Though, I use MySQL, so I am not editing textfiles. I use it for help files, as well as my configuration, and basic zone information as of now, will extend as I have the time. If you also run on MySQL perhaps you should just wait for me to release this. That is if you don't have to do it yourself. :) I highly suggest that you convert to MySQL, since everything becomes so easy with it. The approval system is a really good idea, and I will bear that in mind and "steal" that idea for my WebOLC package that I will probably release in addition to my handpatch of MySQL. I have no real dateline for this, since I am quite busy at work. But, I have everything done in the "common" OLC but for shops and zones, and I expect to have these done by the end of the year. What did you mean with function reference? Oh, got nice ideas for DG Scripts. Web syntax coloring and syntax checking. Also, for descriptions, spell checking from spellchecker.net, instant spellchecking in the text window. Will have to implement that straight away. As for the map I have no direct solution for that, but, I guess it would be quite simple with GD libs, could also create graphs and stuff to display information of zones, mobs, loads, and other things. One exellent way to build graphically would be to build a small Flash client that interfaces with a php-script. I could do that as well, since I have experience with Flash apps. But, I would like some input on that before I start, since I am not sure what people wants. If you are interested in this, please bomb me with ideas, folks.
