The format is the one above. For each lair, I need the following:
1) Defenders
2) Treasure
3) Node status
4) Distance from capital
I need it in a format that I can import into Excel.
Done. Each row in the output is one lair/node/tower.
Each column contains this information in this order :
Distance Monster1ID Monster1Amount Monster2ID Monster2Amount Gold Mana Special HERO Item1Value Item2Value Item3Value Node/Tower/Lair
Item values are unadjusted, so you get only half as many mana crystals if you break them.
Special is 1-4 for common to very rare spells, 5 for 1 book/retort, 6 for 2 books/retorts.
Hero is 1 if there is a hero, 0 if there is not. Higher values mean you already scouted that lair.
Only your own plane is listed, whichever that one is. Already cleared lairs are excluded. Use turn 1 save files without RVL.
You specify the input save game file when you run the tool. The output goes into a DATA.TXT file.

btw, is there any reason why harmless ASM and PAS files are not allowed in attachments, yet we can attach ZIP and EXE files? Strange logic.
