Open the XML in Firefox and if it can't read it, it will tell you what is wrong.
If it can read it then good, that means one of the paths to another file is wrong, or maybe something else.............

Any other info you can tell us to help us figure this out faster?

BTW, I don't think we've ever met, hello, and welcome back to the Glest Forums!

[verarticus]

heh sorry should have said it a little more detailed

anyway when i opened it in firefox it said error with the </splash>   (the second to last line)
and was pointing at the "s"

I'm remember something about splash + unit that didn't have splash = no but i thought that was the particle affect...

Can you post the entire XML, then I can fix the problem.

Ok, I'll fix it.
I can tell you right off hand that any capital letters will cause the game to crash, and you have one in the 'Hero' resource.

[verarticus]

ah OK thanks
(I must have missed that one XD cause i did have capitals first but changed em back)

[-Archmage-]

Ok, I found the problem:

The '</splash>' is not needed, and all the other stuff in between the tags is not needed, because the first splash tag has a '/>' not a '>' at the end.
If you want the splash, simply change '<splash value="false"/>' to '<splash value="true">'.

Oh and remember to fix this:

I can tell you right off hand that any capital letters will cause the game to crash, and you have one in the 'Hero' resource.

[verarticus]

he he oops i wanted the splash XD
(changed it to check something)
ok thanks : )

[-Archmage-]

No problem.
