And looking at xml of existing hills.
You can also ask for help in the DSJ4 Fans Discord.

I have a question: I tried to use xml notepad 2007 to build hills, I opened in XML notepad one of the existing ski jumps (Canada HS 107), which I already have in the custom hills folder, to learn how to build ski jumps by myself, and then saved it back in the custom hills folder - when I tried to open it, I received a message: invalid file ... unexpected character "<" while reading parameters of <? xml> at line 1.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong and how to create the correct xml file for the game?

Otherwise, I enjoy the new ski jumps that Gorisek bros and everyone else are doing. Great job!

DSJ4 hill files must not contain the <?xml ...> declaration in the beginning. They must start straight away with <hill> element.

Dear Jussi, thank you very much for your answer, i am not sure if i understand well - you are talking about this line: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>. this line is generated automatically each time I save the document and i don't know how to change it or delete it ...

You'll probably have to use another editor for writing the file which does not generate that line automatically. I could also later add support for this element.

I have already noticed this myself and used notepad ++. Now it works. Thanks!
