Hi, My name is Bob Minowicz, and I've been spending a bit of time lately thinking about a program to track all the data for d20 (particularly D&D though)...
... I'll wish you luck in your endeavor. I'm about 2 and a half years into Campaign Suite as it currently sits, and CS2 is being designed now around the core...
Bob asked, "Also, I notice that the group hasn't seen a post in about 2 months. Is the group no longer active, has work slowed, or is there just some other...
... Hi Bob. My name's Keith. I'm working on much the same problem (so is almost everyone here, I think) for PCGen. ... Sporadically. The PCGen-XML (also at...
... Actually, not everyone. I'm currently about 75% finished with converting the Campaign Suite data-files to XML. This is something I discussed with the...
... That was clumsily written on my part. The emphasis should, I think, be on 'I think just about everyone here is working on the same problem'. It just...
Hi All, I've got a problem that *should* be simple, but I haven't found a way to do it. Formula resolution in XSLT is giving me grief. FWIW, I'm using Saxon...
The problem with this, of course, is "Non-standard" BAB and save progressions - trust me, it's out there. For the CS XML, I've simply implemented a lookup...
... Non-standard progressions aren't a big deal; if I have to I can simply assign the values in the <level> entries (much like a LUT). I can't think of any...
I saw one, I won't mention the book but the progression kinda skipped around, it was very odd, but the class worked. It was something like: +1 +2 +2 +3 +4 +5 ...
So one of the ideas I've been trying to wrap my head around is representing game _rules_ in ML. Please forgive me for it being only half-formed. I'm probably...
... Actually, one of the things that I had to do when proving OGL compliance to wizards of the coast was change how modifiers in Campaign Suite were ...
I'm new here and I am asking because I've already converted the entire spell lists from the 3.0 and 3.5 SRD's to XML using a perl script. I wanted to see if I...
JChamberX said, "In any case, looking at the files section, it doesn't look like a format is worked out yet." True. The version in the files section of the...
... be ... be best ... Well, if I understand xml correctly, an individual group of users who need the modifiers can always augment a pre-existing spec to ...
Quite honestly, I decided to go ahead with my own standard, as waiting for one to be developed and agreed upon is literally taking YEARS. I hope that when I'm...
That I understand. I'm going to move forward regardless, I just thought I'd try to align with whatever is there now. Can you share your basic format for the...
... Hmm, those look pretty similar to what I did. My XML format is a little more plain: I didn't break up the "Level" or "Component" fields, and I don't...
Just thought you'd wanna know, IE 6.0 doesn't like your spell XML: The XML page cannot be displayed Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct...
I've seen yours already and actually have a copy of them on my hard drive (I found them with google when I went looking for others work in this area). I...
... Your assumption here is that it's valid xHTML ... Depends on your opinion about what should be done with a description field. In some cases it's better...
I think it also assumes that people are using the XML for HTML based applications. For, say, a character or combat application, this assumption might prove...
My opinion is that irregardless of how you want to do it, a generic format for a wide range of users should put the formatting characters in separate tags. It...
that's true, but as I said: if the formatting is in the form of escape sequences in the data field then I no longer have the option of ignoring it. I don't...
... Therefore they shouldn't be HTML? I'm just being difficult here, because HTML does require extra parsing -- if you aren't doing a web based app -- and even...
... parsing ... sometimes ... yeah, any formatting characters are going to require extra parsing no matter what they are. That's a given. But if all extra ...
... Hmmm... Why not? How are you "ignoring them" when they're tags? /me would normally end up doing something like a regex, which would work just fine with...
... Double nevermind... You've been giving lots of examples of XSL, which if that's what your using, I can see why it would be easier to ignore tags, then it...
Hmmm. maybe it isn't so easy to ignore them in general but it seems if you are using any generic xml parser, there's an obvious distinction between the data...
