server list
Example for local servers.xml:
<servers> <import>http://www.themanaworld.org/servers.xml</import> <import>http://www.gpl.violating.fork.we.dont.like.freewebs.tk/servers.xml</import> <server> <name>Local Server</name> <host>127.0.0.1</host> <port>9601</port> <description>my server</description> </server> </servers>
Example for servers.xml pulled from the web:
<servers> <import>http://www.tmwforkwelike.org/servers.xml</import> <server> <name>The Mana World</name> <host>server.themanaworld.org</host> <port>9601</port> <description>Official server</description> <icon>http://themanaworld.org/tmwlogo_32x32.png</icon> <update>http://updates.themanaworld.org/someupdate.zip</update> <update>http://updates.themanaworld.org/moreupdates.xml</update> </server> </servers>
account file
The account file should map to servers by hostname instead of by servername because servernames can be spoofed easily.
<accounts> <account host="server.themanaworld.org" name="JohnDoe"> <account host="127.0.0.1" name="JohnDoe"> <account host="tmwfork.homeip.net" name="JohnDoe"> </accounts>
