Is the XML Schema for the application available in any form? DTD XSD etc? I'm writing an app to load/edit/save complete rulesets, and having the XML Schema would be fairly useful. Right now I'm just infering it from the d20 ruleset in the resource.pak file, and doing some trial and error. If its not, for whatever reason, thats fine, it would just save me a little time.
I just got the software the other day, and at first I thought it was somewhat limited, based on a casual glance at the resource data. Then I made a new ruleset, a new character sheet, and realized just how much of how the way the application works is in the XML. I did some experiments and was very impressed, and I have decided myself and friends will all use this application. Because of that, and because I'm the graphics/programmer of the group that actually has a JOB in graphics/programming, I'm stuck writing the rulesets for all the games we play. So clearly its in my best interest to write a tool to make that easy for myself (mainly for big windowclass nodes like character sheets).
Anyway, a schema file would be nice, but isn't necessary. Let me know if something like that is or isn't available. I've already created one based on the existing data and some experimentation. It would not suprise me to find that none exists inhouse, but again, I figured I'd ask =)
