When I was finished, I had a large blank space which I decided would be perfect for adding the amount of AA pts I have currently plus the percent increaser/decreaser. However, I get a duplicate error everytime I try to run it and unfortuantely I'm not xml literate enough to know how to make it work. Any suggestions? Thanks!

The part I have underlined is your answer. EQ doesn't like it when you have the same thing in two places. The solution is to give the new one a different "screen identity".

Where you've added it, change the name from "AA_blah" to "AA_blah_Inv" (as an example). Remember to do that in *all* the spots where it refers to "AA_blah" in your inventory mod (the main section and down in the pieces section also).

By adding the "_Inv" (whatever you choose to use there), you've given the new pieces a new identity, so EQ will be happy.

The AA window knows to look for a ScreenID named TotalCount and put in the correct value, the inventory Window does not. The only way around this is by using EQType tags as these load from a global array. So to get the Current Count to work you need to add <EQType>71</EQType> in the tag. Unfortunately, I do not think the EQType for Total AA points is known. At least I have not seen it posted anywhere. Hmmm perhaps my next project should be making a window that just goes through and creates a label with all of the EQTypes, through say 200... Right now I think the highest that are known are 73 or so....
