Default Mod ID Registry: Preventing Mod Conflicts

Separate from the work of Edi and Sombre, I thought it would be useful to have a centralized record of which mods are using which unique IDs for monsters, items, weapons, spells, etc. Right now, everybody has to pick IDs at random and hope there isn't a noticable conflict if more than one mod is installed at a time.

I propose that this thread is used to share a spreadsheet of ID registries used by Dominions 3 mods. Whenever a mod author adds items or monsters, they can download the most recent copy, add their changes, and upload it to another post within this thread.

Hopefully, this thread and the registry will then be self-maintaining.
  • Please save the registry as a Microsoft Excel 97 spreadsheet, so both Excel and OpenOffice can open it.
  • If you discover an unintentional conflict, please contact the author(s) and work out among yourselves which mod should reassign their Ids. In general, let's give preference to mod seniority (eg, whomever posted their mod to the Forums first).
  • Where there is an intentional conflict, such as a balance mod that re-writes a monster or item's attributes, please provide some indication in the "notes" field (eg., "rewrite")
  • Before uploading/posting, make sure that you have downloaded the most recent version of this file. It is possible for other people to have downloaded a copy,
    made changes, and uploaded their changes to this registry before you yourself have gotten around to uploading!


NOTE: PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE REGISTRY ONLY FROM THE LAST/MOST RECENT POST!
