Map Database Format Question
|
Hi, I'm attempting to write a mapper to use with my Linux client. I took an old database from ZMud, and converted it straight to XML. I'm now parsing the XML files into my mapper, but I'm confused about a few of the database fields, and would like some explanation of the fields, please (I'm assuming that the fields were preserved through the conversion). Here are samples of the tables that I'm working with:
| Code: |
<ObjectTbl>
<ObjectTblItem>
<ObjId type='Number'><![CDATA[1]]></ObjId>
<Name type='Text'><![CDATA[Serpentis Boulevard.]]></Name>
<IDName type='Text'><![CDATA[]]></IDName>
<Hint type='Text'><![CDATA[]]></Hint>
<Desc type='Memo'><![CDATA[The buildings making up this part of Serpentis Boulevard are markedly different from the others that line this wide, paved avenue. Tall granite buildings border the road at this point - taverns and brothels being the main constituent. Around a small bend in the road to the east, you can make out the busy intersection known as the Crossroads. While to the west, the brothels and taverns common in this area, give way to elegant houses.]]></Desc>

Also, in the ObjectTbl, the X, Y, and Z fields -- are those relative to the entire world map, or just to the local zone map?

The plain X, Y, Z fields are relative to the entire world map. You can see this in action by creating a few rooms in a zone, then sending one to a second zone, then drawing a few more rooms in that second zone, then moving the last-drawn room back to the first zone.
Obviously, the ExitX, ExitY, and ExitZ fields are relative to the room they are attached to. |

The format for the color is directly how Windows uses it $BBGGRR. A value of -1 or $FFFFFFFF is used to signifiy no color defined, use default.
