Beta Utility: OOTP World Editor

However, I'm getting an error I don't understand the context of when I try opening the world_default file I want to use. It says:
"TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'id')"

For context, I'm doing the following:
1. Using a modified XML file (Dogzilla's World Name Database 2.0)
2. Using a folder other than the default database folder.

Every time I load it from my folder, I get that error. I have no difficulty opening the default XML from the default folder, though.

I would think this would be caused by the XML database being made in a prior OOTP, but yet a second modified XML I've tried that's based off OOTP 25 does the same thing.

What am I doing wrong?

Maybe I did something wrong posting here? Nah...maybe not enough eyes have seen it.

Even though I might know what a type error is a little more than I did 10 days ago (thank you Google), I still can't figure out why I'm getting one. It does say that you can use a copy of the world_default.xml in the splash screen, so it confuses me as to why the copy of the XML file I'm using isn't working.

Let me know what's worth providing to see if this can get worked out.

I've been using this wonderful editor to create a fictional mid-Atlantic nation called Concordia and its cities, but I seem to have some little snippet somewhere that's wrong. The editor won't load this file, I just get the "spinning wheel."

Here's the header for my nation and an example of 1 city (of my 150+ cities). See anything wrong here?

I'm using the US Historical and UK ethnicities. Did I need to create a Concordian ethnicity instead?

I've only got one state (Test State). Does that population (which is the entire nation's population) need to exactly match the sum of all my city populations?

<NATION id="253" name="Concordia" etid="39" capid="95613" gender="0" bbqual="5" abbr="CON" abbr_korean="와" dem="Concordian" dem_korean="콩코르디안" time_zone="-2.00">
                    <ETHN_PCTS/>
			<ETHN_PCT etid="39" pct="67"/>
			<ETHN_PCT etid="20" pct="33"/>
		    </ETHN_PCTS>	
	              <STATES>
                        <STATE id="3403" name="TEST STATE" pop="51671553" abbr="TES" abbr_korean="오 셨" time_zone="-2.00" observes_dst="0" lat="00.00000" long="00.00000">
                            <CITIES>
                                <CITY id="95610" name="Addington" pop="70032" time_zone="-2.00" observes_dst="0" lat="37.33" long="-30.42" abbr="ADD" abbr_korean="더하다"/>

Thanks for any advice.

The / in the first line is likely the problem.

Well, you're half right! You definitely pointed out an error , but after correcting it the file still won't load. Something else is wrong, maybe a similar tiny error in my cities list. Argh! Off to hunt for it...

Thanks so much! It's amazing how you can stare at code for so long and miss such errors.
