Check also the length of your texts. If it doesn't fit inside one game event screen window thing, it will crash. and yea go through and make sure all your choice and event etc tags have correct nesting

you have "unrecogniced" instead of "unrecognised" in one of your texts. this wouldn't cause crashes, but needs fixing anyway :D as for actual errors in code: <choice hidden="true"> <text>Engage the ship. You dont have time for this.</text> <ship hostile="true"...

try to limit yourself to using 1x2, 2x1 and 2x2 rooms, unless you're going to change completely how the no-oxygen graphics are displayed, you'll have incorrect striping otherwise.

<bp> is just a refence value for the devs concerning how powerful something is. e.g. if you look at weapons, you'll notice the stronger ones have higher bp, and vice versa. it doesn't do anything ingame as far as anyone's been able to tell

For beacons/events, here's a few things I'd like to see: 1. store customisation - able to set which categories appear, possibly specific items, custom prices on repairs/fuel/ammo, custom buyback % prices? so some stores are more expensive but also pay more? 2. beacon persistance - the option to set ...

I'd prefer all beam effects to be per-tile, that seems to make more sense. If you go across 3 tiles of a room, that should hurt just the same as going across a corner and clipping 3 rooms. Also, not sure how possible this would be to implement, but how about beam effect based on how much of a room y...

firstly, make sure you've named it sector_data.xml.append - don't forget append on the end
secondly, try just adding your event to the bottom of the list of event names, instead of removing them all.
if that works, then remove them 1 by 1 from the bottom until it stops working.

they stoled my idea :x

Also make sure your images are all saved as 32-bit PNGs. Not 24-bit PNGs and not any other format, because PNG-32 is the only type that the game will accept and render as images.

Firstly, it should be <event load="NAME"/> in all places instead of <event load="NAME"> i.e. don't forget the / Secondly, you cannot do this: <event> <event load="NAME"/> </event> Instead you must do this: <event> <choice> <event load="NAME"/> </choice> </event>
