Re: Dom3 DB: Weapons, Armor & Magic Items
For us M$/Excel users, any chance to have a xls version ?
I suppose that a "save to/export..." exists, it's like 1 min effort  |

For you Excel users:
You can download openoffice for free at:
http://www.openoffice.org/
and use the import/export function.

Re: Dom3 DB: Weapons, Armor & Magic Items
Thanks Edi, I will be very useful.
Note : just found a small error in the armor list. The flame helmet does not five 5 body protection, it give 5 points of untyped protection, meaning that it adds both to head and body (similar to the bonus protection from the bracers of protection)

Re: Dom3 DB: Weapons, Armor & Magic Items
Damn. Missed that. I'll fix it for the next version.
The reason I'm loath to start fiddling with making an Excel version is because Excel doesn't have Boolean values as a ready cell format. Even saving it as an Excel file will not correctly translate the Booleans, so you need to modify the formatting of each column that has them and it's a pain in the arse, especially with different language settings. It'll show things in Finnish when it should preserve the English formatting and otherwise screw things up.
If somebody else wants to do the conversion, be my guest, but I'll rather work on the DB.

Re: Dom3 DB: Weapons, Armor & Magic Items
I'd kinda like to see DB stuff in .csv format (which excel could easily open, although that's a side issue), so that I can parse it in an automated way - specifically, so that I can automatically add mods in the same formatting.
I have some scripts that read mods and produce .csv files - I could try to update them to produce open office file format instead, certainly that is worth considering.
This is more of an issue with the unit DB - my script will have the intelligence to remember the stats of a unit, and then when those stats are *copied*, the script will know to spit out the same stats (unless they are subsequently over-written.)
But this is an issue we can discuss after your DB is finished. Excellent work, Edi!
