I think that's what's doing it, that's all that I noticed.
I made that change but I still get the same error message. The error appears to be in my game-box file not the scenario file. Thanks anyway. Hopefully someone else will be able to catch the problem. It's frustrating because I spent hours making sure that my files matched the ones used in the tutorial. I even used a very simple basic game to make it easy but I have had no luck.
I know that my script is exactly like the example posted on the Support page. I went over it carefully dozens of times. I may have to email Jerome directly.
Have you been able to run any game-boxes that you designed yourself?

First thing Iwould do is get an XML editor. One I found for free was at microsoft's website. XML Notepad 2007 in the downloads section. But I'm sure there are lots of others. This will allow you to create the files without having to worry about XML syntax at all. I was having problems with typos until I did this.
Next I created two template files, game-box and startup. In it I have all the possible ZT syntax entered. All you have to do is delete things you are not using. I also added lots and lots of comments to explain how things work. I was going to get Jerome to put these files up here somewhere after he had a look at them of course to see if he thought they would be useful, but he is working on a design program that will make creating game boxes a lot easier so you won't really need to know any XML stuff soon.
I haven't really tested the templates properly since I am in the middle of a family emergency, but I could email you them if you wanted. Email me.... morval at pawsnorth dot com.

Gary is right and that solution should have done the trick, because it worked for me...
Success! After messing around with the suggestions you guys gave I finally got it to work. First I could only display my map but then realized I needed to include a counter layout in my Startup file. And it works. Now that I have my foot in the door I will experiment with it a bit.
Thanks alot for the help guys. I really appreciate it.
