as stated above, i do require assistance with 1.02 and above.

1) do you just copy to the extensions folder or is there another process?
2) what 'bugs' are to be expected in the subject matter? for future reference.

any help will be greatly appreciated.

Can I ask why you want to use 1.02? It is incredibly buggy and is not reccommended at all. Try 1.04 instead. Most mods (if that's why you are doing this) will work with 1.04 and many are being re-done to be compatible.

I'm not sure what you mean by " do you just copy to the extensions folder or is there another process?". Can you please explain what you mean there? :?

No. If you get a new version of Transcendence (it will come in a folder called Trans104.zip or similar), unzip it, and place it in MyDocuments or somewhere like that. Go into the new folder and run the new version from there.

Upgrading is not like adding an extension - it is a whole new version. Most extensions can be copied over though (just copy your old Extensions folder into the new folder alongside the Transcendence readme/exectuable etc.

Does that help you?

BTW, I have to go soon, so I may not be able to help you for much longer. -_-

No problem! :mrgreen:

Just to confirm, make sure you get 1.04 (from the link I gave you). Don't use 1.02 -- you will be better off with the latest releases.

actually im still stuck. i have copied it to my documents but it still says (when you start a new game) part 1: the stars of the pilgrim.

does it continue from there or should it have another starting position. i.e. start from eridani and continue from heretic or start in the next system past heretic.

plus whenever i attempt to open the 1.04 folder with windows explorer it says:

The Compressed (zipped) folder
C:\Users\chase\Desktop\AppData\Local\Temp\Trans104.zip is invalid

should i use another program or is there something wrong with my system/folder

1.04 doesn't add any new systems over what 1.01 has. Post-Heretic content won't be available for some time now.

About the error, try downloading the zip file again. If that doesn't fix it, try unzipping it with a third party decompression utility, such as WinRAR or 7Zip.

Plus when i attempt to extract the files (i have downloaded the file up to five times now.) it says that there are no files to be found.

I just tried the link and it downloads fine and extracts fine for me. Is it the 1.04 link you are using?

Well.... i am not sure what can be done to help you... there must be some noise on your line if your download keeps getting messed up. You could also try and do like Curudan suggested and use 7zip to unpack it (google for it :)

If that does not work then I can try and upload to another site and you can try to download from there.
