particle xml isn't validated

[ZaRo]

If you type "<trajectory type="spiral2">" in the particle_proj2.xml (from archmage) the game crashes the first time you fire off the spell.

Well there is no such thing as "spiral2", why did you put it in there?

I know That's the whole point of my post, that I should get an error when I type junk into the xml files (it's called fuzzy testing, and yes, it should not be done by hand, but I'm bored).

The general idea is to have a list of things that I can put in the xml files without glest crapping out on me. (Documentation, anyone?)

Interesting crash though, it must be testing the string only when used, dodgy.

Thank you. Any idea when it will be fixed?

In GAE trunk r306 it will say "Exception: Unknown particle system trajectory: spriral2". We have replaced xerces with TinyXML which doesn't have any schema validation but we should have schema files so that it can be validated externally.

Is this the kind of error you are after?

If it's done when loading a map, yes, then it's exactly what I'm after.

Eternal validation? So you run 'validate' on your xml files and it tells "File abc.xml contains error "blah" at line Bleh"? That would be soooooo awsome! Keep that going
