Chips a lil help

I probably drive you nutz with so many questions. but..... another one shouldn't kill ya would it?
ok this changes the numbers after the ships in market_ships.ini to make it so you can buy the VHF's on Manhattan it gives me the good ol can't find dest. Here is the part of the script. I know its something so simple but i just can't find it.
<data file="DATA\EQUIPMENT\market_ships.ini" method="sectionreplace">
<section>
[BaseGood
base = Li01_01_base
</section>
<dest>
marketgood = gf2_package, 4, -1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1 ; Is says it can't find this one
marketgood = lf_package, 1, -1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1
marketgood = lfr_package, 1, -1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1
</dest>
<source>
marketgood = coe2_package, 1, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
marketgood = gf6_package, 1, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
marketgood = bwe2_package, 1, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
</source>
</data>

what it probs means is that it cannot find that block - although i am not sure. You see - those don't lie together in the ini file at all, they are separated:
Do this instead and see if it works:

<data file="DATA\EQUIPMENT\market_ships.ini" method="sectionreplace">
<section>
[BaseGood
base = Li01_01_base
</section>
<dest>
marketgood = gf2_package, 4, -1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1
</dest>
<source>
marketgood = coe2_package, 1, -1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1
</source>
<dest>
marketgood = lf_package, 1, -1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1
marketgood = le_package, 2, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
marketgood = lfr_package, 1, -1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1
</dest>
<source>
marketgood = gf6_package, 1, -1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1
marketgood = bwe2_package, 1, -1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1
</source>
</data>

You can have multiple <dest> <source> tags under a <section> header tag, also - please note i refined your entries slightly too - so that you didn't come back saying it doesn't work (as you have them not set to sell). Strictly speaking only 1 number is needed to change to set ships to sell, but it don't hurt to keep what the game has does it?


Also - if that doesn't work, then i suggest you go the <dest> lines - and press delete (the one below insert, not backspace), until it pulls the line up, then press enter to split it again. Reason? For some unknown reason it seems to sometimes not like 'space' left in there, so doing this sometimes makes mods work.
(basically - use delete to make line look like this:

<dest>marketgood = gf2_package, 4, -1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1</dest>

Then press enter at dest tags to make it look like this:
<dest>
marketgood = gf2_package, 4, -1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1
</dest>

That way you get rid of those 'spaces' i was just mentioning.
Good luck
