Myself and a friend have created an XML-based way to
represent the terrain and population centers of an
MEPBM game, and using an XSLT stylesheet to transform
that to the SVG graphical format.
If this is gibberish to you, then skip it<g>.
I have created a new group on Yahoo for people who
wish to simply use this technology for their games,
or to jointly develop this solution further. I am
particularly interested in anyone who has experience
in XML, with XSLT and SVG a plus, and who can devote
time to the project (my own time is limited).
If you are interested, check out this group:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mepbm_map
and sign up if you want to work together.
Otherwise, feel free to download what is there
and simply use it for your games, though you
do have to know XML and have Java and an XSLT
engine (see the readme file).
A good graphic designer or three would also be
VERY VERY welcome.
Send me email at JeremyRichman@compuserve.com if
you have any questions or comments.
