User:Skace

I started playing RoD in 1998 and I've come back to it several times over the years. The gaps leave me starting fresh every time, which I suppose is why I have a vested interest in documentation. My interest in this site, however, is not just due to documenting RoD, but also because I've been very interested in Wikipedia itself. I didn't have a subject that I wanted to dive into until it came to filling in all the missing information surrounding the Realms.

I am currently working towards complete data for The Sentinel and The Gauntlet. Mainly because they are 2 of my favorite zones, but also because they have a level limit which makes them a priority.

Characters

Skaje

Skaje is my first character, which is why he has the stupidest name. He may never reach 50 and the string of 13hp level ups almost sealed that fact in concrete.

Score for Skaje the Forsaken.

Scripts

Area Menu

• Copy the full "areas" command from RoD into a file called areas.txt and remote extra spacing (replace " " with " " until you can't)
• Create and run a batch file with the following code:

@echo off
setlocal
set i=0
echo "|-"> areas2.txt
for /f "tokens=2 delims=|(" %%i in (areas.txt) do call :start %%i
endlocal
goto :eof

:start2
echo "%*"
goto :eof

:start
set /a i+=1
if "%t%"=="" ( set "t=[[%*]]" ) else ( set "t=%t% || [[%*]]" )
if "%i%"=="2" call :submit "%t%"
goto :eof

:submit
echo "|%~1">> areas2.txt
echo "|-">> areas2.txt
set i=0
set t=
goto :eof

• Open areas2.txt and replace quotation marks w/ nothing to remove them all
• You now have the body of the Template:Areamenu. Do not overwrite the whole thing, only the body, you will be able to tell.

Command Menu

• Create a long text file of commands directly from inside RoD via commands. Use Excel to turn this list into 1 column and alphabetize it. Save it as commands.txt
• Create and run a batch file with this code:

@echo off
setlocal
set i=0
echo "|-"> commands2.txt
for /f %%i in (commands.txt) do call :start %%i
endlocal
goto :eof

:start
set /a i+=1
if "%t%"=="" ( set "t=[[%~1]]" ) else ( set "t=%t% || [[%~1]]" )
if "%i%"=="3" call :submit "%t%"
goto :eof

:submit
echo "|%~1">> commands2.txt
echo "|-">> commands2.txt
set i=0
set t=
goto :eof

• Open commands2.txt and replace all quotation marks w/ nothing to remove them
• Copy the resulting text into the Template:Commandmenu body

Skill Menu

• Grab the list of skills off of the category skill page for the specific class you are updating
• Create and run a batch file with this code:

@echo off
setlocal
echo "|-"> skills2.txt
for /f "tokens=1,2,3,4 delims=:=" %%i in (skills.txt) do call :start "%%i" "%%j" "%%k" "%%l"
endlocal
goto :eof

:start
if "%~2"=="" for /f "tokens=2" %%i in ("%~1") do set level=%%i& goto :eof
for /f "tokens=2 delims=[]" %%i in ("%~2") do set skill=[[%%i]]
for /f "tokens=1" %%i in ("%~3") do set max=%%i
echo "|%level% || %skill% || %max% || %~4">> skills2.txt
echo "|-">> skills2.txt
goto :eof

• Open skills2.txt and replace all quotation marks w/ nothing to remove them
• The resulting text can be used to create a skill table for any class page. See the warrior class for example syntax.
