RE: [Xenocide-programming] Creative Texts in XML format

[Cpt. B. <cpt...@te...>]

I have a related question....where will the game get stats for everything?
For example, the top speed on an interceptor is 2100 (as stated in
ufopaedia/xnet).  Is that speed just  made up number, or will the
ufo-pursuit algorithm use it (rather than something simpler) to determine
outcomes.  If I wanted to mod the game so that interceptors were as fast as
battleships, would the change I made (in some hypothetical config file) be
reflected in the xnet entry?  Or would the xnet entry itself be the config
file?  Or would the xnet entry be simple text, no matter what the in-game
value is?

Subject: [Xenocide-programming] Creative Texts in XML format


Hey Everyone, I've read back in the archives and it seems like this item is
still at large but in progress. Regarding the text descriptions we'll see
in the X-Net/UFOPedia interface, is it accurate to say each entry with be a
text file using XML tags (not yet defined?) and those tags will be used by
the code to format the visual layout of the text? If that's an accurate
assumption, are you looking at the specs for something like
xml.openoffice.org layout or something else?

I'm curious because we are building up quite a number of text descriptions
as well as related texts that are either in txt or rtf format, and even the
text itself isn't in a standard layout to date. I'd like to direct the CTD
members along a narrower path so we have less follow up work later on. If
the XML format for these texts has not been considered yet, I can write up
a proposal based on my research in the text description area. It would
appear to be a fairly limited set of tags, for things like font type and
size, underline/bold, line feeds and carriage returns, that type of thing.

Thanks,
Breunor
