LINE OF SIGHT. .ai files, .xml files etc

[hagrid70]

Hello hivemind. has anyone messed around with the LOS xml files? im trying desperately to find a way to get some sort of insight into how the xml files work. the ultimate aim of this is to be able to convert .AI files into xml and then add them into my maps. PLEASE HELP ME HIVEMIND, YOURE MY ONLY HOPE.

ANY advice, methodology or experience gratefully recieved.

The LoS xml files are fairly simple affairs. the easiest way to see one is to open up an image and draw all the different kinds of occluder on to it and then right click on the layer and export the xml file. You can then open that up in a text editor to see the structure.

well. if i could get my .ai files INTO dungeondraft, then there would be some utility to this. do you have experience using it?

I was just assuming from your post that you were going to try and write a program to convert .ai into .xml of the right format for FGU. If so, seeing how another tool does that same thing for a different input file type could be useful.
If I misunderstood and that isn't what you're trying to do, disregard my post :P
