(For those curious Jeremy is referring to the guild-improved patch: /pub/CircleMUD/contrib/code/players/guild-improved.tar.gz written by Yohay Etsion.) I haven't done it, but it wouldn't be hard. You'd just have to recode the parser to work with a flat ASCII File instead of the XML files. 2) I know that Torgny wrote a parser for it to save into mySQL and has a snippit for that on his website (http://www.arcanerealms.org, look in the forums under Snippits.) It's a replacement to guild_parser.c. Look at the two files, find the data you need to save to the guild files and then re-write the save routine. =P - Greg Buxton Shadows of Amber shadows.drathus.org : 5000 (Also a former Head Coder for Dragon's Fang who's spent waaay too much time dealing with XML saving and loading.) -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | | Newbie List: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/circle-newbies/ | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
