Project name is firemox
Launcher is useful to launch a Java application. For our project we'll need 3 launchers.
One for the application : it launches the main program and would be the most often launched.
One for the XML builder : it force the XML build parsing the XML cards to check syntax and build the binary MDB file. For more information about XML building, see this page.
One for text transformation to XML with xxx2Xml. There is Oracle2Xml for example that have an Oracle text file as input and generates some partially completed XML card files. This launcher would be used only a few times.
This launcher will launch Firemox as if you launch it with magic command. But launching it from Eclipse will allow you to debug it.
This launcher will launch the XML card parsing to create the MDB file. Each time you modify a card or some rules, the next time you launch/start the program the MDB is rebuilt. Nevertheless you can force this process without modifying any XML or file or starting the UI program.
You must run this launcher to force update the MDB. Only the MDB file is used by Firemox, not the XML files.
The XML documents are validated against a XSD file defining the syntax of cards but this validation is very long, and also is disabled by default.
To enable it, use the following launcher :
You can find some additional information about XML building there.
As XML format may be a bit long to initialize for thousands cards, we have created this wonderful tool able to generate all the cards of a game. This launcher will parse a given text file and create the XML card files. This launcher would create a 80% completed card. only some complexes rules unhandled (at this moment) are remaining for developer.
You can find a compatible text file there in Allsets section.
Full options are :
-d (destination, directory) DESTINATION : destination directory of generated XML files
-f (file, oracle) FILE : Oracle file downloaded from sites like 'http://www.yawgatog.com/resources/oracle'
-h (help) : print this help message and exit
-v (version) : print product version and exit
