[help] Syntax problem, I think.

[Eukatae]

Trying to figure out how to mod x4 starting with test modding equipment mods.
The mod is in the right place and enabled. Not a single replaced or added value is showing up. Makes me think I have a syntax error but....
Original code from equipmentmods.xml:

Code: Select all

<equipmentmods>
  <weapon>
    <damage ware="mod_weapon_damage_02_mk1" quality="1" min="1.35" max="1.45">
      <bonus chance="1.0" max="1">
        <cooling min="0.684" max="0.736"/>
      </bonus>
    </damage>
     </weapon>
     </equipmentmods>

My modded code:

Code: Select all

<diff>
	<replace sel="/equipmentmods/weapon/damage[@ware='mod_weapon_damage_02_mk1']/@min">9.999</replace>
	<replace sel="/equipmentmods/weapon/damage[@ware='mod_weapon_damage_02_mk1']/@max">9.999</replace>
	<replace sel="/equipmentmods/weapon/damage[@ware='mod_weapon_damage_02_mk1']/bonus/@max">3</replace>
	<replace sel="/equipmentmods/weapon/damage[@ware='mod_weapon_damage_02_mk1']/bonus/cooling/@min">9.999</replace>
	<replace sel="/equipmentmods/weapon/damage[@ware='mod_weapon_damage_02_mk1']/bonus/cooling/@max">9.999</replace>
	<add sel="/equipmentmods/weapon/damage[@ware='mod_weapon_damage_02_mk1']/bonus>
	        <reload min="0.682" max="2"/>	
	</add>	
</diff>

Umm where is

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 

Need more info than you gave sorry.

I am pretty certain is the cause here as I believe you already know the above but just did not showcase you have all that setup already with correct folder structure etc...
You never even opened or closed the

Code: Select all

<bonus> </bonus>

tag, and what you do have there in all your replaces and add's is broken

Code: Select all

/bonus>

The original actually is adding the bonus tag

Code: Select all

 <bonus chance="1.0" max="1">
        <cooling min="0.684" max="0.736"/>
      		</bonus>

However, you are not replacing that by looks of things you are adding a new line and you did NOT open the bonus tag for the ADD, and as far as the replaces go you never open the tag either.


I am not sure any of that is even going to work tho, I don't really understand XML that well and frankly I am pissed Egosoft stopped using X3Script.
