Spell Quick Reference?

[capnq]

Has anybody created a quick reference index for the Grimorie? I'm looking for something that lists the spells alphabetically and crossreferences to their page number in the manual.

I could do it myself, but I was hoping someone else already did.

There is at least the Online-Grimoire, which is linked to in one of the sticky threads...

This is the only Online grimoire I know. Its more of a database front end rather than a quick ref tho.

I have made one in an excel spreadsheet, sorted into broad catagories, with all the text from the book, and hints from some of the sites.

PM me with your email address and I will send it to you to look over as I have not released it or posted it anywhere yet.

I don't have Excel, and don't know how to open a .php file. Guess I'll have to do it myself.

Just FYI, there is a reasonably good free-to-download Office clone available called "Open Office", good for those of us who want to open Microsoft Office documents (the format which almost everyone uses these days) but don't own Office. Of course, free means "provided as is, without support", so it might not be a great download for those "If it goes down I'll lose hundreds of dollars an hour" business computers out there...

BTW, the Excel spreadsheet spell list sounds like a great idea, please do post it in the forums when it is finished!

I tund to use the spell manual addendum on the Sunraybe site.

Are any of these others organized alphabetically by spell name? This is really the best way to organize spell descriptions as it will explain what is happening to you when you are in combat and someone else is casting at you when you are first learning the game.

If you want Open office with support and stuff, you could purchase Star Office it cost Last I've checked $39.95

So far I've had no trouble with OO whatsoever and I find it far superior to the MS Office in user friendliness and customization options. If you configure the thing to do something, or more importantly, to NOT do something, it actually does what it's told instead of ignoring it or resetting to some non-changeable defaults. OO also has a more logically consistent layout, things can be found where they are expected to be found instead of in unrelated or non-intuitive places. It doesn't have quite all the bells and whistles of MS Office, but the average user is never going to need 90% of those anyway.

Unfortunately, both MS Office and OO follow WYSIWYG-philosophy (as opposite to WYWISWYG), which makes things unnecessary complicated. But out of those 2 I'd rather choose OO too. At least you can occasionally get what you want... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

That's exactly what I want it for.

It's taking me longer than expected to type, but I'm working on a simple .rtf file for this.

daesthai has posted an .xls file in this thread (http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/threads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=326111&page=0&view=collap sed&sb=5&o=7&fpart=1).
