Better Search for the DPRD

Search results still link to their respective DPRD (German Pathfinder Reference Document) page.

The data used for searches is downloaded from the DPRD. The contents are – to my understanding – under the OGL (Open Game License).

The translation suggestions (en -> de) are based on the data from http://www.pathfinder-ogl.de/wiki/Regelbegriff-Glossar.

Improvements

Better performance on mobile devices: On the original page some auto-suggestion script blocks the whole page for a couple of seconds when starting to type.
Sorted results: Perfect matches are listed first, and entries from the "Grundregelwerk" are listed before those which are not.
Filter: Only search in certain categories like "talents", "monsters" etc.
Removed some duplicate entries.
Suggest translations for english search terms.

Additional Syntax

Upper- or lowercase does not matter.

To return all entries with a certain CR you can use HG:. Examples:

HG: 1/2
HG: 0.5
HG: 0,5
HG: ½
HG: 1
HG: 24
hg:1

To return all entries with a type, use Typ:. Examples:

Typ: Kampf
typ:kampf
typ: krit
TYP: Tier

To check talents for certain requirements, use Req:. Examples:

REQ: GAB +6
req:gab +6

You can also do something like this:

req:ge >12

This will return all talents with a dexterity requirement of 13 or above. Other examples:

req:gab >+6
req: GAB <10
Req: WE>9
REQ:zs> 7
req: wil > 0
req:ge>=13 && req:ausweichen

To find all spells of a certain school or sub school, use Schule:. Examples:

Schule: Illusion
schule:zwang

To show contents of a certain book, use Buch:. Examples:

Buch:Grundregelwerk
BUCH: Ausbauregeln II: kampf
buch:ausbauregeln

Setup

Look-up data

Download the data with ./tools/index-data-download.sh. This will download a bunch of JSON files to a directory called ./index-data/export/ and will total approximately 10 MB.

In the next step call node ./tools/index-data-adjust.js which will create new JSON files in ./index-data/.

Translations

The same process for the translations:

./tools/translation-data-download.sh
node ./tools/translation-data-adjust.js

Additional translations can be added in translation-data/custom.json beforehand.

CSS

If you made changes to screen.less recompile it with:

lessc --clean-css server/screen.less > server/screen.css

On the server

Then upload everything the application needs to your server. The final structure on the server should look like this:

index-data/
  custom/
    rules.json
  books.json
  magic-items.json
  magic.json
  monsters.json
  rules.json
  talents.json
  traits.json
  words-of-power.json
translation-data/
  custom.json
  translations.json
index.php
screen.css
search-check.php
search.php
short-info.php
syntax.html
ui.php

Requirements

bash (or MinGW on Windows)
LESS
NodeJS >= 10
PHP >= 7
