Schema

This directory contains the canonical schema definitions for Petroglyph Star Wars game XML data files. The schema drives editor intelligence (completions, hover documentation, and diagnostics) in the LSP server.

Structure

schema/
  eaw/          Empire at War schema
  foc/          Forces of Corruption schema (extends eaw)

Each game directory contains:

File / Folder	Contents
_index.json	Manifest listing all tag, type, and enum files; consumed by HttpSchemaProvider
types.yaml	One entry per game object type (typeName, optional nameTag, optional description)
tags/*.yaml	One file per XML KeyMapTable; lists every parameter with its value type and metadata
enums/*.yaml	Enum definitions — either schema-fixed (C++ enums) or dynamic XML enums

Tag files

Each tags/*.yaml file corresponds to one KeyMapTable from DatabaseMapExport.xml. It lists every XML parameter the engine recognises for that table, along with:

• type — value type code (e.g. Boolean, Float, NameReference, DynamicEnumValue)
• referenceType — for reference types, the target object kind (e.g. SFXEvent, Faction)
• enumName — for enum types, the name of the enum definition to validate against
• deprecated, availableSince, description — documentation metadata

Enum files

Two kinds of enum exist:

Schema-fixed (kind omitted or schemaFixed) — hardcoded C++ enums whose values are stable across all game installations. The YAML values list is authoritative.

Dynamic XML (kind: dynamicXml) — enums defined in the game's Xml/Enum/*.xml files. The YAML carries no values block; values are loaded at runtime from the file named by sourceFile. Mods may extend these enums. Two of them (GameObjectCategoryType, GameObjectPropertiesType) are bitfields where values combine with |.
