Howdy all! I'm looking to refine John Kim's monster XML a little, by adding in some form of "base classing" for similair monsters and types. I know we've...
... I've gotten motivated over the last few days to build some better XML parsers and to really tackle the modifiers issue in code. I think that's the only...
... Cool! Would you like to see what I've done for creature's that only have slight variences, like Hydra? It was an interesting exercise, because I could...
... OK, I've posted a sample monsters.xml file with two of the hydra entries compressed into a single entry, and then provided an XSL to expand them back out. ...
... I'm working on PCGen and will need to encode monsters. I'm currently considering something like: <monster id="" name=""> <stat-block> <!-- stuff --> ...
... I'm using embedding right now, because I wanted the files to be entirely processable (is that a word?) with just pure XML tools. I don't know how to do it...
... Sure. The model I was replying to had the variants embedded, but it's far from necessary. <monster id="srd:xorn" name="Xorn"> <stat-block /> </monster> ...
... I didn't get anything here.... Dave, you PGP signing is screwing with your messages.... ... the base ... That's what mine does, the Variants override the...
... I just got out of a meeting, that I'm loosing (I want to have company purchase X, manager wants Y) -- so I may not be thinking straight -- but, uh, isn't...
... Not necessarily. I was assuming a presentation similar to that of the MM -- to use my example above, you've got 'Xorn' entry, but it has three sub-entries...
... I wasn't concerned about "presentation" -- I was just looking for a way of going from "compressed" format to "expanded" -- but ya, now that I've had lunch,...
... I think -- with suitable DTD -- that the following should do what you are asking for. When extending the stats used, you should be okay with just updating...
... This would be much better. ... That is where I kept stumbling, I couldn't figure out how to get the "other" node, for comparison. I like this solution. If...
... I've been describing it for a good chunk of this thread... or am I not understanding your question? What I'm referring to is specifying the relationship...
... Only problem here I think, is that dragons of given color does not share so many abilities between ages... Maybe if you would base monster.dragon.red.adult...
... Perhaps, but an adult red dragon is not a young adult red dragon. The relationship is an 'is-a' relationship. While the amount of data entry saved is...

Ok I am just getting into the XML idea. I need to know what is teh best XML editor/viewer available for my insuffiecient funds. Or even better, where can I get...
Does anyone know if there will be a schema for the Mastertools XML output? Please don't confuse XSL with schemas. I don't mean a DTD either, they are not near...
First, I just joined this group today. I've read the FAQ, studied most of the other documents, and think I mostly understand the work that has been done so...
... By 'provide a conversion' do you mean redistributing versions of older modules, or just re-releasing 3e stats for older modules (for critters, traps,...
