External XML in Shiva3D

 
This video goes over how to access an XML document from within Shiva3D.  I like the idea of putting your settings in a separate file because it makes it so much easier to update them when needed.  The heavy lifting for this video came from the Shiva website - http://www.stonetrip.com/developer/377-xml-manipulation.  I simply did a google search for "xml shiva3D" knowing that it would direct me to the appropriate page on their site.  Once I figured out how to do it, it was pretty easy to implement in the game.

Also, check out http://www.stonetrip.com/developer/doc/ for api and manual information and http://www.stonetrip.com/developer/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page for the wiki which has a ton of useful information.  The forums are at http://www.stonetrip.com/developer/forum/ so stop in and say hi or ask a question - I'm wdtracy.
