Bad xml file for savegames

Pillat:
Hi,
I am new here, but played UFO:AI for a long time now.. I started with XForce: Fight for Destiny, but that game was/is not finished at all and it was quite fast very boring.. so I downloaded UFO:AI some time ago and it is still awesome to play.. but unfortunately, I can't finish the campaign because at a certain point, my savegame(s) get corrupted, and all the game says is 'Bad XML data' or something like that, and then I can start from 0.. quite frustrating.. so I hope you can help me out with this.
Anyway, I download 2.6 atm, and I am kind of a Bugreporter for another game, so if you want, I can do that here too^^

And one last question:
Is it possible to add new weapons like assault rifles and so on just by copy+pasting the existing assault rifle, and then change parameters? I can't model, but I want at least some imaginary variety here for myself, so would be nice if you can explain me the steps for doing this ;)

Thanks in advance :)

HI Pillat, and welcome to the forum,

It seems that you have encountered bug #5392 if you can provide a savegame where this is easily reproducible it would be a big help
BTW the bug tracker I linked is the preferred place to report this kind of issues, and sure we appreciate all the help people can give :)

Yes what you ask is possible I suggest that you start by reading this thread first but keep in mind that the number of items that can be added to the game is limited

Pillat:
Unfortunaly, this is now the 2nd time I encountered this bug.. the first time I was like 'ah man.. okay that won't happen again' so I saved 4 savegames each time when I started a new campaign.. and now all 4 have this error again

Attached is one of my 4 savegames.

Yes I already encountered that object limit.. too bad that there is no script-define for this atm :/ And when I add a new rifle and then add it to the campaign inital market, the campaign wont start anymore?

DarkRain:
Is that save before or after the bug? (I could take a look later of course)

Well I guess the number of items could be increased, Duke was palnning to increase it some more but testers didn't report back, on the other hand the game has worked fine so far with his experimental increase of two items (only in 2.6-dev) so there shouldn't be a problem going along with his original plan, I guess?

With which error? Maybe you missed to add the required technology for the rifle to be available?

Pillat:
The save is after the bug^^ So you won't be able to load that save anymore :D

Hmm no error.. I just can't start a new campaign.. there's just an empty worldmap, and I can't do anything^^
Well what do I have to add to play the campaign with the new items?
