may I have the DTD for the x2 scripts?

Post by _nox_ » Thu, 12. Feb 04, 22:50

I think that's what I am looking for.

I want to be able to effectively edit scripts with third party editors, use good source code control and have a real IDE.

please?

It would not do you much good. you see x2 scripts have 2 sections, an "Readable" version of the code (not used). And a binary array. There is no DTD for what the binary array represents, just the overall XML.

that second section I believe is just opcodes - compiled on demand.

Think java.


So, no answer from devs? Hi, I need the data dictionary.

I think your find its the other way round, the program uses the binary array at all times, the ascii part is so you can read it outside X2. You only have to look at the data entry system to see that, and when moding existing ! scripts to make them editable again. Think Spectrum basic!
