I would be very interested in hosting this. Well actually in Ballbarians account on my server since all his projects are there already.
Anyone who knows any programming language might want to check and see if there are some available modules for accessing an Open Office spreadsheet. And code for tga2jpg or gif or png (I do have imagemagick on the server which can do that quite nicely). That way a web interface could be written to directly use Edi's database, the library of dom3 sprite images, and Ballbarians source files. Updating would be simple when those libraries are updated.
As a lazy alternative, there are a few people who have volunteered to convert loose ideas into turn-in code. If anyone has an idea for a province or god build (we seem to particularly need early and late era gods) then feel free to PM them to me. I might eventually get them done. |
There are Perl modules for both OO parsing and image convertion.
I was planning to use them to expend my map editor by using Edi database, maybe I should start the project again.
