Well I was creating kits today for a server and I've come across a strange problem I can't rectify. Ok so basically, I tried making a starter kit, changed the name of the tools kit to "starter" Everything working upto this point. Deleted the items then added Code: kits: starter: delay: 10 items: - IronHelmet 1 Everything working, now I add another item, Code: kits: starter: delay: 10 items: - IronHelmet 1 - IronLeggings 1 Everything just brakes here, config is now "broken" and it shows up as red whilst using NotePad ++. I was able to copy and paste another starter kit from a previous config I used, no errors at all. I do not have the option to do this for every kit so I'm hoping someone can help me. Heres the error.

Thanks n please reply soon
In your Notepad++ you need to change the settings so that it converts tabs to spaces. By default, Notepad++ will automatically add a tab when you hit enter to go to the next line. That's also what causes the line to turn red. Problem is, if you have any tabs in your file, it won't parse correctly when you try to use it. All indented areas need to be regular spaces, not tabs. So either change your settings, or make sure you backspace the tabs out and replace them with regular spacebar spaces.
