Error: "Data at the root level is invalid..."

Post by broadsword »

After creating my gamebox, I launched ZunTzu and selected the .ztb file to add to my library. ZunTzu gave me the error message:

Error: Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1..

Can't see what I did wrong. Please help!

Here are the game box and scenario files

Here is my game box file:

<game-box

name="PGBN - Scenario 3&#58; Operation Epsom, The First Day"

description="26 June 1944&#58; Gen. Bernard Law Montgomery's plans for Operation Epsom centered on the observation by Allied intelligence that the opposing SS formations held a very long front for their numbers. Montgomery hoped to drive through the thinly-held line manned by elements of the 12th SS Panzer Divison and across the Odon River beyond. As the sun slowly rose, the sons of Scotland formed up in the fields and made ready to move forward. Maps&#58; Use Maps 1 and 3. Game length&#58; 26 turns. First turn&#58; 0745. Other&#58; Units may not set up in or enter hexes numbered 24XX on either map. Two sets of PGBN counters are required to play this scenario."

Hi broadsword!
You probably saved your file as "Rich Text" using WordPad. Make sure you indicate "plain text", or use Notepad instead.

Saving in xml doesn't solve the problem

Post by broadsword »

Thank you, Jerome.

But even after I make sure to save the gamebox and scenario files in xml (doing "save as" all files and manually adding .xml as the file extension) and repacking/renaming the zip files, I still get the same error when trying to load the .gtb file into ZunTzu.

I'm complelely lost, after putting a lot of time into making this gamebox. Everything appears to be correct, so I don't know how to address this problem.

I made my xml files by cutting and pasting the text from your support tutorial. That wouldn't cause a problem, would it?

Hi Broadsword,

If you post a link to your gamebox (or email it to me), I'll take a look at it...

Regards, Bill.

Hi Broadsword,

I've had a look at it and the simple answer seems to be that your scenario (.zts) file is corrupt/unreadable.

Thanks Bill, I changed the name of the game box in the scenario file to match the name of the game box in the .gtb file.

But... even after I checked, tweaked, and re-compressed the .zts file, I still get the same Line 1 error. ZunTzu also fails to locate my countersheets and images.

I'm stumped!

No, your scenario file is gobbledygook when loaded into Windows Notepad - you need to get it into a clean text format. You also need to make sure that all references to counter sheets/images are EXACTLY the same in both the game-box.xml file and the scenarios (.zts) - even down to capitalization.

Regards, Bill.

Another game box - but same error

Post by broadsword »

I must be a glutton for punishment...
Made a Zun Tzu game box for a game that has no digitized version yet, so I can play this monster without having to set it up physically.

I used Microsoft's XML Notepad this time, so I could write the files in real XML and not plain text. I tested my game-box and dummy scenario files by opening them in Internet Explorer, and I've finally gotten them to where they trigger no errors and look perfect to my eye.

Now there's only one error I get on attempting to add this game box to my library: The same dreaded "root level, line 1, position 1"

Here's my game-box.xml file:

Here's my dummy scenario file (which I created as an xml file, zipped, and then renamed with the zts extension and placed with all the other files for my game box before zipping the whole thing and naming the game box "DeathRideSalerno16Pz" the same way as it's named in the files:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" ?>

  </game>
Can anyone advise, or take a look at my files? I feel I'm soooo close to having a working new game box now.

Delete all those dashes "- " at the beginning of text lines in both files...

Thanks Bill, but those dashes aren't really there in the files. IE adds them when the files are opened online to test them -- I think they indicate elements or levels or something. Even working game-box.xml files have then when viewed that way. My post is a cut-and-paste from the IE screen.

Do you want to see a cut and paste from Notepad?

Do not zip the xml file. Just rename the xml to zts.

EUREKA! Merci Jerome.

The game box works perfectly now -- all I have to do is figure out why Section 3 on all my counter sheets is failing to work. I used the same x,y numbers for all sheets, and that works fine. But something in the setting I used on the first counter sheet (GE Counters 1) must be wrong for the third section. Those are the settings I copied to all the other counter sheets, and so all those sheets have non-functioning third sections.

Any ideas?

Yes. I think you used the same front coordinates for the 1st and 3rd sections. It is the same as declaring the first section twice.

Hi,
I have already made some gameboxes that work fine. I am working on a new zuntzu gamebox and I am getting this error message when trying to open it:

XML exception, Data at the Root level are invalid, line 1 position 1

I checked the game-box.xml and scenario files and were fine. Actually, both files are clones taken from a gamebox that works fine.
I did a test. I took a working zuntzu gamebox, uncompressed it, compressed it again to a .zip file (including all the images), renamed it to .ztg, and the newly compressed gamebox did not open and showed the same error.

A few weeks ago, I updated the winRar application to 5.70 64bits. So, I unistalled it and installed again the previous 4.11 version of winRar, but this did not solve the problem. It seems that compression changes the files and cannot be read by ZUNTZU.

Any idea to solve this problem is welcome
Jon
