I searched through the topics on this issue (and maybe I missed it), but I'm having difficulty opening an xml file in the following Fear and Loathing step: After installation, open up "\menus\main\hud_main_menu.xml" and navigate to line 713. Either comment out the line or delete it I can open the file through either the right panel going through the data folder of MO or through opening the mod on the left panel of MO. However, every attempt made to open leads me to a blank Internet Explorer page. Do I need a certain type of xml reader to edit the file? I have a second question as well, but I do not believe it is as crucial as the previous (I might be wrong though). Many of the instructions have had parts where they ask me to "select [Merge] not [Replace]." I understand the difference and why it is necessary to do so, but I have never actually had the option to do so. My files in the left tab are usually organized so the later file (bugfix or whatever) will overwrite. Am I correct in doing so? Example: During main file install, expand "New_Bison_Steve_V107_Master", then right click "Data" and select "Set data directory" and click [OK]. During optional file install, expand "New Bison Steve Hotel - Sortomatic->ESM version", then right click "Data" and select "Set data directory" and click [OK], select [Merge] not [Replace]." I apologize if I am repeating a question, I checked the faq and did a keyword search of xml in the search bar. Thank you S.T.E.P Staff and EssArrBee for your guide. Its nice to get a clearer grasp of what I can do with FNVEdit and other tools.
