Running into a slight headache. Anyone know WHY im getting that extra </item> tag at the end of this code?

 

<lootcontainer id="36" count="0,2" size="4,3" sound_open="UseActions/open_suitcase" sound_close="UseActions/close_suitcase" loot_quality_template="baseTemplate">
   <item name="drinkJarBoiledWater" count="1" prob="0.15"><!--Attribute "count" replaced by: "JaxTeller718_LessWaterInLoot"--></item>
   <item group="cannedfood" prob="0.5" />
   <item group="junk" />
   <item name="meleeToolFlashlight02" prob="0.1" />
   <item group="medicine" prob="0.1" />
   <item group="weaponsBasicGuns+ammo" prob="0.03" />
   <item group="weaponsMelee" prob="0.03" />
   <item group="ammo" />
</lootcontainer>

 

here is the xpath im using for that

 

<set xpath="/lootcontainers/lootcontainer[@id='36']/item[@name='drinkJarBoiledWater']/@count">1</set>

   <item group="ammo" />
</lootcontainer>

 

here is the xpath im using for that

 

<set xpath="/lootcontainers/lootcontainer[@id='36']/item[@name='drinkJarBoiledWater']/@count">1</set>

 

Compare it to these two examples:

<set xpath="/lootcontainers/lootcontainer[@id='62']/@size">7,6</set>

<set xpath="/items/item/property[@class='Action0']/property[@name='Magazine_items'][@value='9mmBullet']/@value">9mmBullet,NoAmmo</set>

 

I'm guessing the /item, either needs to be removed or named @item, but I don't really know this stuff yet.

That is valid XML, although it may look a bit weird. The modding hooks inserts that comment after each change.

 

<item name="drinkJarBoiledWater" count="10" prob="0.15" />

 

is the same as

 

<item name="drinkJarBoiledWater" count="10" prob="0.15" > </item>

 

Just on a single line xml node, a short cut can be used.

 

If it's causing a parsing error, than that is a bug. But otherwise, I'd expect that line to be functionally the same as the others.

How do i add an item to a lootgroup?

 

I want to add the fuellog to loot group Tools, i came up with this

 

<config>

<set xpath="/lootgroups/lootgroup[@name='tools']/item[@name='fuellog']/@count">1</set>

</config>

 

If you want to add a new line, it'd be append

 

<config>
   <append xpath="/lootgroups/lootgroup[@name='tools']">
       <item name="fuellog"' count="1" />
   </append>
</config>

Is this right to add fuellog to multiple groups?

 

<config>

   <append xpath="/lootgroups/lootgroup[@name='tools']">
       <item name="fuellog"' count="1" />


   <append xpath="/lootgroups/lootgroup[@name='junk']">
       <item name="fuellog"' count="1" />

   </append>	

</config>

 

Close. You'd need to </append> the first one, before you start working on a different xpath command.

So each new addition needs closed?

 

 

<config>
   <append xpath="/lootgroups/lootgroup[@name='tools']">
       <item name="fuellog"' count="1" />
  </append>

   <append xpath="/lootgroups/lootgroup[@name='junk']">
       <item name="fuellog"' count="1" />
   </append>	

</config>

 

Yup! The append looks good.

 

I think your xpath may be a bit off.

 

xpath="/lootcontainers/lootgroup[@name=tools]" may be more accurate, since the loogroup is under the <lootcontainers> node.

Now im confusd. Containers and groups are in different sections? Add the item to the group, and it goes into the containers?

The full error or modlet?

 

 

<config>
   <append xpath="/lootcontainers/lootgroup[@name='tools']">
       <item name="fuellog"' count="1" />
  </append>

   <append xpath="/lootcontainers/lootgroup[@name='junk']">
       <item name="fuellog"' count="1" />
   </append>	

</config>

 

Found it, I think. You have an extra ' after "fuellog".

Case matters. Mind your "L" in log. Make sure it's consistent.

Here is a snippet that I used to add it to various food types. I originally did it for each recipe individually, but you can chain some 'or' commands in the name section to add them all at once.

 

 

<append xpath="/items/item[@name=foodBoiledMeat] /property[@class=Action0]">

 

<property name="Create_item" value="drinkJarEmpty"/>

 

</append>

Be more specific. Where do you want the change?

 

You'd probably have to use append to add the line of code to the drinks you want the jar back added to.

Noob question: Are you able to do a simple operation on a value? From everything I've seen has been hard replacements, but no arithmetic examples.

 

For example:

Value = 10, want to increase by 20% 

<set xpath="/something/somethingelse/@value">*1.2</set>

Will this result in 12?

No sorry, there's no math operation in the current xpath system. xpath is just a method of finding stuff in the XML. The game uses the xpath to make the appropriate changes.
