Question - Show Spellbook in a List

[Jetanroth]

Is it possible to show the contents of the spell book as a list like the Combat Abilities does, without sitting down, opening the book and going pages?

I think outputfile has something. But nothing in game.

 

[Jetanroth]

Here is a Lua that will show the Spellbook in a column window like you can with the Combat Abilities if anyone else wants it.

I like this you should also check out the ability picker aquietone wrote, it will sort them and put them into collapsing headers.
It also handles your aa and other abilities / items

That is a really great resource, thank you for highlighting it!

no problem, it's what I use for selecting spells in MySpells
not sure if there is a way to pull the data in a way that doesn't put the *$1%N tokens in there and instead puts in the data.

What I would love to see ia a searchbox, and then the category -> subcategory to manually find the spell by right clicking the spellgem. Someone is always asking for an obscure buff and it takes me 5 minutes to find it on the menu.

MySpells memorize feature will let you search and then load into the gem.

I figured out why it is printing the weird characters, apparently that is the description:

 

[Nightmare327]

It is probably a placeholder token, to be replaced with the 1 2 3 from above. That way they have a tokenized way of adding various effects that it will bestow.

Correct, spells use that as PH for effects, due to the games growth (many many many spells have that listed anymore).

/outputfile spellbook

/outputfile spellbook

That is just a text file. Not what I wanted but the Lua post is exactly correct so problem solved!
