Hi Everyone,

For those who already updated to latest DOL revision using "DataCareer", I've been working on a small PHP web-based tool to display database content in the shape of some "Character Builder".

It's still "Work In Progress", there is actually no script to "build" your character, but it displays in-game skills nicely, and allow admin to debug their skill tree or give players a "snapshot" of available skills on your Shard :)

It's compatible with SQLITE and MYSQL through "PDO" connector, simply update the index.php "config part" with your own values, make sure it doesn't try to open the given "demo database" by renaming it, and browse to your setup URL within a php-enabled web server (Apache/Nginx/IIS/WAMP...)

Here is a demo : https://daoc.freyad.net/charbuilder/
Here is the archive with all assets : https://daoc.freyad.net/charbuilder/cha ... pha.tar.gz
(And yes my SSL cert is obsolete... use a browser that allow you to dismiss the warning)

Warning: For security matters you should never use this script connected to your "Shard production database", make a copy of the needed tables in a "web server" dedicated database, or keep it running with SQLITE and dump your own data :)

I must credit Etaew for the classes image thumbnail I took from his blog, and for the time I spent on his own character builder to make something similar but with DOL database ;)

Feature to add :
- Tooltip "on Mouse Over" to display Skill "Delve"
- Form with Scripts to compute player level and skill points
- More meta data to allow css/js implementation of the skill-building without too much server side code
- Make a proper "Share" URL...
- RA/Champions (totally different story here for client-side script...)

The project had only a slight update (displaying Ability "Title" with string replacements)

But is now available through GitHub for Forking/Pushing Updates...

Just set this up... Could be a very handy tool especially for servers with ability/spell/style setups that cant be reflected on current charbuilders, like mine :mrgreen:

I'd like to implement the mouse over tooltip .... gonna take me a while to figure this out though
