I had a... brain-lightbulb. What's a good term for that? haha. I realized that D4 classes, especially Monsters, have some data 'charted' out already. And charted data means I can use regex to put it into the TabberTier template like, super-crazy fast. It took... I didn't time myself, but probably a good half an hour, maybe... oh wait. probably closer to an hour and a half, to write the regex in the first place. But it's all saved in .txts on my computer and and I timed myself: I can take a D4 Monster page and make it T2C&DMAC'd in like ten minutes.

Now admittedly, I'm not inputting any /new/ data or anything (I don't have any D4 source or anything), so that poor 'incomplete table' template is just crammed full of notes about what's missing. But! BUT! Ten minutes! For everything to be templated and organized and yeahhh.

When regex doesn't work, it doesn't tell you why it doesn't work. So that's stupidly annoying. But when it does work, it takes out sooooooooooooo much handwork. This is the best ^__^. Progress yeahh!

... she says in one breath, and in the next says, why am I still sitting at this computer, there's so much irl crap I have to get done. Blarg. Ok, one more D4 page, then I need to seriously tear myself away for a bit.
