Need Some help with a mod

[Union]

Hi guys, i am learning how to make a mod, Below is code i have made to change the bulk storage size in the game. However it does not seems to work. can anyone tell me why and possible show me what i am doing wrong?

Code: Select all

<diff>
  <!-- Changes station storage-->
  <replace sel="assets/props/StorageModules/macros/[@name='cargobay_station_bulk_01_macro']/component/properties">
    <properties> <cargo max="999800000" tags="bulk" /> </properties>
  </replace>
</diff>

try (untested)

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<diff>
  <!-- Changes station storage-->
  <replace sel="//cargo[@max='800000']">
    <cargo max="999800000" tags="bulk" />
  </replace>
</diff>

in a file named cargobay_station_bulk_01_macro.xml

make the \assets\props\StorageModules\macros in your extensions folder and drop the xml patch in

Also read the very good XML patch guide sticky on this forum, and W3 Schools XPath guides for more info

Thanks for your reply.

I could not get it to work however. I think the problem is my selection path. But i don't know what i am doing wrong.

To check error log, open steam client > XR > Properties > game launch options :

-debug all -logfile rebirth.log

and find text log in C:\Users\Me\Documents\Egosoft\X Rebirth\54443424 or similar

that log will tell you what the problem is

Try this.

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<diff>
  <!-- Changes station storage-->
  <replace sel="/macros/macro/properties">
    <properties>
      <cargo max="999800000" tags="bulk" />
    </properties>
  </replace>
</diff> 

If this doesn't work make sure that the xml file is called "cargobay_station_bulk_01_macro.xml"

and that it is in the correct folder: extensions\"your mods name"\assets\props\StorageModules\macros
