Latest Version Download

Database Public-Release v5-0-2 2024-04-08.zip 

This release is primarily of the database program, and not the data.
A set of data has been released as an example/starter, some items/areas are not included in this data set.
Ascendere is not planning to release updates to the data file, it is up to individual users/organisations to update the data as they see fit.

How to Use

The program requires no installation and runs in the folder it is extracted.

There is a detailed readme.txt file included in the zip file with most of this included information on how to use it.

Initially you will be prompted for some information to configure the database, and some new/blank files will be created as needed.

There is an inbuilt "help" button at the top of the program which lists context sensitive help depending which view you are in (Equipment v.s. Character).

Adding New Items/Import Log Files

You can add your own items/information by importing mud log files by clicking "Import Log".

Log files are expected to be in plain text format without ANSI colour codes.

All item ID's in a log file are expected to have a blank line at the end of their ID to signify the end of the items.

You can either import a whole log or simply copy an item ID to your clipboard and use the "Import Clipboard" button to import it directly from there.

Editing Existing Items

When editing Data and putting in Mob names/ Areas here's some tips that Ascendere has used to maintain/update the data so far, feel free to use/create your own style for your data as you like.

Some tips for item Areas.

  • Items that come from 1 area only, mark as that area.
  • All OOG items are to be marked as area (Out Of Game).
  • All items user created are to be marked as >Multiple Areas<
  • All clan/created items are to be marked as the area where the vnums are (i.e. the clan HQ)

Some tips for Mob/Room names.

  • Items that come from 1 mob are to show the single mob name, without a/the/an prefix.
  • Items that are pops from single mobs are to show so "MobName (Pop, specifics i.e. % or class required)"
  • Items that are Supplicated are to say so.
  • Items that are made by a mob are to say "Make Item (Mob who makes it, what you have to do)"
  • Items that are area pops are to say "Area Pop (Room Name, other info)
  • Items that are reboot pops are to say "Reboot Pop (Room Name)
  • Items that can come from 1/2/3 mobs are to list the mobs names "Mob1/Mob2/Mob3"
  • Items that can come from more than 3 mobs are to say "Various Mobs"
  • Items that are user created are to say "Created Item (Class)"
  • Items that are made from connecting are to say "Connect Item (Pieces needed)"
  • Items that are bought from shops are to say "MobName (Shop)"
  • Anything else special not listed should basically be of the form... MobName (Special info)

RoD Equipment Database History

The RoD Equipment Database is a windows based program that is designed to help with the task of equipping characters and maintaining a database of all existing/previous RoD items.

  • It was originally coded and maintained by Alexian prior to his mud departure in 2002.
  • Baralis coded some changes up to version 3.6 but the source was unavailable and as such v3.9 onwards is based on the old 3.3 source + changes by Namsar.
  • Versions prior to 3.9 are in public domain.
  • Version 4.X are Ascendere only.
  • Version 5.X and onwards is now public again, but with two modes "Organisation" and "Solo".

Database Modes

From version 5.0.0 onwards the database has transitioned from an Ascendere only program, to a program open for all the players of realms.

To facilitate this the program will now run in one of two modes, set during the initial running of the program. These two modes are "Solo" or "Organisation".

Solo Mode:

  • For those who recall how Alexians database worked prior to v3.3 when Alexian stopped updating it, solo mode is identical to this.
  • You can load up data files either manually or from other players, import/edit to your hearts content but all data will remain local to you only.
  • To share your database with other users you would need to copy your RoD_Item.txt file and get them to either replace their own file entirely or "import" your database file to merge the data.
  • Solo mode requires no internet connection or other configuration.

Organisation Mode:

  • Organisation mode allows an organisation to setup a central repository where users can login and synchronise data easily between themselves.
  • This mode has been built over the past 10 years and only used within Ascendere.
  • To run in this mode an organisation will need to have access to an FTP server where they can configure a new user and set up some folders.
  • Additional configuration options are required of the user to enable this mode as well.
  • It is suggested that if any organisations would like to set this up for their own users that they reach out to Namsar for some assistance in this matter.

Note: Once the mode is set, you can not change it through the program and you will need to shutdown the program then manually remove the line "Mode=XXXXX" from the RoD_DB.ini file. Doing this will reset the mode back to default and let you choose again on next run of the program.

-----------------------------------
- Resolved issue with timestamps and colouring on spells/equipment sets.
- Resolved issue when importing multiple files of it clearing the main window with each file.
- Added in additional detectable timestamp formats for other timestamps (Derosa)
- Added the ability for the importation of log files to automatically detect the mob name/area if one does not already exist.
  * This is achieved by looking for the player to personally loot the item from a mobs corpse, and then ID it.
  * Area detection works only if your prompt has the following format: #STATUS-<Geo Name|Area Name|
  * As an example: #STATUS-<N. Plains|Dragontail Glen|
  * If data is sourced from auction, it is noted in the Mob/Area field if the item has no other data in that field.
  * If you wish to ignore certain mobs/players corpses as possible sources of items you can add them into a file called "IgnoreList.txt" in the DB folder.
    + Set each name you wish to ignore on a new line, you can ignore capitalization i.e.

