It's gone  Looks like The_Geomancer didn't renew the domain name.
Does anyone have a Dereth Explorer data_spedia.xml newer than 5/26/2006 they would like to share? 
I lost mine when I tried to update last week and DE nuked mine.

You can use the AC Warcry dataplace with AC Explorer too.

Thanks, Digero 
Maddy, there is a lot of information in ACspedia that AC Warcry data is missing, mostly in the descriptions. An example of this is Umbral Hall sub. ACSpedia tells which direction (N,S,E,W)to go for each particular group of portals, AC Warcry does not. ACSpedia has more links to quest writeups, too. While I use AC Warcry data exclusively for GoArrow, I often find extra useful information from ACSpedia using Dereth Explorer.

Now I just need to feed acspedia_locations.txt into Dereth Explorer to generate data_spedia.xml
I couldn't find anywhere in DE to configure a new update location.

Sign #147 that the end is approaching.
Funny, after all these signs you'd think the end would be here by now.

Don't you know that it's always the next sign that means impending doom?

Digero, I took your copy of the data file and rehosted it on my website. Dereth Explorer should now use that file when updating and will no longer attempt to connect to AC Spedia. I adjusted it yesterday and seems to work for me, but if anyone can confirm it...
It's a shame that AC Spedia is gone, best of it were the additional comments that each entry had. Always nice to see what people had to say, so many years ago

Does anyone know what happened, was there an auf Wiedersehen post somewhere?
That's a pretty big resource to lose for the game but if acmaps or God forbid Maggies goes away then I'd also have to jump on the "The End is Near" bandwagon.

While the comments were interesting, I found many of them to also be wrong.

I loaded the Warcry database into Go Arrow, but it is nowhere near as complete as the acspedia database was.
Tried to find the Toad Idol which has been in game for a LONG time but it didn't show up, nor could I find it on the Warcry site.
Is it even being maintained anymore?

Yes it is, what we need is a web form for people to submit places so we can then review and add to the database. I'll point this out to others.

I have the locations for Viss isle, but there is no land mass... all the locations show up as being in water - Kalieth.
-you will need to use a cell.dat converter to get the updated map for acx.. or u could get dereth explorer.. use its map
update function.. you will have to point it to your file turbine.. ac.. client_cell_1.dat.. let it run then go to the
dereth explorer folder.. copy the standard map.. save it as a .bmp .. then rename it "dereth" .. cut and paste it to your
ac explorer folder and replace the one there with it... the cell.dat converter thing was posted on zuggs ac explorer forums
somewhere.. kgober supplied a link to it.. i found it easier just to use the dereth explorer to update the map.

The COD database is missing quite a few places that have been in game for a long time, like all the Blackmire/Burun King Dungeons (except one), and no info on the Blackmire portal drop exits, to name but a few. Adding information is difficult, good luck trying to find a link.

You will probably want to add a flag column to the database somewhere to indicate that it has been 'approved', then all the tools that pull in data from that db will need to be updated to only pull 'approved' items when they update.

Wow...nice to see people use that feature! It was something I put together for myself only and I wasn't sure if anyone else ever bothered to use it! ;-)
