XML Extensions is a framework and modding tool that is focused on extending the general functionality of XML mods. This framework adds many more patch operations and allows for the easy creation of mod settings in XML.

More Patch Operations
XML Extensions includes many new patch operations for modders to use. These operations are much more powerful and dynamic, and allow you to basically do programming in XML; you have access to if-statements, for-loops, mathematical operations, etc.

Create Mod Settings in XML
With XML Extensions, you can easily create mod settings for your mod, all in XML! You may use these settings to toggle patch operations, change values within your patch operations, or use them in C# to do anything else.

Enhanced Error Reporting for XML Errors
With XML Extensions active, all XML patch errors will now generate a stack trace. This means that you can figure out exactly which patch failed, and in some cases, it will even tell you what part of the patch failed. All you need to do is have XML Extensions activated in your modlist while testing your mod.

Here is an example of a trace for a broken patch (you can easily figure out the error is that the letter "N" should be capital in defName):



The vanilla error message for the exact same patch (only reports the parent patch, not the one that actually failed; no clue as to what went wrong):



There is a standalone version of this feature as well.

How to Use
To use this mod as a user, just load this mod after core and the DLCs, but before all other mods that depend on it. As a modder, you need to mark this mod as a dependency in Steam Workshop, and include the dependency in your About.xml.

I am willing to take suggestions for improvements and additions to this framework, and will try to fix any bugs reported.

@imranfish Alright i will try

@Xx_redcat_xX you can either send a log with hugslib log exporter, or upload your player.log file with a website such as github gist. It is unlikely to be this mod in particular, since this mod does not affect any of the actual in-game content, but you may have some sort of mod conflict which needs to be resolved.

sorry for bothering but there is an issuse. i confirmed is this mod causing and it made me no longer able to build anything

I will confirm this was not the problem. I do believe another mod update corrupted files. I just reinstalled everything with the same mod list and it worked fine.

They could probably fix it by using either 0 instead of -1 for the ticks for childbirth, or by adding an xpath condition to exclude childbirth from the first patch. Glad you got the issue worked around in the mean time, though.

It looks like its an XML only option. I loaded in, unticked the option, and reloaded Rimworld and it seems to have been solved at least for me.

It looks like the WVC author is aware of the problem and planning to rework that option entirely later.
Kaedys 19 Aug @ 12:57pm 
Based on looking at the patch defs in WVC, this is either occurring because of an overlapping patch that applies a 0.7 multiplier to all rituals, and then also overrides childbirth to -1 ticks. If the former is run again after the latter, the result is -0.7 ticks. The other alternative, though I'd have to go hunt through the C# code for the mode, is that you have that setting ticked on both the XML and C# tabs in the mod, so it is applying the XML version, and then applying the same thing in the C# code and effectively doing the above through a different mechanism. In the latter case, you should be able to correct it yourself by disabling the option on one of the two tabs (note: I've not installed or loaded the mod, I'm just going off the description here), in the former case, it's an error by the mod author.
