Is notepad++ available on Linux? Excellent - I've always suffered Gedit, not think there was a decent alternative...

I don't mind helping but could you please tone down the language a bit.

I found this a few times.

First, let me say that I don't use XML, only OpenStep as I find it way easier. As far as I know defining texture like this doesn't work. You can define materials and then define the texture within it but not sure how that is written in XML. This was the only thing I could find. Perhaps another member could help with how to write this.
Second, when I first started messing with shipdata files a year and a half ago it was with XML and I was using notepad. Big mistake. Caused all sorts of hidden problems when cutting and pasting .plists together and had to throw it out. Hopefully this is not part of the problem for you.
For me, gutting a script or .plist to see what makes it tick is far more helpful than reading a description in the wiki. It appears increasingly hard to find good examples of XML to pick apart and do as it does. Well, good luck and hopefully someone can help with your XML problems. Cheers.

The turret might be the problem... CommonSenseOTB said something about copying & pasting plists in Notepad... is that what you're doing now? That could be it...
