The idea is that these files should be usable by various libraries to dynamically create the packet definitions. It is used by both the libtpproto2-py and the libtpproto-rb, however both these libraries are dormant at the moment (although libtpproto2-py will get some love very shortly). > Actually I already started writing a source file generator, and it turns out > that this file would be very useful... if it got cleared up a bit.

It should probably validate against the DTD :) > So the question is: is this file an official definition of the protocol? And > if so, could it be made usable? :) It will eventually be the "official definition" of the protocol from tp04 and onwards. A document similar to protocol3.php will be generated from the protocol.xml file (you can see the start of it here -> http://www.thousandparsec.net/tp/dev/documents/protocolxml.php ). The protocol3.php document on the website is the official information about tp03. However, it would still be really handy for the tp03 file to be correct :) > ("Usable" as in "machine-readable"; I'd probably be able to fix the most > obvious problems, like this one: You will have no complaint from us if you submit patches! :) > --- a/protocol/protocol3.xml > +++ b/protocol/protocol3.xml > @@ -1083,7 +1083,7 @@ > </packet> > > > -<packet id="18" base="GetWithIDandSlot" name="GetMessage"> > +<packet id="18" base="GetWithIDSlot" name="GetMessage"> > <longname>Get Message</longname> > </packet> Committed. > or similar) > -KS Really cool to have you aboard!
