Okay, First off I am very new at RUNUO and using XMLSpawner2. I am learning very quickly and so far I am impressed with what can be done with your Spawner.
Right now I am trying to set up a VERY simple quest for some younger kids on my server. The goal is to have wolves attack a named cow "Mertel".
On one spawner I spawn a cow named Mertel.
On another spawner set to trigger when the Questor gets near I have this:
TimberWolf/combatant/MOB,Mertel
When a player steps nearby the Wolf spawns but does not attack. I thought maybe there were other MOBs named Mertel so I changed the name to Mertelcow just to test it out. Nothing.
I am sure it is going to end up being something simple that I am doing wrong but I have tried it out a bunch of different ways and have reached at point where I need help.
Thanks in advance!

too tired to go into detail, but one way you can do it is change one of the spawners to "team 1" and the other to "team 2" in the props menu. Not exactly what you're looking for, but all I have the mental capacity for right now.

try it this way
TimberWolf/combatant/GETONMOB,Mertel,serial
You could also have done it with
TimberWolf/combatant/MOB,Mertel,cow
where you specify not only the mob name but also the type.
The syntax that you originally used that omitted the type should have worked, so it is not your fault. I will just have to check on the keyword parsing. It looks like it isnt handling the no-type syntax properly.
(edit)
fixed for v3.08. The fixed version is in the beta_308.zip

Adding the Mob name and type worked! Thanks!
And you updated a fix already! Thanks for that also!
