Help with automation script, error at line 9

[Delta_Research]

My automation script is as follows (excluding <>):

?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8” standalone=“no”?
automation version=“WMP2”

load file=“test_script.tmd”

section name=“HM Export”
modify>
world res=“1024”
/modify>

build mode=“normal”
output/
/section

/automation

The error is at 9 line at the /modify tag, however I have no idea what I did wrong here. If someone could help me that would be great!

BTW, you can embed code within a code block in discourse using 3 ` characters in a row to start and end the code section.

The following should work:

<modify>
<world res="1024" />
</modify>

Yeah, I did that, and now a different error pops up, saying that my </automation> tag has a syntax error. I removed the section and here is my updated script:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<automation version="WMP2">

<load file="test_script.tmd">

<modify>
  <world res="1024"/>
</modify>

 <build mode="normal">
 <output/>
 
</automation>

XML is very strict about closing tags. As opposed to HTML, you must mark any single tags as self-closing. The following should parse correctly:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<automation version="WMP2">

<load file="test_script.tmd" />

<modify>
  <world res="1024"/>
</modify>

<build mode="normal" />
<output/>
 
</automation>

(The load and build commands are not closed in the original script. That is, they don’t include a / at the end of the tag.)

Ah, thank you that works! Thanks for all the help!
