Blitzaroo needs some help

[SpiffyJr]

I'm getting closer and closer to releasing the alpha version of Blitzaroo but I need some help inputting data for various games. If you would like to help out by providing data for your game of choice I would be most grateful. Data input shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes per game but it would be a huge help to me. If you would like to help out please email spiffyjr at gmail dot com and I'll send you the format I need the data to be in.

Update: In order to prevent duplicates please post the game you are working on. Thanks!

Thanks in advance,

Spiffy

I received a few emails and rather than reply to each individually I've decided to post the steps here. There are a total of four files that you have to edit.

game.yml
game_attribte.yml
game_developer.yml
game_attribute_list.yml

These four files are text representations of the Blitzaroo database structure. A game can be very simple to input (such as Heroes of Newerth) or complex (most MMORPGs).

Here's a sample for Aion Online that I have already done.

game.yml - defines the game. The only required attributes are name, type, and platform. If you specify a developer it must also be listed in game_developer.yml.
1:
name: Aion Online
Developer: ncsoft
url: http://www.aiononline.com
type: MMORPG
platform: PC
has_server: true

game_developer.yml - defines game developers. Pretty simple.
ncsoft:
name: NCSoft
url: http://www.ncsoft.com

game_attribute.yml - This is where the fun begins. Some games have attributes (resistances, races, classes, etc) and they must be defined here. Some attributes can have dependencies on other attributes such as class and race. Looking at class below you see it has a GameAttribute requirement of race. If you have any issues email me and I'll help you sort this part out.
race:
Game: 1
name: Race
type: list
required: true
description: Choose your character's race.
class:
Game: 1
GameAttribute: race
name: Class
type: list
required: true
description: Choose your character's class.
magic_resist:
Game: 1
name: Magic Resist
type: integer
required: true
length: 3
description: Enter your character's magical resistance.
min_value: 0
max_value: 999
default_value: 0
physical_crit:
Game: 1
name: Physical Critical Hit
type: integer
required: true
length: 3
description: Enter your character's physical critical hit.
min_value: 0
max_value: 999
default_value: 0

game_attribute_list.yml - Any game attribute that is of type "list" must have their options defined here.
asmodian:
GameAttribute: race
value: Asmodian
eylos:
GameAttribute: race
value: Elyos
gladiator:
GameAttribute: class
ListItem: asmodian
value: Gladiator

Working on Heroes Of Newerth !

Maybe we can put here, in the reply, the values done, because 2 eyes can view better than one ;)

In my case, Jo_shi got my work (LotRO) :)

Spiffy, if you need more help, count with us.

Is there an alpha version or beta that is available for download yet?
