Problem with simple mod

[Enkidou Zahard]

Hey
I have problem with basic mod to incrase cargo of some split ships
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<diff>
<replace sel="/macros/macro/properties/cargo/@max">25000</replace>
</diff>
Mod looks like that but my ship walues arent changing . What am i doing wrong ?

Without having worked with the X4 scripting language [yet] I can only offer some logical advice here:
If the markup shown by you is the "whole mod" I'd miss the "which ship" declaration. (you mentioned that you only want to modify a certain Split ship). If this information is usually encoded in the "sel" attribute of that replace-node then I'd recommend to check if the path exists / is valid. (if there isn't another node attribute to specify the ship[type] id I'd guess that the ship has to be part of the path)

umm im not sure i rly understood ur post but i placed the mod in same patch that i saw in different mod incrasing cargo space which is extensions/modname/assets/units/size_m
Keep in mind im simple man trying to tweak my own game the top of my moding skill was modyfing some eu games in notepad i even got files of ships extracted by some helpfull guy on discord

Hello and welcome to the forum.
Your macro looks good so far and should work.
It could be that the macro is in the wrong folder and/or has been named incorrectly.

The macros for the cargo holds of the split ships are in
X4 Foundations\extensions\ego_dlc_split\assets\props\storagemodules\macros.
If you want to change one of these macros with a mod, you have to write a macro with the same name, stored in a path similar to the game. So the path must be:
extensions\modname\extensions\ego_dlc_split\assets\props\storagemodules\macros

If you now want to change e.g. the cargo-macro of the M-transporter, you need a macro with the name storage_spl_m_trans_container_01_a_macro.xml. And in this macro you can insert exactly your code.
But then you change the cargo hold for all (new?) split M freighters / Boa in the game.

Be aware that the paths do not necessarily apply to the other races.
For the Terrans, for example, some are in extensions\ego_dlc_terran\assets\props\storagemodules\macros, others are in the ship macro folder, e.g.
extensions\ego_dlc_terran\assets\units\size_l\macros or
extensions\ego_dlc_terran\assets\units\size_m\macros.

So it could help you to unpack the whole game: Getting Started
