XM-HELL

Recently in the course of my employment I was called upon to edit a small xml file. The file was loaded with bad programming practices and clumsy patches. I shouldn't be too critical, after all I am not a programmer and this file has been edited over the years by at least four people.

That being said given my personality I fixed it and then re-wrote it. It was frustrating and annoying (just like my hobbies and friends). In the middle of this, it occurred to me that Army Builder 3 uses xml files as the basis for its database.

So I took the tiny amount I learned and decided to tackle the job of writing the WAB 2.0 army list files. Four days later they are ready for testing. I am still finding things to edit and given my natural ADD & OCD I am sure I will do a complete re-write of them soon as I get some feedback.

So far I have data files for Early Imperial Rome, Dacian, Briton, German, Gallic and generic Barbarians.

Now where is that paintbrush?
