XML HELP.

[Qwert]

Pretty graphics are not enough to make a successful map. You also need to think up good gameplay rules and write them down in an XML file. This tutorial will explain how to do that. Don't worry, you don't need any technical skills or special software. Just pay attention and fire up your favourite text editor, such as notepad.

I read very carefyl,and i need to know next step-how to notepad upload to be XML link for map.
I create acount in Fileden site,and now i dont know how,and what i need to do,to notepad become transform to XML link, can someon explane to me step by step.

Once you have finished you XML save your file with the file extension '.xml' (for example 'portugalmap.xml') that means that the file will be an XML file rather than a notepad file.

Once you have done that you should then upload in onto fileden using it's upload function. Once it is uploaded the site should then give you a URL for that file you have uploaded.

[Qwert]

can you give me some programs who have these xml save options.

[gimil]

can you give me some programs who have these xml save options.

You don't need an XML save option, you type in '.xml' at the end of your file name.

[blakebowling]

can you give me some programs who have these xml save options.

You don't need an XML save option, you type in '.xml' at the end of your file name.

If it's saving as "mapname.xml.txt"
Open up My Computer or My Documents, Tools (if you can't see tools at the top press alt), Folder Options, View tab, Uncheck "Hide extentions for known file types", then rename it and remove the .txt

[Qwert]

Hmm,im stupid.
Can you give me some example?
Gilligan tell me to use Microsoft word,but when i save these file,they have 20 options and i dont know what is what.
I use two option who contain xml in hes names,but when i try to upload into Fileden,they say that can not upload.

[Gilligan]

I think he's saying just type in .xml after the file name in Save.

[Qwert]

If it's saving as "mapname.xml.txt"
Open up My Computer or My Documents, Tools (if you can't see tools at the top press alt), Folder Options, View tab, Uncheck "Hide extentions for known file types", then rename it and remove the .txt

i check these and its all ready done.

[Qwert]

You don't need an XML save option, you type in '.xml' at the end of your file name.

If i understand you say that i save in notepad
something like:
Notepad-
Save as-
File Name=Code for Europe1914'.xml'(i try with that but still not working)
Save as type=(well i here only can take two option,its not posible to add nothing)
Encoding=(i have 4 option to use-ANSI-Unicode-Unicode big ensian-UTF-8)

don't save as '.xml' just .xml

also, try saving without the spaces, some hosts don't like those.
EDIT: Try using Notepad ++

Yes, Most of the time the simpler visual program has more technical features.

I'm a Mac user, so I was brought up to mistrust all things Microsoft. I use TextWrangler.

In this case - Word adds in a load of useless shit at the top of the file - that makes it nonXML/HTML...

It sucks.

*high five*

I just use TextEdit for my XML. Honestly, after it's been generated by WM's spreadsheet and had coordinates done by Jota's tool, there's nothing left to do but tweak coordinates, and that's easy enough to do in TextEdit.

NEVER USE WORD FOR ANYTHING LIKE XML OR HTML.

I'm a Mac user, so I was brought up to mistrust all things Microsoft. I use TextWrangler.

In this case - Word adds in a load of useless shit at the top of the file - that makes it nonXML/HTML...

It sucks.

I didn't say use Word to generate the XML, he couldn't save it in Notepad so I just told him to save it in Word, not actually generate it.

It looks to me like you're not closing your continent tags...

<continent>
<name>France</name>
<bonus>5</bonus>
<components>
<territory>Corsica</territory>
<territory>Southern France</territory>
<territory>Central France</territory>
<territory>Northern France</territory>
<territory>Belgium</territory>
<territory>Paris</territory>
</components>
<continent>

That last <continent> should be </continent>
