Item Rules XML Schema

[AzureusPT]

I've created an XML Schema with the Item Rules XML syntax to make it easier to create or modify item rule's xml files.

With this you will enable validation and/or autocomplete in the rules xml file, making it easier to edit.

Visual Studio

Notepad++

How to use:
1) Download the file and unzip it in the same folder you will be creating/editing your loot rules.
2) Add the attributes xmlns="http://tempuri.org/ItemRuleSchema.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://tempuri.org/ItemRuleSchema.xsd" to the ItemRules tag of the file your editing, like this:

<ItemRules name="..." useRoundedValues="true" xmlns="http://tempuri.org/ItemRuleSchema.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://tempuri.org/ItemRuleSchema.xsd">

3-1) If you're using Visual Studio or Visual Express, add the schema to your project.
3-2) If you're using Notepad++, you need to download the plugin XML Tools, then you can use the schema to validate your xml file.

This sounds really good. Would it be possible to set up a small guide with picture on how to start using this?

Sweet! Thanks for this, the Schema for profiles was very helpful, and this will be as well. I'd also like to take the opportunity to thank you for filling out available options in items (from the item quickstart thread), a very helpful reference
