Perl Import_Spells.pl

GeorgeS,

There isn't a need for Titanium exporting, only for Titanium importing. The spell files are backwards compatible, meaning that a Titanium client can use a SoF client spell file perfectly fine. The only problem is that it is not forward compatible, so an SoF client cannot use a Titanium client spell file. For any server wanting to share a customized spell file or a single spell file to use for both clients, they should only be sharing the SoF version, since it will work with both types. IMO, there isn't any need to export into Titanium format. The only possible use of it would be to slightly reduce the file size. The only other difference between the clients as far as the spell files go is that Titanium can only load spell IDs up to 9999, where SoF has a much higher limit (currently I am not aware of what the max is, but it should be at least 20K+).

Ti export is for just re-creating the Ti spell file. You have the choice of exporting it to a SOF compat. format. I'll leave that end to the user to determine, but in any event, it should cover all bases.

Yeah, no harm in leaving the option. Just wanted to give a heads-up mostly.

I also tried to run the application, it ran my processor at 100% until I killed it.

Yes, the importation of that much data takes 100% of your CPU. Let it run till it's done.

It takes up to 5 min on my pc

Grabbed the new version from your site tonight and it ran very well for exporting. The only note if no importance I can make is you can't export without at least having a blank spells_us.txt file. However, with one, all Titanium spells dumped, across the Internet, in less than 5 seconds, including extra latency from my port remapper since the MySQL port isn't configurable through your front-ends.

Saved me a few hours work so thanks George!
