[Solved] Update on "Simple" XML Issue

[RPINerd]

Okay so I'm stumped here, clearly I don't understand how the game loads mod files.. here is the exact code - in it's entirety - that I've got in my testing file at extentions/testmod/libraries/wares.xml:

Code: Select all

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

<diff>

<!-- Terran Unlocked: Purchase the Syn and Asgard once you're idolized -->

    <replace sel="/wares/ware[@id='ship_atf_l_destroyer_01_a']/@tags">ship</replace>
    <replace sel="/wares/ware[@id='ship_atf_xl_battleship_01_a']/@tags">ship</replace>

</diff>

It does nothing...

BUT, when packaged into a 'ext_01.cat' and 'ext_01.dat' file, it works exactly as intended... what on earth is the difference? I've never had any of my fiddlings not work simply because they aren't packaged


Also, thank you to those that replied on my first post, all of your suggestions gave me more practice and insight on debugging, but clearly this problem is not about the syntax I'm using

You have to used this path : extentions/testmod/extensions\ego_dlc_terran\libraries\wares.xml

Most likely you are not making your mod dependent on COH so it is ignoring your changes.

Add this to the content.xml

<dependency name="Cradle of Humanity" id="ego_dlc_terran" optional="false"/>

Oh..oh no...oh god.. this whole time..

This was it the whole time, my mod has literally not been doing anything to the expansions because it wasn't listed as a dependency..


Thank you so much BlackRain!

No problem, I made the same mistake myself.
