HeroScribe Online

[Onan]

Hello guys and girls,

It looks like HeroScribe becomes more and more outdated. It is a great tool, and it has a machine readable description of all quests and objects. It also has all the icons. It can still be downloaded from some sources, but it's time to preserve all that work for future generations of HQ players.

I have created a github repository at https://github.com/heroscribe/heroscribe with all the icons and quests. I have already found some minor errors that I have corrected (KK Eastern Passage is called Great Citadel, Belorn's Mine has 2 exits marked "1"). How did I find these errors?

Well, I have written a javascript tool that I call HeroScribe Online. The github repo has a github pages page, where you can view all the quests in your browser. It also has editing capabilities. You can move things around and save your map. You can also upload HS maps and view and edit them online.

I think it is OK to use the contents. It is all GPL2, which I also use for my HeroScribe Online project. Well, except for that grey area with the MB or Hasbro copyrighted material...

So, check it out at https://heroscribe.github.io/heroscribe/ and let me know what you think.

Update: I have created a page with all the cards.

I took the texts from the Excel file in this thread:

The images are also from Ye Olde Inn, but converted to web standard (10 times smaller file size) and to monochrome. Is it OK that I used these?

No problem that I can see. You're presenting these as a shared source without claiming they are your personal creations. I believe that agrees with the sharing practices of the Inn. I can't speak to the practices of the Heroscribe site, but since it's no longer actively maintained I can't see a conflict.

Hasbro can always object, but it doesn't seem likely regarding 90s materials if no money is involved.

I don't see any problem either.

Glad to hear this, Daedalus and HispaZargon!

I don't suppose you have the fan-created icon packs, do you? Or maybe the files somewhere that you would be willing to share? I've been trying to find them and I'm not able to and would love to use some of them.
