World of Warcraft UI Customization

Posted by Zonk on from the all-depends-on-how-you-want-to-see-it dept.

geekboy_x writes "The gang at Blizzard has released a UI customization tool for World of Warcraft. It basically breaks the meta-interface into individual XML descriptions that you can change, add, or omit to your (corrupted decaying undead) heart's content. Note that you should have pretty good chops in both XML and Lua, and if you break it, you bought it." The best known UI project out there for WoW right now is Cosmos, which adds a few extra hotkey bars, a clock, a quest manager, and a nice buff/debuff timer.

    So, tell me how the XML aspect makes this substantially different from, say, Quake scripts?

    Or is it because XML is just the flavor of the year when it comes to data representation?
