Okay, this is mostly a question about legality. You see, I've got an idea to create a Storyline file that contains a complete recipie and item list, as well as possibly a few 'how to' guides thrown in for later. I'm going to start with the revamped Alchemy and work my way up from there. The problem is that I'm going to have to copy/paste large portions of the content of this website to be able to do it, and I'm unsure as to the legality of this without obtaining permissions first. I'll of course give credit to eqtraders.com for being my primary source of information, however there may be other issues involved, and I'd like to get an idea of what is needed so I don't step on anyone's toes accidentally before I start in on this monumental task.
My initial idea is to have every item be their own file, which is then referenced in the recipies using the following code:
Granted, there's something like a couple hundred items just in the Alchemy ingredient list, but it could be done fairly easily by copying the item's stats, pasting it into a .txt file, adding the <br> tags onto the end of every line, and saving it. Every item listing would have what vendor sells it from stock and/or what it drops/forages from and what recipies it is used in with links to those recipies. Then each recipie would refer to each item tag so people can look that information up and can go back to that recipie from the item without having to jump through hoops.
It's a fairly massive undertaking, but I should be able to pull it off. The question I'm posing is whether or not I should, or if there's any legal problems I'm going to hit with potential copywright or intellectual property issues, and what permissions I might need from eqtraders.com before I begin this project.
