data outside container

[Darthma]

Hi,

I am asking for help again. I keep getting this error "couldn't open xml file....data outside container." I am trying to use GameData and display it in my custom mod. I decided to just write a mod that would just display DynamicData="/GameData.Self.Name" in a Text tag, but this doesn't work at all. Any ideas?

Thanks,

A mod to display your name could look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Page Name="MyName" Size="365,30">
<Text DynamicData="/GameData.Self.Name" Font="/TextStyles.VeryLarge.VeryLargeStyle" Name="PlayerName" Size="365,30" />
</Page>

If you leave out the <Page></Page> tags you would get the error message you quoted.

Thanks for your response. I tried your code which looks like it should work, but now I simply get, "couldn't open xml." Not sure what to make of this since the file is in the Custom mod and included in the custom file. I was just trying to generate real time info to the screen and it seems pretty straightforward, but I the window doesn't come up.

See your other thread I guess.

Ok...I managed to display GameData. Another question. Can you display GameData and text at the same time? For example, say I wanted to display:

My name is DynamicData="/GameData.Self.Name"

I notice when I do this, I only see the game data and not the text, but I want it on the same line if possible.

Thanks,

Ignore my previous message. I figured it out.
