Hello all

I've been playing this game for a long time and I found the modding page on this site, so I gave it a go at a basic anomaly. I was just wondering weather this would work because I cant be stuffed going into a game with only a chance that I would find my creation.

Thanks in advance.

Fixed your post, FYI you need to replace every < with &lt; or else the forum will try to treat it as HTML and it'll disappear.

There seem to be some things missing, but that may be due to the tags being eaten by the forum. Here's how it should look:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Anomalies>
    <DataChecksum NoParse="1">
        <Ignore>Title,Description,Image,Model</Ignore>
    </DataChecksum>
    <Anomaly InternalName="SpaceWarp">
        <Title>Space Warp</Title>
        <Description>We had arrived at a strange absance of time-space accoring to our instruments, It appears although the absence has primed our engines to warp space.</Description>
        <Image>Gfx\\Testhole01.png</Image>
        <Model>6</Model>
        <Quantity>1</Quantity>
        <Commoness>2</Commoness>
        <Power>1.000</Power>
        <Class>1</Class>
        <Type>8</Type>
    </Anomaly>
</Anomalies>

You do need to have all of the required tags present, or it will not work.
