MWML.
Why don't you guys make your own mark-up language for the game like how Globulation and Wesnoth are doing it, that way you could get more progress done in the game's development because the XML like language would be much simpler than C++ and would probably be more flexible.

We're actually moving a lot of stuff to XML. At least sprite animations and item, monster, equipment definitions and maps are stored in XML. Eventually maybe we'll also like to define the GUI in XML, but so far coding it in C++ is fine.
What exactly is your point though, what would be described in this MWML?

Re: MWML.
If you want to hammer in a nail into a piece of wood...are you inventing the own hammer or you just go to a friend to borrow one? In Open Source projects using standard tools is a good idea. Have you noticed the development of free software is quite related to how many weird things it depends to? Write the new MWML parser and implement it in the client? What for. There is XML installed by default in any OS, ready to use.sixpointnine wrote:Why don't you guys make your own mark-up language for the game like how Globulation and Wesnoth are doing it, that way you could get more progress done in the game's development because the XML like language would be much simpler than C++ and would probably be more flexible.

By the way: On the new server we plan to implement some of the game mechanics in a common scripting language. As far as i remember Ruby was chosen for that task.
Why reinvent the wheel and write our own scripting language when there are people out there who already developed scripting frameworks just waiting to get used in other projects?
