Import existing MDG Technology, and modify it?
« on: July 17, 2013, 07:00:55 am »
Hello,

I've found a bunch of tutorials on how you can create your own MDG template from scratch, however, those seem a little complex. I'd rather just tweak an existing one.

I noticed that in the folder EA\MDGTechnologies there already are a bunch of existing technologies, in XML format. So, I was wondering if instead it was possible to import any of those, and use it as an example. Maybe change a bunch of things, and save it as a new version... I've been trying to import MindMapping.xml, because of the easiness of that diagram, but I haven't succeeded so far.

Is this supported by EA? If its not, what should I use to do this? I do have visual studio, for example..

Thanks

qwerty

No. It's not supported. The reason is likely that Sparx looks at MDGs as a sort of compilation where you get the code, but not the source. It should not be too difficult to write a cross-compiler for MDGs but no one has ever done this (at least no one posted it here).
