#1 poseidon88 Nov 06, 2009 18:51:35	I just posted v2.1.2 of my Compendium search tool for Windows: compendiumsearch.googlecode.com/files/Co... This is a handy little tool I run on my netbook during gaming sessions (along with some other DM tools) or when I'm working on my campaign.  It's a lightweight, quick, and fully functional way to search content in the Compendium without having to run a full web browser.  Requires a DDI subscription to view item details. Version History v2.1.2 Fixed a bug in sort code.  It was puking any time it had to compare a numeric value with an empty value. v2.1.1 Fixed a couple bugs in parsing the results of Skill and Trap searches v2.1 The search results list is now a multi-column list view control. Columns will vary depending on what category is being searched Clicking the column headers will sort the results based on the column content v2.0.1   Fixed bug that caused the Paragon Path Race filter combo box to not be empty   Fixed bug that was causing HTTP 500 error on Trap searches with Type=Hazard v2.0   Search categories moved to individual tabs   Filtering available for all searches v1.0:   Unfiltered searches in single category (powers, feats, monsters, etc.)   Supports name-only searches   Returns a list of matching items   Displays item details fully rendered in web browser control (requires DDI subscription)   easily copy and paste item data into your campaign documents

I wish they'd give us the ability to get item information in a format other than html though. Makes parsing the information out too big of a headache right now.

Awesome.  I intentionally made it open source in the hopes that other people would use it as a guide to adding Compendium functionality to their tools.  If you have any questions about how/why I did particular things, don't hesitate to ask.  I wish they'd give us the ability to get item information in a format other than html though. Makes parsing the information out too big of a headache right now. I hear you.  I have a feeling they did it this way intentionally, as an attempt to thwart data piracy.  It doesn't work, of course.  Programs like Masterplan already download and parse all of the HTML.
