SimPE File Table:
---------------------------
SimPe uses a Filetable to locate packed Files. This is used when creating a clon
e. SimPe is searching the FileTable for the needed Files.
This table is built from the content of package Files found in special Locations
. Th Folders where SimPE searches those package Files
can be set in the data/folder.xml File.
Here is the DTD used to process the folder.xml File
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!ELEMENT folders (filetable)>
<!ELEMENT filetable (path*)>
<!ELEMENT path (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST path
root (game | ep1 | simpe | save) #IMPLIED
recursive (0 | 1) #IMPLIED
epversion (0 | 1) #IMPLIED
>
if some ressources are found in more than one location, SimPE will allways choos
e the resource found in the path that that was listed first
