Need help making an event and enemy ship.

NOTE: MY PROBLEM ISN'T LOADING IT. THE THING JUST CRASHES.
I've been trying to make two things for my FTL mod;
1. An enemy ship (The rebel auto destroyer, a powerful version of auto assault)
2. An event in which you find one, and can battle it as well as many other options.
I've followed this tutorial:
https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id ... mzX32GB-Dw but it's still not working. If you want my code it's here.
Code: Select all
<eventlist name="ADVANCED_AI">
<event load="REBEL_DESTROYER"/>
<event load="DECOY_DESTROYER"/>
</eventlist>
<event name="REBEL_DESTROYER">
<text>You've run into an Automated Rebel Destroyer! You stare at it's complex structure in awe, but it fires a warning shot!</text>
<choice>
<text>Go closer to the ship</text>
<event load="REBEL_DESTROYER_EXPLORE_RESULTS"/>
</choice>
<choice>
<text>Back away</text>
<event>
<text>You slowly back away from the Destroyer and it eventually loses interest in you.</text>
</event>
<event>
<text>You slowly back away from the Destroyer but it chases after you. Prepare to fight.</text>
<ship load="AUTO" hostile="true"/>
<event>
<text>You slowly back away from the Destroyer and it FTLS away. Let's hope it didn't contact the Rebels.</text>
<event load="REBEL_DESTROYER_ESCAPE"/>
</event>
</choice>
</event>
<event name="DECOY_DESTROYER">
<text planet="NONE">You arrive upon a beacon with signals you believed were an Automated Rebel Destroyer, but all you find is empty space. Beautiful empty space however.</text>
</event>
<eventlist name="REBEL_DESTROYER_ESCAPE">
<event>
<modifyPursuit amount="0" />
</event>
<event>
<modifyPursuit amount="1" />
</event>
<event>
<modifyPursuit amount="2" />
</event>
<event>
<modifyPursuit amount="-1" />
</event>
<event>
<modifyPursuit amount="-2" />
</event>
</eventlist>
<eventlist name="REBEL_DESTROYER_EXPLORE_RESULTS">
<event>
<text>On closer inspection it turns out the Destroyer's been long deactivated. The shot was just a malfunction. You decide to take the weapon and some scrap.</text>
<autoReward level="MED">scrap_only</autoReward>
<weapon name="RANDOM"/>
</event>
<event>
<text>On closer inspection it turns out the Destroyer's been long deactivated. The shot was just a malfunction. After looking inside you find a broken Engi. After long thinking you decide to reassemble it.</text>
<crewMember amount="1" class="engi"/>
</event>
<event>
<text>When you go closer to the ship it's hit by an asteroid and it suddenly turns on again! You prepare to fight the Destroyer!
<ship load="AUTO" hostile="true"/>
<environment type="asteroid" />
</event>
<event>
<text>When you go closer to the ship it's hit by an asteroid and it suddenly turns on again! But the pressure from the hit is too much and it blows up, leaving Debris and a weapon floating near your ship.
<autoReward level="HIGH">scrap_only</autoReward>
<autoReward level="HIGH">fuel_only</autoReward>
<weapon name="RANDOM"/>
</event>
</eventlist>
Any ideas? Also does anyone know where to find a tutorial on enemy ships that don't replace existing, it would really help. c: And yes, I have searched this a stupid amount over around 3 days time.

Ta. Ah this is my first event I had no clue what was going on. Oh and the ship loads in game, I found one in the last area

(I'm guessing it's another dumb mistake)
If you could teach me to make it added to the sector that would help too

Code: Select all
<event>
<modifyPursuit amount="1" />
</event>
events always need a text tag with text in it... its basically always a pop up box.
same goes for choices. A choice includes always 1 event and only that. nothing else. Everything else done needs to be in that event (that event can also be an list of events).
I recommend you make a new event since there are to many mistakes in that one.
Make one basic like "hello world" then add more to it step by step.

Oh yeah!
Then when it crashes I know what's making the problems!

code pls,
but generally If you get such glow you are accessing a not existing event, ie you have a typo in the name.
