Hello,

Starting off, I am running JA2 1.13 version 8408 (GameDir 2364), with the most recently updated AIMNAS (can't recall version, but it was the latest unstable build as it was downloaded 5/25/2017). I have an original backup of the Items.xml that works fine as well.

I have edited the Items.xml, adding more weapons and gear not normally sold on Bobby Rays by adding "<BR_NewInventory>5</BR_NewInventory>". However, upon starting the game, I get a runtime error:

"Runtime Error

File: Init.cpp / Line: 293 / Function: LoadExternalGameplayData

Items/Items.xml (red text)"

"File: Init.ccp / Line: 1465 / Function: InitializeJA2

Loading external data failed (red text)"

How can i fix this? Are there other factors (maybe <NotBuyable> is conflicting?>

Another question: is there any way to get XML Editor to work? The editor only starts up if I don't have AIMNAS, but refuses to start if AIMNAS is in the JA2 folder.

Thanks!

Afaik the game doesn't really check for plausibility but it will go haywire over syntax. Best to load up your xml and an original side by side in a tool like winmerge and check for things like out of place opening/closing tags, dots or commas in integer attributes or missing/extraneous reserved characters like '<,>,/' in your edits.

Or do an auto xml syntax check with notepad ++. ;)

Sorry for the late reply; I will certainly try it out and report back later!

Got it! Some random invalid character (two D's in a black box) that my other XML Editor didn't pick up. And after removing it, it launches without error! Thank you Smeagol and DepressivesBrot!
