New DO template

[X-IHH/Wallac Isilviere (Kasper)]

If you dont mind I will just make a note with the unit(s) in question that they are mounted and then fix it when it gets to be supported in later versions. As it is my head is nearly ready to explode

OK

the custom number format for RP & GB should probably be:

0" "\RP & 0" "\GB

It is easier to read when it looks like "0 GB" rather than "0GB" (which it currently looks like)

AA's say they are tired of being sent adventuring every single month where they don't have actual work planned. They would like to be able to have "non-scheduled" time on their... schedule.

(You are forced to pick an action for each line of AA stuff, even when they sometimes do not have anything to do that particular month.)

I complained about this when discussing the last template, and feel I'll have to do so again. Could we format the section on holdings in the Do to match the P&H, so one can cut and paste rather than try constantly update these parts? Alternatively are there are clever people out there who can make one spreadsheet talk to the other, and have it automatically updated?

I can make them talk...but I'm not yet sure how to make the DO pick up all the relevant entries...that is not so easy.

In the meantime; why bother at all? It's all there in the P&H, so really no need to put it int the DO.

[X-Elinie/RiD (Niels)]

Just dreaming here... But if there was a "target province" and next to it, "target holding" thing, pr. action, then it could show local prosperity, size of province, and on the "target holding" you would be able to see level and owner of all holdings in that province.

Using those values, combined with the action type, would then fill out the formula on its own.

On your Domain page, in the DO, you'd specify which is your own domain and what other domains you have "holding advantage" deals with.

Of course, then we are almost building a game engine... :-)

Some elements could probably be driven by volunteer work.

These kinds of functions are outside the scope of my current DO template project...

Having been messing around with Openoffice a little bit, I think the simple thing to do, even though it does not sound simple, is to transfer the P&H into a database (openoffice's one will do). Then make sure there are the right relationships between the data and then simply pull the data or insert data when you need to change or retrieve things. Making openoffice calc talk to the openoffice database is very easy, so that could work.

That is, of course, the theory. How to do it in practice... it would take time

[X-Elinie/RiD (Niels)]

No, no, no. What you need to do, is to set up the values you are interested in porting over, on a different page in the DO document.

Then you set up this page to link to the value locations in the Other file and have an update button. Mapping the first one will be a little  painful, but this will work. If the format of the P&H is absolutely static in number of lines etc... :-)

[X-Hermedhie (Ronny)]

I think I would go for the database solution myself

And just now I got a vision in my head where the P&H is in an online MySQL DB, with an online DO order done with PHP

[X-Roesone/SG (Shido)]

Some kind of ROE BirMail project?

[DM B]

Please keep to the subject; or make a new OOC topic.

No DBs or BirMail clones are going to appear.

Comments:

• Chapel of the Saints missing from Structures drop down list.
• SHould LTs be listed at the top of able assistance, with the rest in order of decreasing importance?
• Make the province level/ruler in the holding list refer to the already included province list.
  
• Prepare Realm Spell missing from action list. Quite key for some domains.
• Add a Not USed action to the list
• Loose the header to each individual action. One header line per action type should be sufficient
• Grants appear to be counted twice in the budget
• Should the 'off book' summation of the various construction categories be added automatically to these cells. Easy to miss some if manual.

More to come as my headache grows. 
BTW, I hate it, and don't look forward to moving it all into some new template next turn

v2.7 uploaded.

There will be a new version before deadline; but you can use 2.7 to comment on.
