An excellent debugging tool from xml scripts is..............................Microsoft Internet Explorer. Open the file with that

It will highlight problems for you.

Onto other issues - what do you mean you have found the wrong file?

The wrong file is mentioned because i wan'ted to edit the starting ship.....

The problem i have is the FLMM says the i can't find ge_fighter in new character under package and i was wandering why??????

And also is there any thing wrong with the way i have layed out the code and or set it up.....

edit: Internet Explorer opens it fine with no trouble....

for a start remove the id entry from
<item id="2" name="Banshee">
<item id="3" name="Barracuda">
<item id="4" name="Bloodhound">
<item id="5" name="Cavalier">
<item id="6" name="Centurion">

and replace with

<item name="Banshee"> etc.
you have declared the format is 1:1 so the script will assume after the anubis which starts at 1 that the next is 1:2,1:3 etc. cos you have them all in order

Done but it still doesen't work ?????

Here's the error

Error: FLMM has determined that 'Test Start Player Ship' won't properly activate.
Error: Unable to find dest 'ship = ge_fighter' in 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\DATA\CHARACTERS\newcharacter.ini'

Thanks for helping by the way

a tiny mistake but critical

you have
<data file="DATA\CHARACTERS\newcharacter.ini" method="sectionreplace" option="1:2">

you need to have options="1:2" not option="1:2"

repeat for all the others and it will work

Thanks so it now works....

edit: spelling errors...
