Class XMLTileSetLoader

java.lang.Object
  be.saltwater.jaqel.maze.loaders.XMLTileSetLoader

All Implemented Interfaces:

TileSetLoader

public class XMLTileSetLoader

extends java.lang.Object

implements TileSetLoader

Provides support for loading a tileset from an XML file. That file must have the following format:

<tileset name="nameofyourtileset">
        <tile model="relative/path/to/your/objfile.obj" name="tile1" passable="true"/>
        <tile model="relative/path/to/your/other/objfile.obj" name="tile2" passable="false"/>
</tileset>

In the tile tag, the model attribute provides the relative filename to the WaveFront .obj-file, which contains the 3D model for that tile. The name attribute holds the name that is used to access that tile (by a Maze). The attribute "passable" defines whether or not a creature can walk on that type of tiles.
