Adding to a "database thingy"

Ok first off I have no idea how I might even start to get this done but I need to figure out a way to add things to a "database" to help explain it there are two examples bellow.

So as the player goes somewhere new, a new page is added to their encyclopedia so they can look back on what they have discovered same as a bestiary as they defeat a new monster you can look at it in your bestiary to get information on them for next time.

The second example is the player gets an item and by using that item a new ability gets added. However on top of that a page is added to their spellbook and in that book it will have a detailed description on the spell, what it does and what is needed to use it.

Any help would be AMAZING because this is really hard and I have no clue even where to begin.

what you need is a journal/encyclopedia script, that has nothing to do with a database (as defined by programmers).


There are several scripts that could be used for this - basically you place the different entries inside the script or its data files, and then use a script command to unhide them in the game. I suggest you look at the CSCA encyclopedia, that script has the most options if I remember correctly - otherwise search the master script list for "journal" or "encyclopedia" to get alternative results.