    IgnoreList.txt
    Namsar
    Nemser
    the street peddler
    the imprisoned thief
    The assassin

        or not showing wanted equipment correctly.

  * If you are running the Dbase without web access you don't need a user/pass, but you also won't be able to get updates.
  * You need to setup the RoD_db.ini file with your username/password exactly as you are given them.
- Tab ordering on most pages fixed up so it's logical.
- DDE Support put back in.
- Items will now show "Allows" if there are a lot of anti's and it would be less spam to show allows...

- CTRL-SHIFT-D
  * This will Ignore that item from now on.
  * Use this on renames/items that are simply wrong.  The item is still saved in the database, it's just not visible normally
  * Unless you select the filter option "Show Deleted"  then the items will be shown.
  * You can manually removed the "<Deleted By *****>" tag in other, to un-ignore the item.
  *NOTE: This feature is implemented to help maintain the integrity of the database with web uploads/downloads.

Older additions (4.2) (Internal Testing only):

- Ctrl-F now works for an easy name search.
- Ctrl-Z now does the same as middle mouse button (reset to default).

- Changed the way the system checks for items, searching by stats rather than by name.
  * This means importing of items with the same name but different stats, should work well.

Older additions (4.1):
---------------------------------------
- Added Log file support, default importing can done with *.txt or *.log files.

- Anti's have their own popup window similar to properties allowing you to easily change them.

  * Mob Name
- Can SEARCH by area/mob to show specific loot.

  * Depending on Database Size it might look like it's not doing anything.
  * Is is Faster to delete from the End of the database.
- Added ability to sort the current list by any column, just click on the header.
  * Left click will list things Descending - Right Click Ascending.
  * Different columns are sorted differently, e.g. flags/antis/races are sorted by the number of anti's not alphabetically.
  * Middle click resets back to the default sorting.
  * It can take a few seconds for the sorting to complete, depending on PC speed and database size.
- When importing log files you have the option to Compact them.
  * This removes all lines from the file that the parser did not recognise as item Id's.
  * The compacted log file is saved with the original file name plus -Compacted
- A new flag has been added "Gloried"  When importing items that are gloried they will get this flag marked and their name changed.
  * Their name will be XXXXXX *Gloried* to help in easier identifying them.
  * You can also filter out gloried items, just like OOG ones on the filter form.
- Gloried items are stored in their own file, RoD_Item_Gloried.txt
  * This file (If existing) will load when you open the database.
  * When exiting the database it will separate out all gloried items and store them in your own file.
  * This can also be a GREAT way to keep certain items ID's secret.
    - I.e. Import items and manually flag them as gloried.  The id's will be stored in the separate file.
- Layerable items in the Characters Listing only list the extra slots if you have a layered item equipped.
  * There is a limit of 10 layered items per layered slot, lets hope someone doesn't make more than 10 items that can layer on your body ;)
- Area column brings up a dropdown list to select the area items are from.
- You can now import someone else's data file it compares and merges both.
  * Note: This will only work with v4+ Data files.  You can NOT import old files.
  * The reason is there is more data columns in the new ones and new ways of handling the data.  They are incompatible.
  * All future versions v4.0+ will be backwards compatible with any v4+ file...
  * Meaning when v4.5 comes out, it will be able to import v4.0 files etc.

Older additions (3.9.4):

------------------------
- Added Barbarians as a class.
- Modified all magic items to be Anti-Barbarian. (This will be automatically done when you import a magical item)

  * Any items that are anti fighter and non-magic, let me know so I can edit.

- All of the new class stats were added to the database to account for the secondary and 
  deficient changes.
- A few new items prior to The Shattering were added with more to come.
- Multiple wearlocs for Body/Arms/About to accomodate the new layers found.
- A new flag added for pkill equipment from the new deadly-only areas (shows up as K in properties)
- Added quite a few items as well as finding some new layerable stuff (more to come!)
- Two-handed flag for new weapons

Some of these above items already existed in the modified 3.6 version by Baralis.  The source
code for which wasn't available.  I had to start from the old 3.3 code and re-write those
sections.  Below are the NEW additions ontop of the changes made so we have a up to date source available to build on.

- Reading a log file actually WORKS NOW!!!!! (Please stress test this with new things)
- Resists/suscepts total up in the character section (Also still under testing but works well so far)
- Base HP/Mana can be recorded in the character section and totalled.

* Any requests for new features or bugs please send me a mudmail or leave me a message in forums etc.
* I can't find all the problems myself, so play around with it and let me know anything quirky you find.
