Quickstart

DataSheetLang lets you describe changes in YAML and apply them to your game’s XML DataSheet in a repeatable way.

Prerequisites

• You have the dsl CLI available in your terminal.
• You have a local DataSheet folder (the folder that contains files like ItemTemplate.xml, etc.).

1) Create a spec file

Create a new file, for example: items.yaml

spec:
  version: "1.0"

items:
  create:
    - id: 99001
      name: "Training Sword"
      level: 1
      rareGrade: "Common"
      combatItemType: "EQUIP_WEAPON"
      combatItemSubType: "TWOHAND"
      category: "weapon"
      buyPrice: 100
      sellPrice: 10
      maxStack: 1

2) Apply the spec to your DataSheet

From the folder where items.yaml is located:

dsl apply items.yaml --path ./DataSheet

This will read your YAML spec and update the relevant XML files under ./DataSheet.
