D&D Tools Goes Down The Hole (UPDATE: 12/31)

[Keldar]

Because corporate lawyers need busywork to show their bosses too? 

[bhu]

Im 6 hours, 293 MiB, and 113 erors in, an it shows no sign of stopping...

[bhu]

Over 1000 errors in mine.  We're better off wth Caps version, as many of my errors came after a 500 error.

[bhu]

I have acquired a copy of their sqlite database, but as i know nothing about sqlite im at a loss as to what to do with it

[StreamOfTheSky]

Wish I had come here to post my lengthy anti-WotC screeds on how this follows a long succession of post-3E cease & desist actions now that they have no intention of selling much 3E material and don't need the advertising these sites effectively give them.  Instead of on giantitp, where they're deleting any thread about dndtools shutdown they find.

Crystal Keep, Ema's, now D&D Tools...  you shall be avenged, and honored in imitation in the future, no doubt.

[altpersona]

im pretty sure alt version of the keep are still up.

the sql db is used w/ their phone apps, which arent going anywhere

[kitep]

I also have the SQLite database, and it's only 27.2 MB

Im 6 hours, 293 MiB, and 113 erors in, an it shows no sign of stopping...

Wonder why the website is soooo much bigger than the database.  Is it because the database is incomplete?

[Raineh Daze]

Probably because the database is more efficiently stored than downloading thousands of separate web pages

Hm, I hope I can get copies of both the web page version and the SQLite version.  I've wanted to contribute there for a long time now, especially with adding a Prestige Class part for every feat that shows which classes the feat is a prerequisite for.

[Jackinthegreen]

Thanks Bhu!  Now to figure out how to use it...

Alas, it'd be much easier to just do stuff in HTML for me at the moment.  At least that language I can recognize and figure out the patterns to again to modify and add stuff.

[Gazzien]

And it's gone, as far as I can tell.

[Solo]

They can take our databases, but they cannae take our freedom!

[SorO_Lost]

That's what apple is for.

[Locnil]

So I went and got the app they mentioned (and for the first time I witnessed the power of android, I just clicked install on my PC, went to check my phone, and by the time I got there the app was already installed). Only problem is it only has SRD materials. Does anyone know how to add the D&DTools database to the app?

Edit: Wait, nvm guys, I figured it out.  All hail to the Internet Wayback  Machine

the front page now mentions they have a repository at github.

"Yes, I did a siterip yesterday when I saw the news.

All 42 dead link errors were hand corrected - they were mostly links to pages that weren't created yet (often in the deities section), and in a few cases the links weren't created right (usually, because they were misspelled).

The limitation is the site uses google search for it's search, and I don't know how to fix that so you can be able to search within the site itself offline.

Still, I hope this may be of use to you!"

Just checked it -- slow as shit, and the filters don't work.  But otherwise, good-to-go.

Looks like only OGL (or at least, primarily).

+1 to you Bhu!

Hopefully this will help me and others be productive when we otherwise couldn't be.
