Just the ability to export the said data into text form for bragging rights/sharing with folks who don't have DoomRL installed.

It is not necessary to have an import function.  The output can just be text, or with coloured HTML.  Personally, I think that the normal text output would be sufficient.  The format can follow the usual screens that are used to display the information in-game.

Seconded.

Especially for player.wad. I keep browsing the player info alongside the wiki/manuals to decide which badge to go for, and a text export would be useful.

Text format would be sufficient, but color-coded information would have to be displayed differently from the player info screens (achieved/remaining badges for instance are only distinguished by color).

...there is actually a better plan than this already in the works. I don't want to spoil too much, but regardless this could be a feature as well.

If I may have a suggestion for the more technically inclined... rename the file to player.wad.gz and unpack :>

[Rabiat]

Nice. You wouldn't be inclined to post the XSD for that, Kornel? Or would that be spoiling? ;)

(Unfortunately it doesn't list the unachieved badges, so I can't use it, but thelaptop is bound to get some street cred for casually leaning into the watercooler and whipping out his forty page hardcopy.)

[Kornel Kisielewicz]

There is no XSD for that :/.

Man, this makes the request in the Help Wanted thread for a system to tie these files into the forums pretty simple.

It looks terrible... and requires parsing the XML.

Why do double work when DoomRL already has the right parser for the stuff?  =P

I think that's what Tavana was hinting at.

True :). But I thought that XML would be easier for people wanting to parse it themselves. Also, as it stands, it would be hard to parse Lua through a PHP player.wad decoder.
