Transcompiler does not like split libraries

Say I have library A
I then make library B which uses assets from library A
--
If I try to make a .tdb file using transcompiler for library B, the moment it hits a module that requires a unid from library A it will throw an error and not compile it correctly. Thus when transcendence.exe tries to load the .tdb file it will not work, even though the raw xml files work just fine with the game itself.

Try specifying /entities when compiling library B:
Code: Select all
transcompiler /input:LibraryB.xml /output:LibraryB.tdb /entities:LibraryA.tdb
The problem (I think) is that we can't process the Library B XMLs if we don't have the ENTITY definitions from Library A.

what is the syntax for two libraries containing entities?

Try comma separated values:
Code: Select all
transcompiler ... /entities:LibraryA.tdb,LibraryB.tdb
Make sure you don't have spaces. If you have spaces in filenames, try everything in quotes:
Code: Select all
transcompiler ... /entities:"Library A.tdb,Library B.tdb"
I know the syntax is a little lame, but hopefully you can get it to work.
