[Help] Hi Folks! Got a question for ya

[ILOVEJETTROOPER]

I'm trying to add buzz droids to IG-88 and Bossk but it keeps giving me XML parsing bs. I've checked over the files for both a couple dozen times now and its stopped giving me a message for Bossk while IG-88 continues to be a problem. I did copy paste the lines from the Starviper which was working (i'm pretty sure been a while since I've played this particular one) so I'm not sure why there would be errors in the first place. I also added the vipers reflect fire passive if that's another 2 cents on the dollar here...?
Is it something simple like renaming the abilities to the parent vehicle (or hero?) or...?
I cannot for the life of me find the problem so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Probably the best thing for you do would be copy and paste the code for IG88's ship here. (Remember to put it inside Spoiler tags)
Sometimes it just takes a fresh set of eyes to find the error.
When you copy and paste and something doesn't work, its usually down to missing one < or > somewhere.

Just out of curiosty, what are you using to edit the XML files?
If you are just using the Notepad that comes with Windows, might I recommend you take a look at Notepad++.

It has built in syntax highlighting, which makes it much easier to spot any issues.
There are also a range of XML plug-ins for it, to make error spotting even easier.

Hope we can be of some help to you,

Ok, I've laid out what I think the ability section for the IG2000 should look like in this XML file.
I would copy and paste it to a post here, but doing that sometimes messes up the structure of the code. (Puts spaces in the middle of words etc.)
I hope this helps,
AUS_Doug

[ILOVEJETTROOPER]

Hey thanks Doug it works! I had to fiddle with it because I'd done other stuff that broke it while trying to make it work but with the original xml and that pasted in it works great!
Thanks again

[AUS_Doug]

Excellent news, glad I could help.

The code posted is all sorts of messed up
