There's no special trick to it, just edit the file and launch the game, which is what you're doing. I suspect you're getting an error because something is not formatted correctly in the changes you made, which is preventing the game from parsing the file. I might be able to help if you post the changes you made.

here's the code:

1. In your quoted section, there's an extra </armortype> tag at the start. This could just be part of the previous entry, but make sure you didn't add an extra one of these in the actual file when you were copying and pasting.

2. In the <armor></armor> section, you added <legs>10</legs> and <arms>10</arms>. The correct way to do this is to create a single <limbs>10</limbs>, rather than have separate sections for leg and arm armor. See ARMOR_HEAVYARMOR for an example:

Code: [Select]
    <armortype idname="ARMOR_HEAVYARMOR">
        <make_difficulty>17</make_difficulty>
        <make_price>5000</make_price>
        <armor>
            <body>10</body>
            <head>8</head>
            <limbs>4</limbs>
        </armor>
        <body_covering>
            <head>true</head>
        </body_covering>
        <name>Heavy Ceramic Armor</name>
        <shortname>HeavyBodyArmor</shortname>
        <fencevalue>400</fencevalue>
        <interrogation>
            <basepower>2</basepower>
        </interrogation>
        <professionalism>1</professionalism>
    </armortype>
Let me know whether that fixes the issue!

That armor definition is correctly formatted and works in-game for me. Make sure it's between the outermost <armors> ... </armors> tags like the other definitions. If that's not the problem, you may have accidentally damaged one of the other armor definitions in the file.

If all else fails, redownload the game, get the original armors.xml, and then copy and paste the fixed armor definition you pasted above into that file, making sure it's above the last line of the file containing the </armors> closing tag. It should work for you.
