Hi all
As some of you may already be aware several members of CD have spent the last few months building a workable reference database to accompany the game.
We have now reached the point where the main design work and testing is completed and we are ready to 'announce it' as such.
The database allows you to search the following
Every result is drillable (example - you can go from a finished product down into each subcomponent until you hit a raw resource)
- Resources and Crafted Items
- Equipment
- Spells
- Formulas
- Techniques and Technique Components
- Buildings (Biped and Dragon)
All the different types of 'items' within the database are linked to each other.
For example
Link to database
- Craftable Items will show their components, formulas and available techniques
- Resources will show what products they can be used in.
- Techniques will show any conflicts and tech comps
- Formulas will show available products
- Tech Comps will show all techniques and crafted items they are used in
- Spells and Equipment can be searched by school
--removed link--
Now that it is up and running we are going to continue to develop it further and add more data. The next part we are looking at is importing the new map pack (Version 4) so we can add NPC's, resources, mobs etc.
Another possible future extension is to look at how we can use the database to update HCC (we haven't got any further than a rough outline of what would need to be done to achieve this).
Anyway I hope you find it useful and comments and suggestions are welcome.
