Alternatively we could host and extend JEGS.

* Allow players to log on and create / revisit / delete their BICs.

* Players can test against NPCs and other players alike arena style.

* A small html output dump of the character sheet can be generated.

It'd take only a few hours to get that last part setup.

Yeah, demystifying isn't it?

I have no idea what anyone has said so far except the title.

But sounds like its doable, and for people myself, still relative new, and especially new people, this would be a great addition. Trying to make a build currently is impossible without being hand held by 3 people, and even then mistakes are made.

I'd be happy to see a complete listing of the new feats and spells, their in-game effects, pre-reqs, etc.

An actual builder (website) would be awesome.

We have the wiki already though, but it needs updating that is certain (the new spells are there but not all the changes).

a wiki is usefull, but it isn't as good as a builder, honestly I would love a builder too, I really like tinkering with builds until I have one i would like to play and enjoy. and it's easier to keep track of what you want when you lvl up

OK I have started in earnest on this project. It will just be a VB creature that will run in your browser (not on phones, sorry, maybe... someday... *smokes pipe*). The problem is data entry. I need a list of class abilities for each level of each class, and a list of feat prereqs for each feat, these are very long lists and if someone has an easy way of grabbing them, say, with a sql query or something else, that would be great. I intend to have "something" running soon (maybe 2 weeks), but there are things, like saving/exporting your builds and getting each feat popup list to reflect prereqs for the 500 feats will be a work in progress over a long period of time though. Cheers.

Ok, I have "something" up and running on a website, but it isn't ready for a showing. I have sent what I have to some admins. Only the base classes have their class abilities entered. It will be a bit of data entry and coding to get prestige classes working with their prereqs and populating their class abilities. Which I am giving myself another two weeks to finish, along with prestige class caster level progression. since it seems I have less time than I thought I did the last two weeks, the prereqs for general and bonus feats will not be considered until a later date, unless someone wants to volunteer to do the data entry on that. I'll update in the next two weeks. Cheers.

Unpack the 2DA hak and parse it. The TLK as well. That will give you the large bulk of work completed. I've created one a few years back, feel free to PM me.

Builder would be great tool. Thanks to all who so generously volunteered their time and knowledge, it's much appreciated.

Hey thanks for this. I dug into these files and in a few minutes I was finding large nuggets of data that I now don't have to enter, just parse (later). I'll post in another two weeks with progress.

Here is an update now that its well past my deadline :liar: . I have the partially tested code for prestige prereqs, including calculating base attack, feats (and and or), race, alignment and caster type and level. (skills will be way later) so that if you click to select a class on at, say, level 7, if you meet the prereqs you will have the option to select the prestige class. I still have a lot of basically data entry to do to get all the prestige classes prereqs and class abilities entered. The prereqs are in a tlk file but it isn't much time saved after all, and I can't find where feat prereqs are stored, but thats coming later anyway. Unfortunately I will be traveling for a couple weeks but if I get an hour or two here and there to work (and play!) I should be able to give another update after 2 weeks.
