It seems like there have been several posts recently about spells, and trying to make easy ways to modify them, and it got me thinking... Why aren't the spells in the DB yet? Config files && hard coded variables == bad, database == good
I'm no programming expert, but it looks like somewhere the spells_us.txt file is parsed into an array (spells[]) using Separator, I think (from common/seperator.h). In theory, it should be relatively easy to change how it is loaded from a file to loading it from the database. I'd take a stab at this, but I'm having some trouble finding where in the source the spells file is actually loaded.
Does anyone know where that can actually be found?
