XML editing Thread

Does anyone have a youtube spot, blog or other that demos and explains how to export an XML file for editing, make appropriate changes (i.e. starting money, initial planet control, cost of ships etc), save and integrate into FOC? I want to make some minor edits to FOC but don't know steps or tools needed to do that. Any help appreciated.

Thanks

If it is XML than all you need is a text editor. Just open it up and find the "tags" you are looking for and change the parameters. You will need to know what tags are used since they will be proprietary to XML. It is up to the developer to know what those are. It is better to open it in something like Microsoft's Visual Studio tools like Web Dev if you you can. Then all the text will be aligned and indented so it is much more readable.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your response. I have opened it with an editor but you hit my problem, I don't know which lines of code to modify...i.e. I want to change to starting $$$ for the rebellion in FOC , what line(s) would I edit? Is there a tutorial or any help to learn how to do that?

Thanks

Well a lot of the time XML is proprietary to the company (or even the game) it is for. So you would have to either find an XML tags list for FOC from the company, provided they released one. Or, and this is a stretch, someone might have figured some of the tags out by trial and error already. Anyhow, I did some looking for you found this. This is as good as it gets. I hope this helps you out! star-wars-empire-at-war mod tutorial
