Re: [Plib-devel] World Loader

[ben w. <za...@ec...>]

Hello

Thanks for your responce, I was thinking something that would define a
world, ie what objects are in the world and where they are located, and if
we put a scripting language into plib, then what scripts should be used by
the objects (object being models)..

I was thinking something like
<world>
    <start point>0,0,0</start point>
    <object>
        <name>ground</name>
        <location>x,y,z</location>
    </object>
    <object>
        <name>penguin</name>
        <location>x,y,z</location>
    </object>
    <object>
        <name>penguin</name>
        <location>x,y,z</location>
    </object>
    <object>
        <name>enamy1</name>
        <location>x,y,z</location>
    </object>
</world>
<models>
    <model>
        <name>penguin</name>
        <file>data/penguin.ac</file>
     </model>
    <model>
        <name>ground</name>
        <file>data/ground.ac</file>
     </model>
    <model>
        <name>enamy1</name>
        <file>data/enamy.ac</file>
        <script>scripts/enamy.py</script>
     </model>
</models>

So what do you think.. Is this a really bad idea..
Thanks Ben
