There is no need for all this - the RSC format is simple and strictly defined. All you need is to be able to load/save a human readable version in a RSC editor, and have a small command line tool to compile/decompile these files to/from the RSC binary format.

XaAES is This can be done with very little effort in the AES, but it requires a new RSC editor to handle the new format. > BTW, as a temp solution, something like python could be used to do xml > and xsl to rsc binary... there is a new package available from Mikro > that works natively.. Sounds really slow to me. Way to complex to be beneficial. Remember, the point in a human readable format is to make things easier to the developer and maintainer, to trickier. Jo Even
