OK, after spending the Last few weeks on what is no doubt the most hackneyed piece of spaghetti-code I have put out in years, I am ready to foist it on an unsuspecting world.
This is an Excel-based VBA application that I came up with to help me in an even larger project that I hope to have done in a few months. The code is supposed to provide a semi-user-friendly interface and background database for the modder community.
I’d appreciate it if folks would consider taking a couple cracks at beta testing it (honestly it’s probably closer to alpha than beta, but humor me). I’ve put instructions and a download link up on my web site
HERE.
Secondly, much of the data I used for the lookup tables is taken from Sunray’s extensive but dated work. Thus, the creature lookup is populated with Dom1 data, and of the 1087 available units, I think a little less than half actually have data - the others are just marked as "unknown".
So for the second half of my appeal, I’d like to suggest/beg that people join me in attempting to compile a more complete and comprehensive list. The instructions on how I propose to do that are on the “Extra Credit” section of the site above.
Or, the game designers could just shoot me a data file. That would work too. No? Ah well.
