Re: Weirdness with .xml file

I think I got the files closer to being correct, but I'm still getting an error when I try to add a second row of counters to the water sheet. All my counters are irregular shapes, so I'm using masks with all of them.

version 1.1.0.5
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at ZunTzu.Visualization.w.a(Int64 A_0)

You're expected to provide "front-" attributes for counter sections, not "face-" attributes. "face-" attributes are only for card sections.
See this page for more info.

I don't think it's the cause of the error though.
Can I see your setup.zts file?

All, Jerome replied to an email I sent him, where I'd sent my whole gamebox. He replied with the following:
I see that all your counters are already set out on the table.
Watch out! You're not supposed to mix a modified game-box.xml file with a scenario file made with a previous version of the game box. Maybe that's where your problems come from.
This was indeed the problem. Went back to a more basic .zts file and everything was peachy.
