First of all thanks for helping us out.
However there are some problems

i got 1,2,3,5,6 xml and 9001-1044 is located in 4,5 but also in 6 ??? and not in 3 , in 3 are files like cutscenes goner plot etc. etc.

The file 001-1044.xml does not exist , 9001-1044.xml does tho
There are only 2 entries :
17 object names and descriptions
9001 plugin manager
There is no 300017 anywhere (boardcomp.objects)
(it's also not in "strings in memory" ? )

You said paste the ship in the shiplist, but most will not let us paste (can't paste the ship into the ship list) .
So i had to manualy enter every single detail of the new ship as i could not paste the new ship name with it's stats.
Even then it keep giving me:
Name String [17:2000017] not found. (2000017 is the ships ID) when editing ( adding) the new ship's stats

And jup problems no matter what i do or change , i keep getting my "cockpit" screwed up in the game of the ship i already own and was playing with .
The newly added ship not showing up in a shipyard , it's not even in the cheat" create ship list"

This helpfile should maybe be updated , as there may be new versions available of the x editor or other used programs

Please help me out here , i did mostly of whats said in the pdf file , and been at it for 2 days no without success
Also not sure if it matter whether i have the V1.0 or the new patch installed , as far as i know it shouldn't matter what version the game should be patched at

P.S.
My ship was a Star wars tie fighter m7 without turrets , i have handled as much of the pdf file as needed and didnt' see the need to add any turret lines as there is no turret so i left both tcockpit and components alone
yet the editor added both the files into the working/types folder , i am not sure if it is a good thing or not , i thought only type files needed was the tship file for normal turretless ships.
I am not sure if i should pack the file with or without the 2 files.
Help me out here , i can't get any fighter to add to the game.

When loading the game with the mod added it gives me an error " save game may be corrupt

I'm trying to download this guide but it appears that the file is no longer available?
