XML Extensions is a framework and modding tool that is focused on extending the general functionality of XML mods. This framework adds many more patch operations and allows for the easy creation of mod settings in XML.

More Patch Operations
XML Extensions includes many new patch operations for modders to use. These operations are much more powerful and dynamic, and allow you to basically do programming in XML; you have access to if-statements, for-loops, mathematical operations, etc.

Create Mod Settings in XML
With XML Extensions, you can easily create mod settings for your mod, all in XML! You may use these settings to toggle patch operations, change values within your patch operations, or use them in C# to do anything else.

Enhanced Error Reporting for XML Errors
With XML Extensions active, all XML patch errors will now generate a stack trace as well! This means that you can figure out exactly which patch failed, and in some cases, it will even tell you what part of the patch failed. All you need to do is have XML Extensions activated in your modlist while testing your mod.

Here is an example of a trace for a broken patch (you can easily figure out the error is that the letter "N" should be capital in defName):



The vanilla error message for the exact same patch (only reports the parent patch, not the one that actually failed; no clue as to what went wrong):



There is a standalone version of this feature as well.

How to Use
To use this mod as a user, just load this mod after core and the DLCs, but before all other mods that depend on it. As a modder, you need to mark this mod as a dependency in Steam Workshop, and include the dependency in your About.xml.

I am willing to take suggestions for improvements and additions to this framework, and will try to fix any bugs reported.

I have released another update containing many changes. For modders using this framework, I highly recommend you read the "Important 1.6 Information" page on the Wiki to get a summary of all the most important changes I have made these past few weeks.

Unsubscribe, and manually delete the mod files, then subscribe again, that should fix it

I don't know why that error is happening, it should be fixed by now. The new RimWorld update is going to release soon. Let me know if it still occurs in that version.

I am not sure what is going on. All of those mods work on my end, both in version 1.5 and in beta 1.6. Try to make sure all of the mods are updated.

Based on the error, it seems your XML Extensions version is outdated. The error “XML error: <decimals>3</decimals> doesn’t correspond to any field in type Numeric" means that your version of XML Extensions does not have the <decimals> node which I added recently.

@Imranfish the mods that need it are "un-limited reborn" "advanced mechanoids" and "expanded prosthetics and organ enginerring-forked"

@rogywantscoffee #1 hater You are probably running the default RimWorld 1.5. First, try to unsubscribe and re-subscribe to this item to force Steam to update it, if you haven't already tried.

If the bug is still there, then could you let me know which mod you are using that requires this one?

@Imranfish i have no idea how do i check?

@rogywantscoffee #1 hater That error seems unrelated to what I just fixed. What version of RimWorld are you playing?

Reporting the errors that I had are gone. Thank you.
