Question Concerning Usermade Animals

[GoneWild]

My question concerns editing usermade animals. I am just editing them for my own use so don't worry about me putting them up for download and calling them my own. lol
Okay my question is that when I try to go in and edit the main xml file so that I can change the space requirement or the main biome I am getting a error message from winrar. Am I doing something wrong? The error is a diagnostic error so I do not know if I am doing a wrong action or if it is winrar itself. I have tried multiple way including extracting the file, editing it and trying to paste it back in and I have also tried just straight editing the file from the .z2f and just saving all the changes I made and overriding the old xml file. But all of these result in the diagnostic error message. So if anyone has a suggestion that could help me it would be greatly appreciated.

are you doing this while the file is in and actual zoo tycoon 2 folder?

if so just take it out and it should work what does the message actual say?

Nevermind I got it to work. Yes you were right I was trying to edit it in the zoo tycoon 2 folder lol. Should have known better. I moved the folder and then tried and it worked.
