AlchTool - PHP-based alchemist potion research tool

+This software is a simple PHP-based script for making BatMUD alchemist potion research easier and +a more bearable process. It will help you keep book of the combinations you +have researched and will automatically eliminate combinations that are not +possible. +

+ +

Requirements

+Requirements are simple, but may not be available to everyone. You will need +an environment capable of hosting PHP scripts, and a web-server. Most +UNIX/Linux shell accounts offer this possibility. PHP version 5 is +recommended, but the script may work with PHP version old as 4.3. We make no +guarantees, however. GD extension for PHP may be good to have, but +is not a strict requirement. +

+Other thing you will need, of course, is a web-browser, for viewing the data. +

+ +

How to use

+Input data for the script can be written either manually by hand, or you any +other process, such as MUD client triggers. Latest version of GgrTF scriptset for TinyFugue +offers a nifty alchemist guild module, that can automate the data file +generation completely. +

+The format of the data file results.txt is as follows, example of a datafile can be +found here. +

Any non-empty line that does NOT start with hash '#' character, is considered data.
Each data line is of format: mineral organ herb + result
Each entry (minera, organ, herb, result) is separated by whitespace of + any amount you want to use.
Result field is as follows:
+
- - : No match.
- ?potion_name : Close, but no cigar.
- !potion_name : Found potion.
+
Allowed names for minerals, herbs and organs are listed by the script. + Potion names are not limited, but you should be consistent, mismatches + cannot be detected!
