Sounds like the XML file is somehow invalid.

Are you sure you have text in all fields in the XML file under your selected language ? Empty fields are a possible cause for this.

I've added you on steam, I'll send you the file, it seems fine to me but I'm not 100%

edit: Actually here's a link to it https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aBFhGYFXTd6qJ6tug5euEbpPJV5ksz5UmeADyaTAtMo/edit?usp=sharing

Not entirely sure, but a possible cause might be the SCENE ID's. I don't know how the parser works exactly, but a space can screw it up if it's read out a few specific ways. Can you try either appending the words together (i.e., LesserDraconianHatchling) or replacing them with underscores (Lesser_Draconian_Hatchling), relinking them in your mod, and trying again ?

I've updaded the file and I'm having the exact same issue, right down to the same error message, I think I've tweaked it to what you suggested but im not 100%, would you mind taking a look? If it is how it should be, any ideas?

Can you put it up somewhere that doesn't convert the file type ? Google docs version looks OK, but that doesn't mean the XML version behind it does.

Alternatively, changing the file extension to .txt before putting it on google docs should work as well. It'll give me a chance to take a look at how the file looks to a computer.

yeah, that, but of the xml file that contains the data ? This is just an empty xml...(and would be unreadable to AoW, btw.)

Only the middle part is valid XML, btw. if whatever editor you use makes it look like that, get a new one.

Not sure if steam is going to show this....

This is the only valid XML in there:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <office:document-meta xmlns:office="urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:office:1.0" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:meta="urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:meta:1.0" xmlns:ooo="http://openoffice.org/2004/office" xmlns:grddl="http://www.w3.org/2003/g/data-view#" office:version="1.2"><office:meta><meta:initial-creator>Oskar Borton</meta:initial-creator><meta:creation-date>2016-11-24T12:02:11.98</meta:creation-date><dc:date>2016-11-25T18:21:01.22</dc:date><dc:creator>Oskar Borton</dc:creator><meta:editing-duration>PT25M28S</meta:editing-duration><meta:editing-cycles>12</meta:editing-cycles><meta:generator>OpenOffice/4.1.3$Win32 OpenOffice.org_project/413m1$Build-9783</meta:generator><meta:document-statistic meta:table-count="1" meta:cell-count="39" meta:object-count="0"/></office:meta></office:document-meta>

It's openoffice as I don't have excel but it functions in a similar way - what would you suggest?

Never said anything about excel.

Can you rename that file that doesn't work to a .txt file, instead of a new one ?

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Z7trLBcWOrWDRpYzB4bDBwaTQ/view?usp=sharing Here it is in .txt format

Redownload the official example.xml, rename it, and put your lines in there, see if that works. You made this one yourself, and it looks like openoffice really screwed a few things up. No decent XML parser can read that.

We've had some issues with Team Members editing the file open office, so that might well be the underlying issue. There is some disagreement about how to do XML iirc and ours was made to work with Excel. Do seem to remember modders found workarounds for that ...
