               Rolo I would love to help but I am on pre-paid inet at the moment. Having looked through your list, I had a thought. As there is a lot of nwn2 stuff have you posted a link in the nwn2 custom content section of these boards. I'm sure that there must be people in there who would love to come on-board. Actually now I think about it, it wouldn't hurt to post a link to this thread in the modules, toolset and scripting forums of the nwn section either.

Couple of practicalities spring to mind.

• Do you want the pages saving as a web archive (mht) or just html with seperate pictures etc.?
• What do you want to do with multi-page comments?

               Rolo I'll give textures a try - compared to the rest of the entries there's only 6 pages.

...Maximus does...He *is* working on it, but he is paid full-time to work on IGN's other sites and he pretty much keeps NwVault up as a labor of love.

I think the last few words here pretty much explain what most of us are doing still playing and working on stuff for a 10 year old computer game.

               Good idea.  I was never able to come up with a good method to mirror the Vault in a way that I thought was useful but maybe we can find the answer to that one together.

               Friends,

I don't hit this forum much, but I love NwN and I want to contribute to preserving the Vault!  If no one objects, I can work on the NwN Characters section.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Eric of Atrophy]

               A thought - would .pdf captures of the pages be workable?  In addition to getting the files, of course...

               Why not use a web scraper?

I know you have bandwidth issues Tarot. I think you're amazing doing anything at all! Maybe Brits do remember how to rock! ;-)

Tchos posted a link on the NwN2 forums. Cross-posting here isn't a bad idea, but my time is *really* limited today ;-/ Anyone want to do it?

Basically, all the info will have to be cut and pasted when I get the VPP content type built (sometime tomorrow). So whatever method is easiest for you to work with. You can also save it as a PDF if that works for you. The idea is to keep the structure of the Vault entries for compatibility as a mirror going forward, while migrating the content to a viable CMS (Content Management System).

What ever would be easiest for you to cut and paste into the form when I get that ready (sometime tomorrow - see response to Tarot Redhand).

(see my response to Virusman) Basically, I couldn't get it working efficiently. After several hours of spidering down evry link (including ads) I had very few pages of actual projects. If someone has a lot better luck (or skill), that would be a great option.

On the otherhand, I'm getting damn good vibes from the peoplerallying 'round. It really demonstrates the great beating heart of this community =)

Can't beat that with a stick!
