XML NotchDescriptions crash Openbve on loading

Using NotchDescriptions causes crash on startup, Openbve reverts to main menu when attempting to load a train using this. Happens on stable 1.9.2.2.

Also, loco brake interface label is blank on all trains fitted with it

I can't reproduce this on 1.9.2.4, everything appears OK to me for both of your issues above.

My immediate suspicion would be malformed XML (duplicate properties?) somewhere which we aren't handling nicely.
Sample please?

XML files only is fine.

It's malformed XML.

Code:

<Reverser>切,前,後/Reverser>

You're missing the closing < for the reverser.
(Try using an editor which highlights XML such as Notepad++)

Fixing that makes the thing work- All descriptions appear for me correctly.

I've made a couple of changes as a result of this which will help, but a malformed XML can't be loaded. 
(This was one of the major points of choosing XML- The csv / dat formats do some interesting and unxepected things sometimes when malformed, which simply aren't possible with XML)

That explains it double-checked the syntax but still missed it.
I do use Notepad++, but it didn't help apparently.

Makes me think it needs some sort of better error feedback than just crashing tho...

That's what the changes from yesterday were- Stops the crash and tweaks a couple of related bits, but it physically can't load a malformed XML.
