You can't grep dead trees.

[B0rsuk]

I finished the basic version of necronomicon file. It contains all common spells of all schools (531), but not national ones. Columns: paths(primary first), spell name, research level, research school, battle/ritual.

I tested it with my spellbook script and with the following command:

Code:

---

egrep -v '(F|W|A|E|S|D|N|B)* [^ ]* [0-9] (Conjuration|Alteration|Enchantment|Construction|H  oly|Thaumaturgy|Evocation|Blood_Magic) (battle|ritual)' necronomicon

---

...but it's not a perfect way, I'm afraid. It found two typos (Conuration, Enchantmen) so there could be more. Please report if you find any. It was a very tedious work, and I occasionaly caught myself writing wrong spell levels or battle instead of ritual (or vice versa).

Dust off your regular expression skills and have some fun ! Also check following linux commands: egrep, awk, wc, diff, sort, uniq, cut, cat, and cowsay. The last one is not installed by default.
And don't forget to praise me.

ToDo:
- national spells
- additional columns: number of effects, range, area of effect, duration, underwater/surface/anywhere, spell type, damage, and other boring stuff.

Excellent! Thanks, B0rsuk!

[Uh-Nu-Buh]

I hereby announce to the world that B0rsuk, greatest Hero in the world, slaughterer of the beast, Sorceror of the Necronomicon, is the Prophet of Uh-Nu-Buh.

Good work, my dark jedi.

This will make a lot of people in the mod section happy too, so make sure you post a link to it there as well!!

[UninspiredName]

Are prophets allowed to have such long titles?

[Uh-Nu-Buh]

Mine are. Don't worry, UninspiredName, you can be my next prophet (after B0rsuk gets smashed by one of my numerous enemies on the forum, we'll have to wait a few turns, then I will make the announcement.)

[HoneyBadger]

B0rsuk, to properly honor you, I shall wear the icon you so generously gifted me, just as soon as I get around to equipping it, lazy fat procrastinator that I am.

thank you again!
