Title: XML spell system?
Post by: hook on February 08, 2004, 08:53:25 am
Ok, I know a tad about XML and that it\'s used to transport all different possible data over the HTTP port.

Soooo, you guys are intending to use XML files for the spells, so every player can alter it, and then a (X)SLT file (maybe on the server side) to translate the info in the sent XML into an actual event/spell/magic effect ...right?

there\'s at least two questions that occure to me concerning that:
1) why? and what did you/we gain from XML?
2) will the fighting engine also be powered by XML? * imagines ultra-cool-looking and effective combos that he could put togeter *
