 Hi I'm using SCI_Unstable_Revision_7991_on_GameDir_2272on current AIMNAS core version from Github (no idea where to find the version of it other than it was last modified on July 2015).

Also the XML editor version is XML Editor Version: 0.106.1.164 and I'm getting the following message after editing a few of the items from AIMNAS...

Memory: 59,942,224 - Error:
Source: BackEnd
Base Error Type: System.NullReferenceException
Message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Stack Trace: at BackEnd.ItemTable.LoadItemData(String fileName, String filePath)

Target Site: LoadItemData
Available Physical Memory: 6283108352
Available Virtual Memory: 8795343896576

Any quick way or anything I can do on my end? please and thanks!

Please do disregard this message, just discovered that due to the new tags the XML editor isn't an option anymore because is outdated :/

I even tried to go back to older versions of XML editor.


Is there any alternative tool?


The XML Editor has not been updated for a long time. It is recommended to not use it because it might (probably will) corrupt your files. I use Notepad++. You can use any text editor or code editor (not word processor).

 Hello guys!
I think I found out temporary solution. To start xmleditor without errors I deleted line <usHackingModifier>50</usHackingModifier> from laptop in items.xml (item number 1021). Probably in other files there was something about "hackingmodifier" and it was deleted/renamed so xmleditor can't connect this line with anything (I'm probably wrong big grin )
Idk if editor is working corretly. I didn't check it up (After almost 2h of searching for that one line causing errors I don't want to live anymore).

XML editor hasn't been updated since 19 July 2015 and doesn't like new tags. XML editor is currently only good for viewing files, clicking save will eff up your XML files irrecoverably. Probably it's better to let it rest.

 J2 SVN revision 2341 XML does not even load.
Got error message : object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I don't know how you can easily edit some variables without this editor.
For exemple playing with NCtH, i know with notpad++ how to reduce the AP cost to fire a weapon but i have no idea of how many AP cost i actually reduce it.
Plenty of other things like this.

Just see it as safety precaution so players don't break their files anymore using this outdated editor. ;-)
You can still use the editor to view data using the method described two posts earlier.

 In its current state, the only use the editor has is to list all items of a particular class. However, sometimes the editor decides to commit suicide and refuses to reinstart, complaining about some value in Items.xml being out of bounds. As I haven't edited that file, that is BS.

My question is: how do I get the stupid thing to restart? I just want to browse all items of a category to quickly get an item number and couldn't care less about actual editing work in there (which is done in Notepad++). I assume it stores some data somewhere, but where is that? I've nuked my entire 1.13 folder and found no xml folder outside of that. At this point this 'bug/feature' also affects the editors in all other JA2 installations I have, so... this sucks.

I just want the blasted thing to display item pics and ids for different categories, and otherwise bloody fuck off.

I know now that it could never work between us, as much as we wanted to, it could never be! Not because you're a rabbit, but because you're black.

If you want, you can donate to me. This will not affect how and what I code, and I will not code specific features in return. I will be thankful though.

 Hey... I do everything with the editor! Don't you dare to bad mouth it so badly... it's like a beloved pet... (admittedly, it might look like a naked mole-rat... but still...).


Have you set xml working data to true in the xmleditorinit.ini? I have set it to false and the editor always creates a workingdata folder in my data folder. which I always have to delete, because it is way too big for my github updates... but that might be worth trying, i guess?

everything hte editor reads is in data\tabledata afaik.

Is there any hope of the xml editor being updated? I know other apps can be used but it seems logical to use the one that is already there.

And how long has it been since tags we added that would require an update to the editor? Are there plans to add more tags? If not, then perhaps it's time to update the xml editor so it has full compatability again and put the whole issue to rest.

I totally agree that the editor needs an update!

XML Editor complains about several "new" properties in Items.xml because it doesn't know them.

For example these:
<ItemFlag>2147483648</ItemFlag> (protection for explosives)
<usHackingModifier> (modifier for hacking skill)

Yeah, I want to change explosion radius of smoke tear&mustard gas grenades but can't use xml editor... It really needs to be updated so it can be used with new versions of SCIs

Yes. This editor is not perfect. But it is also a very practical auxiliary tool. MOD is very useful in development and viewing.

I really hope someone can update it so that it can be used in the new development version 8647.
