Everquest’s interface is eXtensible Markup Language (XML) witch is a meta-language.
The reason XML is a meta-language is because XML is a set of rules that a language must use in order to be XML conformant. This means that the developers at S.O.E. can define their own mark-up language for us to use to customize the interface with.
The XML Files can be edited with any text editor like windows notepad. However you may want to search your favorite freeware/shareware site and find an editor that highlights the code for you.
The developers of the Everquest Interface have released some basic information in a file called AboutSIDL.doc. This file can be found in your default interface folder. C:\Program Files\Sony\Everquest\UIFiles\default\AboutSIDL.doc. (location may be different on your computer)
You can find more information and tutorials in our developer forums. |
