Default Re: Spells & Items browser

about having more info on spells (specially summons) and items, the point is valid yet my main issue is "where to found data ?".
I mean I wont spend hours to look in the manual and type it by hand.
If some of you know where I can get those, I may have a look. But this look likes quite long work to make a model that would fit all units, spells, effects, ...
(and once this is done I would be close from having a full dominions 3 in java ^^ - exageration)


Nationnal spells informations is available, but I found no way to exploit it simply (and the main goal was to be simple) :
- I cannot change font color in the list
- If I list the nations in the spell details it sometimes looks horrible (some spells have 9 nations attached to them, which is quite a long text to display).
- I could add a nation list and allow filters on it, this is 'almost done' already.

About items, I also retrieve the 'effects' information from the wiki, yet I found it hard to use. The list is quite long, some effects are not that clear. I already made a filter on effects too, which is not visible here.
Effects need some clarification in their classification, which is not as easy as it seems.

About linux support: I dont know why the latest change cause issues (I should have waited for your last answer Lch...). I'll have a look for it.
