Spell Guide Beta-0

[Snoddasmannen]

Hi everybody, my first post here!

Thanks for the list DrPraetorious! I had some fun with it and webalized it, hope you won't mind. I wanted a way to figure out what spells my mages could cast given their magic levels. So I put (parts of) your list in an sql database, and then designed a web interface to ask exactly that question.

I took the opportunity to play around with some new web technologies, so I ended up using lots of buzzwords: XML, XMLHttpRequest, client side XSLT/XPath and so on. Very Web 2.0

Unfortunately it only works in Opera (9.5) at the moment. Firefox complains about an XSLT error which I haven't had time to investigate. It's also possible that it works in Safari or new Konquerors. I don't think IE supports anything remotely similar to what I'm using.

Even more unfortunately I can't actually put it out on the web yet since I don't have a host with PHP5, and I don't want to rewrite the DOM/XML generation stuff for PHP4. Hopefully I can nag them to upgrade their PHP soon enough.

But anyway I'll try to attach a screenshot of my prototype here if I can figure out how.

I also wanted to ask a related question. I noticed that all this spell data is (probably) extracted from the binaries, where they are all nicely listed with all their properties. Now, I wanted my list to also include all forgeable items, but I can't find any such lists in the binaries Is such a list available anywhere? Ie: Magic item paired with magic path requisites?

In desperation I even fired up gdb but predictably got nowhere (other than to establish that get_item does something a bit more literal than I had hoped).
