Dragonrealms, XML, Health and Mana bars, Roundproof
|
Hello a few questions
1 Has anyone had anyluck with the XML situation regarding the new mana and health gauges if so could you post some finished scripts?
2 Will zMud XP have any chance of being more versitle with the Simu XML encoding and any chance of a new partnership between Simu and Zuggsoft for that.
3 ItsMartys reprint of roundproof wont work for me (or Im not smart enough to work for it!) has anyone got an updated version they could post or some good tips for recreating it. I remember when I had a good version of it from Slydrs home page but that is long gone I believe
Thx in advance for anyones time |

The XML that simu uses is basically MXP, but it's all weirded up. Not sure if it can be successfully captured and removed to make Stormfront mode playable, but the method to go about it is fairly simple:
a)identify what the exact tags are
b)figure out how to write up an <!ELEMENT> tag for that tag
c)attach that <!ELEMENT> to a <!TAG> (this is mandatory, as simutronics doesn't specificly support the MXP protocol and thus all the lines are considered to be secure mode)
The likely fail point is going to be #2, as the XML probably won't fit into current <!ELEMENT> capabilities. Search the forums for the EVENT tag, some other player from some other MUD ran into the same problem.

I'm not going to say never, but other than a couple of new MXP tags I don't see this being likely (technicaly, Zmud already supports XML). |

1)go into Preferences and scroll down to the GSL Emulation page
2)where it says GSL Client, type in Stormfront
3)save, close all windows, and reconnect
4)prepare to be shocked (there's a whole heck of a lot of XML) |
