Ok, what I am working on is a program in C++ that will have all the PERL commands, events, etc, as well as zone lists and so on that will be organized into menus. You choose a menu, etc.
Here is an example. You enter the program, you choose the PERL Menu, then you choose let's say, PERL commands. There will be PERL Identifiers, Events, and so on. From here, boxes that organize all the commands in groups of 10, 2 columns each, will pop up. You choose the group of commands you want and you will enter that cluster. Then you choose the actual command you want and it will pop up based on Lexicon's PERL Guide. In his guide, it was difficult to find the things you wanted though. It will have the same information his guide has, but that information will be much easier to access. Instead of searching for that information, you simply go through a few menus and you are there. Currently, I am working on the PERL menu, but new menus will be up soon, guides based on the eqemu book 1.3, and so on, race lists, etc. The only problem is I can't load pictures atm as it is all console based for now. At one point, I will set up buttons and such that you click, like running a program, then go into the type of subject you want, such as PERL, World Building, OpenZone, etc. From there, it will have the subjects of those, like PERL. Then you can choose commands, events, etc, guides, and I will put in templates and a search engine to find these templates.
I am not sure if I will ever get out of console based, but I am just starting this up, not sure where it will go. I might just do the PERL part and keep it console based as I really want it so I can organize commands and such when I forget them or forget how to use them. This will just make it much easier for me, so I am not sure. I might keep it console based only on PERL, Zone ID's, etc, everything that will help you out in PERL.
Well, when I finnish the PERL part, I will try and get it up on a site and get it out there in exe form so that beginners can have an easier time with PERL, and people who are very good with it and just forget the commands will have a much easier time with PERL instead of seaching through 72 commands on Lexicon's commands list, each with their own page.
