Basilisk / News: Recent posts

I have just uploaded the new Basilisk 1.10 data package, containing a TON of new data from Shaun Gierent. I have already uploaded these data files to the CVS repository.

Micah Higgins of the Netbook of Magical Treasures has submitted more items from that netbook. Also, Spencer Cooley has submitted spells from the Magic of Faerun and FRCS. Packages for 'data', 'src', and 'all' have been built (version 1.05).

The 'src' package was rebuilt because the 'config.h' header file was apparently not being included. This has been fixed.

I have recieved data files for the Manual of the Planes, more Dragon Magazine issues, Polyhedron Magazine, Dungeon Magazine, the Book of Eldritch Might, and the Diablo book. The data has been added to the CVS repository, and the 1.04 release of the "all" and "data" packages have been made available. Enjoy!

Another data file update: Mark Arnold (m.arnold@student.qut.edu.au) submitted data entered from the Tome and Blood and Defenders of the Faith books. I also modified the treasure generator so that you can configure it to show the names of the sources that the data is coming from.

I have put together two packages, too -- one for the data, and a complete package with everything (even though it was really only the data that changed). They are marked as version 1.03.

I may be deep into writing Medusa (the successor to Basilisk), but I'm still making the (very) occassional fix to Basilisk. I have added the Netbook of Magical Treasures data to the basilisk data section, and fixed a minor bug where Stinking Cloud was showing up as 2nd level instead of 3rd on scrolls. I have also released a new package containing just the new data -- 1.02.

Basilisk is now hosted at SourceForge. The CVS tree has been set up, and the packages and releases have been uploaded and configured. One of the biggest changes that has been made as part of this move is that the license for Basilisk has been changed from the Artistic license to the GPL.
