[XPath Modding Explanation Thread]

That did it <3 Thank you very much!

 

Edit: PS, is the root node always the same? Or is it dependend what i want to change? I couldn't find a hint in the tutorial on the first page.

Your remove's are missing />

 

<remove xpath="items/item[@name='meleeToolShovelStone']/property[@class='Action1']" />
<remove xpath="items/item[@name='meleeToolShovelStone']/effect_group[@name='Power Attack']" />

 

And probably a good idea to add the / to the start of the xpath="/items/item...

 

Well that did help... a little. Also: facepalm -.-

 

Now it creates a new error: "Xml exception: Multiple document element was detectet. Line 3 position 2."

 

It seems there is a problem with a second time altering meleeToolShovelStone. I am sure of that, because i tested the following alternatives:

 

1.) Switching line 2 and 3. No difference.

2.) Making line 3 a comment. New errror: "Xml exception: Multiple document element was detectet. Line 6 position 2." Which is the append command where i add the new code to meleeToolShovelStone.

3.) Deleting everything except line 2. No errors occur, but it does not change anything ingame; the second Action is still the power attack. Same goes with everything deletet except line 3.

 

Here is the currently used code:

 

<!-- Die Sekundنraktion der Steinschaufel lِschen -->
<remove xpath="/items/item[@name='meleeToolShovelStone']/property[@class='Action1']"/>
<remove xpath="/items/item[@name='meleeToolShovelStone']/effect_group[@name='Power Attack']"/>

<!-- Die Sekundنraktion der Harke zur Steinschaufel hinzufügen -->
<append xpath="/items/item[@name='meleeToolShovelStone']">
<property class="Action1">
	<property name="Class" value="Repair"/>
	<property name="Repair_amount" value="30"/>
	<property name="Upgrade_hit_offset" value="-4"/>
	<property name="Delay" value="1.3"/>
	<property name="Upgrade_action_sound" value="ImpactSurface/metalhitearth"/>
	<property name="Allowed_upgrade_items" value="meleeToolHoeIron,resourceClayLump"/>
</property>
</append>

 

 

I am not NEW to coding, but again, i can't make head or tail of it. Following the guide on the first page this SHOULD work, shouldn't it?

Your name="class" is lowercase. It should be: name="Class"

 

Although that's right, it did not fix anything. I also tried

<append xpath="items/item[@name='meleeToolShovelStone']"

 

Just to be sure, i have a folder in my mods folder called "Erkus easy gardening", containing a ModInfo.xml which contains this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xml>
<ModInfo>
	<Name value="Easy Gardening" />
	<Description value="Lets yout till soil with the stone shovel" />
	<Author value="Erkusandor" />
	<Version value="1.0" />
	<Website value="" />
</ModInfo>
</xml>

and a folder called config with a items.xml which contains this

<!-- Die Sekundنraktion der Steinschaufel lِschen -->
<remove xpath="items/item[@name='meleeToolShovelStone']/property[@class='Action1']">
<remove xpath="items/item[@name='meleeToolShovelStone']/effect_group[@name='Power Attack']">

<!-- Die Sekundنraktion der Harke zur Steinschaufel hinzufügen -->
<append xpath="items/item[@name='meleeToolShovelStone']">
<property class="Action1">
	<property name="Class" value="Repair"/>
	<property name="Repair_amount" value="30"/>
	<property name="Upgrade_hit_offset" value="-4"/>
	<property name="Delay" value="1.3"/>
	<property name="Upgrade_action_sound" value="ImpactSurface/metalhitearth"/>
	<property name="Allowed_upgrade_items" value="meleeToolHoeIron,resourceClayLump"/>
</property>
</append>

It creates an error called "Unexpected end of file. Current depth is 2, line 15 position 10." and a second NullReferenceException error "Object reference not set to an instant of an object".

 

I am sry if that's an annoying request, but i'm not deep enough into coding to get whats wrong.

In your first remove, you are removing the Action1. However, your append is looking for that action1 to add to it.

 

Consider removing the class as you are doing, and then appending the entire Action1

 

I changed the second part to the following

<append xpath="items/item[@item name='meleeToolShovelStone']">
<property class="Action1">
	<property name="class" value="Repair"/>
	<property name="Repair_amount" value="30"/>
	<property name="Upgrade_hit_offset" value="-4"/>
	<property name="Delay" value="1.3"/>
	<property name="Upgrade_action_sound" value="ImpactSurface/metalhitearth"/>
	<property name="Allowed_upgrade_items" value="meleeToolHoeIron,resourceClayLump"/>
</property>
</append>

Now it shows me a NullReferenceError. Did i missunderstand the append command?

Hi everyone! I want to change the stone shovel, so that it can till soil like the hoe. I tested it by changing the items.xml manually and it works, but if i try it via mod it generates an error message, so obviously my mistake is in the modlet / syntax. Hope you can help me.

 

I simply want to replace the secondary action of the shovel (power attack by default) with the secondary action of the hoe. Here is my mod-code.

 

<!-- Deleting the secondary action and the power attack -->
<remove xpath="items/item[@item name='meleeToolShovelStone']/property[@class='Action1']">
<remove xpath="items/item[@item name='meleeToolShovelStone']/effect_group[@name='Power Attack']">

<!-- Adding the new secondary action -->
<append xpath="items/item[@item name='meleeToolShovelStone']/property[@class='Action1']">
	<property name="class" value="Repair"/>
	<property name="Repair_amount" value="30"/>
	<property name="Upgrade_hit_offset" value="-4"/>
	<property name="Delay" value="1.3"/>
	<property name="Upgrade_action_sound" value="ImpactSurface/metalhitearth"/>
	<property name="Allowed_upgrade_items" value="meleeToolHoeIron,resourceClayLump"/>
</append>
