Editing .xml Files

[ChrisMatic]

Morning, everyone.

If i wanted to change the amount of coal a mine produces by default, what line or lines would i change in the .xml file created by locotool?

Also, how can i change what product a freight car holds? What line do i change there?

Regards,
Chris S.

Follow the instructions from the tutorial. So you can change the freight.

I am not familiar with buildings. But maybe the user "Emperor Darth Sidious" can help.

Hmmm, thank you, Walter.

In the .XML, just under the description and languages you'll see lines like this:

<cargo num="0" capacity="35">
<cargotype id="8">0</cargotype>
</cargo>

cargo "8" -> goods
capacity -> "35"


This means the first type of cargo this car can hold, some cars can hold more than one type:
cargo num="0"

Here is a list of cargo type numbers used:

It's been long time since I really play into LocoTool, but since yesterday I have tried to edit Oil Tanker (ship), it always show this: Element cargo is inside element description but can be only be a child of chunk.

Even if I drag the original xml file to the locotool.exe, it's still shows that message. I never got this message before AFAIK. Any idea?

[Walter1940]

Sorry, can you make a screenshot from the message? I don't understand the meaning of the message.

So a message I had never in all these years.

Wow, never seen before. Sorry

@Axel- You probably made a small syntax error when you edited the code, though I don't know exactly where. I would just decompile the original .dat file again and redo your changes, unless you feel like searching for the mistake.

I only edit the reliability section to make it 100%, and yesterday I'm trying to edit Lumber Camp and same message popped out. Maybe because I'm using Windows 10?

I don't think so, and it shouldn't be giving that message if you didn't mess with the structure of the code.
