb/dom3/spells.html

It's not very cross-browser compatible though, only works in Opera and FF, effectively excluding some 75% of the community http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Plus it doesn't have forgeable items in it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Wow Snoddasmannen, that's sensational! Can't believe you never mentioned it/I never heard about it before.

I know that I've seen it before, but I must admit that I forgot about it, too. Looking back at the thread I'm amazed about how much replies I gave to it not too long ago, and I still forgot everything about it. Time flies...

Snoddasmannen still gets bonus bogo points from me for doing something which is XML/XSLT based. That's very cool in my book.

Snoddasmannen ... you should add this link into your signature.

Also one question... any other tools ?
