Spreadsheets or Tables?

[DavidMedley]

Are there spreadsheets or tables out there with racial, class, spell data etc? I suspect these are annoying to maintain and so there's a "the code is the documentation" approach, but I'd be glad to be proved wrong :-)

In particular, I was interested in looking at the new classes.

The manual has some tables, at least for races and classes.

Here's a Start

This is far from complete. I've turned on "anyone can edit" in case people want to add to it.

If I were really a badass I'd write something that would parse the data files into this instead of doing it manually...

If you want to do this right, add an option to the knowledge menu to 'dump all lore', and allow it as verbose or tabular.
Then add class, spell, and race data as options in the knowledge menu parent,so along with suitable lore, display, and comparator functions.

is there a way to permalink those googledocs?

[DavidMedley]

Isn't what I provided a permalink?

[Sky]

uh .. yeah but this thread will be lost to infinity. I mean PERMA link.

You want them linked on a website somewhere? Whose website should they go on?

[Sky]

no i mean here on oook. we could add a page for resources.

[Derakon]

oook is a website. But OK, you answered my question anyway!

Do you have much left to fill in for this? I wrote a semi-functional parser for the room template file as a learning exercise. This would be a neat project.

I completely imported class.txt (only 2 classes full spell list), race.txt, projection.txt, dug a bunch of effects and all the attribute bonuses (STR, DEX, etc) out of the code. That's it.

If you google "Angband 4.2 spreadsheet" this comes up as the first result now
