XML to XNB

1

Good day everyone, I am new to monogame and had writtend an XNA game for windows 7 now I am converting it to Monogame for win 8 I have successfully converted my XML file to xnb but I still get the error that I can’t load it as a non-content file eventhough I change it content copy if newer, any suggestions would be greatly appreciative.

Thanks

Just wondering if anyone has done this before?

Ok so I have all my sounds, textures and everything else loaded through my Screenmanager.Game.Content, for some reason I can’t get my xml files that I converted to xnb to load correctly, has anyone has this issue?

Ok so I got pipeline.exe running and tried to build my .xml and if failed with this error:

error: Importer 'XmlImporter' had unexpected failure!

Any suggestions

Well I might get an answer this way…is there a way I could use the monogame xmlimporter without the pipeline.exe if so how?

If it helps i used the xml built into xnb content using the standard xna pipeline and then imported into a monogame. Full source is here. There android and windows gl are monogame.
