Eclipse has XML editing tools, though they can be sluggish for large files, particularly in syntax highlighting.

You still have to edit in text ? or it does provide some king of GUI ?

Its text editor but at least it has auto complete and highlighting, formatting, validating.

It's Eclipse, obviously it has a GUI.

well what I mean by GUI was edit xml without touch the text, and by validation I mean by "property can have that value"

for example : <target race_id="1" /> <!-- Undead -->
Cant be : <target race_id="Undead" /> <!-- Undead -->

So i guess theres nothing

For skills no, there is no XSD because the structure is too fucked up, everything can be anything since it's all <set name="x" value="y">.

Can sameone help me with this part ? skills can have 2 affectRange ? the order of "set" is relevant ?

<skill id="1181" levels="3" name="Flame Strike">
    <table name="#effectPoints"> -204 -243 -285 </table>
    <table name="#magicLvl"> 20 25 30 </table>
    <table name="#mpConsume"> 23 27 32 </table>
    <table name="#mpInitialConsume"> 6 7 8 </table>
    <table name="#power"> 13 14 14 </table>
    <set name="affectLimit" val="5-12" />
    <set name="affectRange" val="200" />
    <set name="castRange" val="500" />
    <set name="effectPoint" val="#effectPoints" />
    <set name="effectRange" val="1000" />
    <set name="element" val="0" /> <!-- Fire -->
    <set name="elementPower" val="20" />
    <set name="hitTime" val="4000" />
    <set name="icon" val="icon.skill1181" />
    <set name="isMagic" val="1" /> <!-- Magic Skill -->
    <set name="magicLvl" val="#magicLvl" />
    <set name="mpConsume" val="#mpConsume" />
    <set name="mpInitialConsume" val="#mpInitialConsume" />
    <set name="operateType" val="A1" />
    <set name="power" val="#power" />
    <set name="reuseDelay" val="4000" />
    <set name="targetType" val="AREA" />
    <for>
        <effect name="MagicalAttack" />
    </for>
</skill>

effectRange and affectRange is different

affectRange = Effecting area of the skill, in radius.
effectRange = How far the skill affect the target

effectRange should have been called skillRange. It's not like the effect ends when the target goes a certain distance away from the caster.
If there was a range for the effect and not the skill then it should be like <effect range="xyz">.

But anyway, the naming of many things sucks in l2j, that's just how it is. The author knows what it is and doesn't care about anyone else.

We name stuff accordingly to our believes. And since when range is described as "xyz" ?

xyz = value, obviously.

Your beliefs don't describe the reality well enough then.
I'd even go as far as to say: "proper variable naming is an art."

Sorry, I most be tired... I dint notice the diference between them XD affectRange, effectRange

anyway if I find "Set" with the same name its a xml error right ?

Yes, there should be no duplicate names.

sorry to be annoying,

Is there any document more recent then this one ? --> http://www.l2jserver.com/wiki/Skills

I found alot of things that are not there like :
<enchant7for> / <enchant7pveEffects> / <selfEffects> / <endEffects> / <channelingEffects>
