First off, how do you create an XML file. What program is used?

I use Windows Notepad. The simplest way to start is to modify an existing gamebox...

I did that but could not figure out how to save it as an xml file. That option was not available to me. Also, to download wordpad It appears I only have a 30 day trial version. Is there free ware if I already have word?

Just change the file extension manually.

I wouldn't bother with Wordpad...

OK, do I just open the gamebox file with notepad?

Yes.

Another dumb question, how do I get into notepad?

Well it should be accessible from your Windows Menu...

I found it by runnin the runcommand from my start button pop up. However when I open the gamebox file under all files I get a massive character map and not the program files like your samples.

I tried saving a copy of your example file and it worked. I may want to do a little and then send to you for your review. can I send it through forum or by your normal email?

Yes - either will be fine.

Bill,
I realize I'm not up to speed for sure. Want to try though. Do appreciate your help. Have a good nite and we'll talk again .

Don't know if you remeber me, I'm John Kranz's friend from Phoenix. Been enjoying your system a lot. Doing some palytest for Dan Holtz's expansion for his Normandy game and would like to try and create a play test module. I live a ways from the otehr gamers in the area and find it hard to get players.

I had family in Halifax Yorkshire and owned a home ther for a while.

Dick

Dick,

Just a clarification - ZT is not "my system" (it's Jerome's - he's the programmer). I'm merely a keen enthusiast

Interesting that your playtesting the BfN Expansion - I have a BfN module already partly finished so I suggest that we take this conversation to email...

Regards, Bill.
