Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Sounds completely worth it.

Like anyone is going to be editing configs every minute. If you were to, you'd make an application to write the configs which in that case it wouldn't matter which format you use.

<3 Now thats thinking! Now make the program write packet style configs(Remove field names and seperators) and thats exactly what i thought about 2 years ago when I thought along the lines of simplifying the configs at the users level and making it really efficient at the servers level.(Long sentance eh? Holy fuck and I'm talking to the grammar nazi.. Oh well shit happens)

Funny. Your sentence was correct anyway xD (for the most part

)

True but when I move all cfgs to xml ones and make them readable for stupid kids and add a more readable app for more stupid kids who cant even edit xml file so then HB server files will be friendly for all stupid kids who are posting stupid questions. Am I wrong ?

Simple potion CFG:

Code: Select all

....
potion = 1   RedPotion           220 1  192 1  191 1  -1  0 -1  0 -1  0          20          10
...

Same as XML:

Code: Select all

...
<Potion SkillLimit="20" Difficulty="10" Name="RedPotion">
<Ingredient ItemID="220" Count="1">SlimeJelly</Ingredient>
<Ingredient ItemID="192" Count="1">AntLeg</Ingredient>
<Ingredient ItemID="191" Count="1">SnakeTongue</Ingredient>
</Potion>
...

And no need to put ID in every cfg line - just use lists instead of arrays.

But I doubt anyone would ever use it. Why go through all the trouble? I myself prefer to use the old cfg files, just optimized a bit like Dax said.

ewww @ XML
.CFG > .XML

XML Is fucking retarded..
In the future it would bring problems
Parsing/Decoding = too much resources..
Who would bother wasting time on it?
Seems pretty useless to me...
Any major helbreath dev is gunna laugh at it.
And there gunna say and i quote
"Whats the use in making it XML When i can do the same shit 100x easier with a CFG? it seems pointless to add a diffrent file format to read something thats going to be edited once in a blue moon, server files are for effeciency not to paint a pretty picture."
im done now :rolleyes:

Your retardedness level outweighs the value of your opinion. Go die.
