The Dark One started a thread here a lonnng time ago for just such a thing. Seems a shame not to use it and sticky it near the top. SeerBlue
I have been working on an automatic index scraper in the same vein as my challenge thumbnail scraper. So I have this so far:
Name to be given
[Map 1] Ash coast
[Map 2] Name to come
[Map 3] Kingdom part 3
[Map 4] Cazgothe
[Map 5] Charnok
[Map 6] The Thanelands of Skolvendun
[Map 6] [City 01] Arborea
[Map 7] Thrubmorton Fens
[Map 7] [Location 01] Fentor Cross Area
[Map 7] [Location 02] Snapgallows
[Map 7] [Location 03] Crazy Krulls Crossing
[Map 8] Name to come
[Map 9] Khanate of Qashya Mal
[Map 10] Qashya Malcentral steppe
[Map 12] Beastlands
[Map 12] [Location 01] Finger Islands
[Map 12] [Town 01] Farpoint
[Map 13] GroamBy Torq
[Map 13] [Town 01] Kwourin
[Map 13] [Town 02] Ascension
[Map 14] The Tawaren Basin
[Map 14] [Location 01] Mennin's Hallow
[Map 16] Kouver Islands
[Map 18] The Heart of OrvaelosLuwath Peninsula
[Map 19] The Boroughs
[Map 20] Unknown
[Map 25] Name to come
[Map 26] Grelda
[Map 28] Khossus
[Map 29] Mithkhardia
[Map 30] Wilderness and Ruin
Its still in development and I have some more plans for some good indexes.
Could do with an admin changing the top level CWBP [Region 1] from the 'Name to be given' to Ansium and then it would be correct for all the places so far. But this way its automated. I will set up a proper link in due course.
Any ideas what other indexes we might want ? I thought of doing a reverse introduction thread so you click on the alphabetically indexed member names and it gives you the member intro post from them I keep forgetting who everyone is.

Great idea Redrobes! Does the naming convention work with your indexing or would it be easier to have the convention adapted?
That's fantastic Redrobes. Thank you! Duly repped, of course.
I am doing a general indexing thing but it was inspired by the CWBP and the host of new locations being added. As long as the naming convention is pretty consistent (enough that I can write rules for it) then anything is alright. I am parsing the index for [Region 1] type posts at mo so this is the list - alphabetized on the stuff following the region bit and tidied up for spaces and numeric type differences. What we could do is adjust the name to 'finished' if it truly is...but how often is a place really finished tho eh ? I will add some indenting so it looks like a contents page in a while and host the list on a page I can keep uploading to - a bit like the Ansium map.
