xml <script> errors

Using xml <script> code is dangerous for mods. It overides just about everything. If there is one error in the script it will cause the game to crash.
WHen you are in the mod folder, double-click on the script.xml folder. U should see the colored xml script. If you don't you'll see an error page and it will make your game crash. To fix this right click in open space on the document, go to view source. When notepad comes up with the script go to were the error is,the error page should tell you, and change it. If the error is in the text, and not in the coding, you can delete and change. Remember if you open script <example> you must close it with </example>. If the error script looks good, but still causes an error, just open a good script from another mod and cut and paste the <script> from the good document. Oh and don't use the & character, spell "and", the xml script does not recognize the "&" character. This has caused alot of mods to crash. The mod shipyards crashes when downloading from TLR, because the </script> at the end of the xml document is bad, just complete the process mentioned above, by cut and paste, and it should work. Of course if I've given good directions, if I didn't e-mail me at [email protected], and I will give better instructions. Hope this works.

I have had some XML Scripts that don't show up, but they don't cause FL to crash.

I am only going on experience, and what I had to do to get some mods to work. I may be incorrect about what is exactly causing my game to crash. I downloaded the shipyard mods from the creator's site, mod a,b,c,& d, and could not get them to work. The game would crash in the intro where trent asks "is that a Rhineland Cruiser?" Right after king tells him it's the Dornuea, my game would crash to the desktop. I changed the script error, and it worked. You must be the luckiest gamer using these mods, to not have one game crash because of a script error. I sure would like to know just what does cause your system to crash when using these mods, so maybe I can learn how to avoid them.
