Utility: Dom3 Item Forging Reference Project - Updated Feb 18th

[cleveland]

I'm currently putting the finishing touches on a new revision of the Forging Reference.

While it includes corrections to a few errors, I'm excited to announce that this revision will be available through GoogleDocs, Google's online office software suite.

The rationale is that I'd like to extend the Dom3FR beyond the 2 flavors currently availble, namely Vanilla and Conceptual Balance.

GoogleDocs will allow me to grant editing privileges to other modders/community members wishing to create References specific to the countless other outstanding mods available that I don't personally use.

Non-modders will NOT need any sort of Google account to access the References; they'll be viewable just like any webpage.

Here's a sneak preview.

Before it goes to the final press, I'm curious to know what the community thinks of this "collaborative project" approach, and if anyone's interested in contributing...?

Cheers,
cleveland

Nice. There's an easy import for that? Somebody get Edi to do the same with his Dom3 DB...

[Edi]

Sorry, Ich, but not going to happen. Anyone who likes can make a copy of the DB and modify it as they wish to make a CBM version or such, but I'm not going to put it on something like Google docs or whatever else there is.

Seems like it'd be great but it's all... erm, blurry.

[cleveland]

I think Renojustin might be referring to the GoogleDocs version I "sneak previewed" in a recent post:

My browser is displaying it OK, though the italicized entries are admittedly more difficult to read. I think that if I up the font size, it may fix the problem, though that will require some reformatting, so probably not until later this evening.

Thanks for these references Cleveland.

All we need now is a Spell Casting Reference page...

No problem. Actually you've reminded of something I've been meaning to do for quite a while.

I'd like to officially announce that the Dominions 3 Forging Reference is now totally online (direct link is in my sig).

Further, I'd like to officially invite all modders to create their own mod-specific references for inclusion in the project.

My hope is to create a central "hub" where forging references for any mod can be accessed by the community.

If you're a modder (or mod enthusiast) and would like to add to the project, just create a (free) gmail account & PM me your gmail address. GoogleDocs is very straightforward, and you can use what I've posted as a template.

Cheers,
cleveland
