Hello:


I was playing with the legends after world creation and I thought they could use a better viewer than de default ingame one. I'm a programmer, and the "export to excel option" seems to give all (or most) the info required to create a "legends viewer" that is more user friendly. I'm pondering creating a tool to transform the legends into something easier to navigate, read and search, probably export them to a wiki format that could be uploaded somewhere or viewed locally through a browser.


Would you be interested in such an utility?


Also, ¿multilanguage with sort of an automated translation? I'm not sure about this last bit, it's perfectly doable, but quite a bit of effort, and given DF is in english only, I'm not sure who would be interested in translated legends lore.


Edit: Parker147 already has a pretty nice tool that does this http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=72702.0  . No need for another one.

Didn't someone already did something like it, although some time ago?

Absolutely, here's the link: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=72702.0 . No need for another tool then, Parker147 is active and I'm sure he'll update his tool to the latest version, I don't plan on adding anything he doesn't have, and even if he did, I'd much rather work with him than create a different tool and create confusion.

Consider this matter closed then (unless Parker doesn't have the time to update his tool).
