[LAN08] + + +=============================================================================== +General Format Für Benzin [LAN01] +=============================================================================== + +This section explains the general formatting for XMLAN files. +XMLAN is simply an alternate naming to help distinguish between a source file +for BRLAN or BRLYT (the latter uses XMLYT). As you may have guessed, the name +is a portmonteau of XML and BRLAN. This is because the format is XML. + +To create an XMLAN file, you must start the file with: + <?xml version="1.0"?> + +Now you must add your XMLAN entry: + <xmlan framesize="#"> +Change the # in there to the maximum amount of frames before looping. +Don't forget to close the XMLAN tag at the end of your file! + </xmlan> + +Now for the real substance of the XMLAN. For every "tag" (every image with +animation has at least 1 "tag") add the following: + <tag name="xxxx" type="YYYY" format="zzzz"> +xxxx needs to be replaced with the name of the tag in the XMLYT, YYYY needs to +be an Animation type (look at the Animation Types section), and zzzz needs to +be replaced by either Normal or Alpha. You must use Alpha for any RLVC tag that +uses alpha. Like the XMLAN tag, make sure to close this. + +For each "entry" in the tag (each animation has an entry) add: + <entry type="xxxx"> +Where xxxx is the animation type (see the page for the tag that you are using +for names). +Then, inside of the entry, you put your "triplets" (The value for the entry at +a specified point) + <triplet> + <frame>xxxx</frame> + <value>yyyy</value> + <blend>zzzz</blend> + </triplet> +xxxx is the frame to have the set value, yyyy is the value to set, and zzzz is +the blending value (so it doesn't appear all choppy). Check the entry type's +info to see what the value affects. + +You need multiple triplets for an animation. If you only have one, it will just +be static. Very boring =]. + + +=============================================================================== +Animation Types Für Benzin [LAN02] +=============================================================================== + +TODO.... + + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + >>>> RLPA Für Benzin [LAN03] +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +TODO: Maybe more description.... + +This is probably the most used tag type of all, it handles many different +actions in one.
