XML tags

[DanN]

Hi, I made up a list of tags used in some of the glest XML configuration files, specifically I've got the tags for the tech tree, resource, unit, upgrade, faction , particle and tileset files.  The descriptions of the tags aren't even nearly complete, but most of them are fairly self explanitory anyway.  If you want to edit the files to make changes (or just to make them less ugly) please do, but don't let it distract you from having fun making units and stuff.

Go to http://http://www.psdweb.org/pub/glest/ to find them.

Just so you know, I got this list by parsing through the source files, so this list of tags should be exhaustive (at least for the 1.1.0rc-1 release of the source (and for the file types specified)).

Hope this helps people with their modding.

Sorry But I Can't Really Read What Your Trying To Tell Us In The Tables And Stuff, Like I Don't Understand

The tags column is tags which are available, the indentation in that column implies that tags of the indented type must be used within tags of the above type (one level of indentation back).  The attributes column is attributes which may be contained within a particular tag and the type column is the type of attribute.  Notes are incomplete, but usually say either the valid options for fields which have certain expected values or that it is possible to have multiple tags of that type.

That was the original meaning of the table ... I'm not sure if its uptodate anymore though.  And sorry for the confusing formatting, I'm sure theres a better way to lay that stuff out, but I was too lazy to find it.

use a good text editor like notepad++ http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/about.php to see & play with xml files. Its pretty good at parsing stuff.
