Suggestion General Custom XSD schemas don't appear to be loaded in 1.6.4

[Jance]

So our mod has a few custom xsd schemas for adding attributes to items (eg. we have added a hitpoints attribute to armor that provides bonus health). As of 1.6.4, our schemas are no longer detected for some reason. I've been manually diffing every related class, but am having a hard time finding why this broke in 1.6.4.

Also worth noting that the schemas are detected fine by the editor version of the game, but not in the normal client.

Here's a crash report I've uploaded: 2021-10-23_18.21.08_3750681dc7c6903ca1c68e89ecbc5693

We're now experiencing this in the 1.6.5 editor as well.

[13:31:02.879] opening ..\..\Modules\KingdomsOfArda/ModuleData/items/arm_armours.xml

[13:31:02.880] opening ../../XmlSchemas/Items.xsd

[13:31:02.882] Error: The 'hitpoints' attribute is not declared.
Node: hitpoints  Value: 6
Line: 6

I'm guessing this has something to do with the xml validation changes that were implemented?

I have a similar problem. My mod added a new settlement type that is read from xml and with the new xml validator it cannot be loaded because it's not in the xsd schema.
We need way to load custom types without changing the local xsd schema.

Here's a patch btw that will disable the validation and allow you to use your settlement type again until they implement a better solution:

[HarmonyPrefix]
[HarmonyPatch(typeof(MBObjectManager), "GetMergedXmlForManaged")]
public static bool SkipXMLValidationPatch(string id,
    ref bool skipValidation,
    bool ignoreGameTypeInclusionCheck = true,
    string gameType = "")
{
    skipValidation = id != "SiegeEngines";
    return true;
}
