Hello, I have been using the STP Search Items Reborn XMLs for awhile, and after so long I got tired of finding machine guns on people so often and also got tired of the generic "Sub Compact Pistol.." so I decided to Edit the XML purely for myself using my own knowledge of IRL Guns and implement REAL Firearms as possible yields to searches in both Vehicles and PEDS. Now, the issue is that after every time I have Edited the XMLs, if I search a PED or a Vehicle and find a Gun, and go back to my Vehicle and try to run a Serial Number, it just tells me that there is no Weapon. 

 

This wouldn't be an issue if I hadn't of made Custom Charges for CompuLite relating to Firearms stemming from real State and Federal Laws that I would certainly like to use. I will leave both of the XMLs below and if someone can explain to me what I am missing I would really appreciate it. 

 

EDIT: SOLVED. 

Turns out My Gut was right when I thought that there must be some sort of area inside of STPs Configs in order to define which Weapons will be detected by STP via their name. To fix this issue, simply follow a uniform method when editing your XML with Weapons OR Narcotics. For example, all of my Weapons in my XML have the Ammo Type of the Weapon, so in order to get STP to detect them in a Search, you must go into the Config and add those Ammo types as something that STP can find within the XML. To clarify, if I had 3 Weapons that I had just added and wanted to have STP Detect them for Serial Checks, and I called them something like "A 30-.06 Bolt Action Rifle, A Glock 17 9x19, A Colt King Cobra Carry .357mag Revolver" I would need to go into the Config of STP and add ".30-06,9x19,.357mag..." and so on. 

 

Another example, if you are using real World Weapon Brands as I am with my own XML, you can use the Brands of the Weapons listed in you XML, and example would be; "A Glock 17 9x19, A Canik TP9 SF 9x19, A RIA 1911A1 .45acp" inside of the STP config I would list "Glock,Canik,RIA" This method would certainly work, but if you have A LOT of different brands inside of your XML, it would likely be easier to use Caliber types. 

 

A final Method would to be use universal spelling on Weapon types, so if I had "A Glock Pistol" Listed in my XML, I would want to use the word "Pistol" in my Config, NOT "pistol" Capitalization DOES matter it seems. 

 

Hopefully if anyone gets confused like I did when they edit their XMLs for the first time, they find this post. It is really simple, funnily enough.
