Editing RCOXML Coding

=Description=
RCOXML files are the XML descriptor files implicit inside [[Resource Container (RCO)]] files (.rco)

This RCOXML files doesnt exists inside the .rco container, tools like [[Rcomage]] extracts the info as XML as a representation of the data inside the .rco container

Are composed by tables, some of this tables works simply as an index of the contents inside the container (texts, sounds, languages), and others tables contains "pages" that builds the XMB items, animations, effects, dialog menues, selection windows, widgets, etc...

Note the name "page" here in wiki is used as a generic name for all types of pages, rcomage uses specific names for some types of pages wich purpose was identifyed, this names can vary between different versions of rcomage tool

For specific examples of the contents of this rcoxml files see the [[Plugin Interfaces]] page, most resource containers (.rco) uses the same name than his associated plugin (.sprx), but there are a few that doesnt follows this rule so is a bit harder to know from how many plugins .sprx can be called (and this is a problem for wiki by now because the way pages are ordered and named)

== RCOXML Structure ==
Not all nodes below are required, and various object/anim entries are omitted.

 RcoFile - XML root element; generally does not need to be modified
 	MainTree - root RCO node from which everything must descend from
 		VSMXFile - attached UMD virtual machine instruction code, for UMD and some LFTV RCOs.  Only one may exist in an RCO file
 		ImageTree - parent node from which all image resources descend from
 			Image
 			Image
 			...
 		ModelTree - parent node from which all model resources descend from
 			Model
 			Model
 			...
 		SoundTree - parent node from which all sound resources descend from
 			Sound
 			Sound
 			...
 		ObjectTree - parent node from which all object pages descend from
 			<Page>
 				page objects go here
 			<Page>
 				page objects go here
 			...
 		AnimTree - parent node from which all animation sequences descend from
 			<Animation>
 				animation entries go here
 			<Animation>
 				animation entries go here
 			...
