Ok. Finally getting around to playing with xml and script files some more...

I tried renaming a world file from the .MCL extension to .XML. The result, MUSHclient would not load the file while it has the .XML extension. I made the change because I hacked my registry to offer opening XML files in Notepad as an option. I suppose I could apply the same hack to .MCL files, but it seems like it probably should be natural for MUSHclient to open .XML files properly as well.

This raises an interesting point. MUSHclient can process XML world files in two different ways:

  • Edit it (ie. in the Notepad)
  • Interpret it (ie. open as a world file)


I can see your point, however at present the MCL extension interprets the world file, while the XML extension is for editing (eg. a plugin).

Ok... I made the required changes to my operating system to allow me to choose which program I want to open an .MCL file with... So no worries. :)
