 It looks like you’re missing part of a tag. Try:

Code: Select all

<TranscendenceExtension UNID="&itYangHeavy;">
 Also, regarding where to post this, probably the Shipyard would’ve been better.

The game engine is correct in telling you that the UNIDs are incorrect.

A UNID has the form of 0x 'four-digit-personal-prefix' 'four-digit-number'
So, for example:

Code: Select all

0xEFFB6001
would be correct.

However, you used a 0x 'four-digit-personal-prefix' 'six-digit-number' instead.

Hope this helps,

 You’re using “&itYangHeavy” as the extension UNID and the item UNID. The extension UNID should be “0xEFFB600101” (or the eight digit correction thereof, as pointed out by Pixelfck).

I fail to understand, if it's not a problem could you show me an example?

[spoiler=]maybe I should have found a mod to edit instead of writing from nothing[/spoiler]

 Try something along these lines:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<!DOCTYPE TranscendenceExtension
[
<!ENTITY unidExtension		"0xEFFB6001">
<!ENTITY itYangHeavy		"0xEFFB6002">
]>

      
	  <TranscendenceExtension UNID="0xEFFB6001"


	
	 
            <ItemType UNID="&itYangHeavy;"
			name=				"Yang superheavy cannon"
			level=				"11"

that's exactly what it says but still invalid UNID

 …D’oh. My bad. I left the bracket off the end of the <TranscendenceExtension> tag. The joys of quoting. Lemme try that again:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<!DOCTYPE TranscendenceExtension
[
<!ENTITY unidExtension		"0xEFFB6001">
<!ENTITY itYangHeavy		"0xEFFB6002">
]>

      
	  <TranscendenceExtension UNID="0xEFFB6001">

 Hm. I just tried filling in the rest of the code with a random weapon, just to see what would happen. I got an “incompatible version” error, not an “invalid UNID” error. See if this has any effect:

Code: Select all

<TranscendenceExtension UNID="0xEFFB6001" apiVersion="22">

 This is how I got it working:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" ?>


<!DOCTYPE TranscendenceExtension

<!ENTITY unidExtension      "0xEFFB0001">
<!ENTITY itYangHeavy      "0xEFFB0002">

     <TranscendenceExtension UNID="0xEFFB6001" apiVersion="22">


   
    
            <ItemType UNID="&itYangHeavy;"
         name=            "Yang superheavy cannon"
         level=            "11"
         value=            "201600"
         mass=            "14000"
         frequency=         "veryrare"
         attributes=         "MajorItem; Bushido; Military; Illegal"

         description=      "The Yang is Bushido's first try at a blast weapon whose production was cut early because of high manufacturing price, it fires extremely powerful high-explosive shells, it is reserved only for military capital ships and as such,it is illegal to have."

      <Weapon
            type=            "missile"

            omnidirectional=   "true"
            damage=            "blast:6d12x3; momentum1; WMD5"
            fireRate=         "10"
            missileSpeed=      "40"
            interaction=      "80"
            lifetime=         "50"

            fireEffect=         "&efBlastFireDefault;"
            sound=            "&snRecoillessCannon;"
            >
      </Weapon>
   </ItemType>
</TranscendenceExtension>
 I would suggest the following change, though, just so it’s easier to tell what it is on the mod list when you start a game:

Code: Select all

     <TranscendenceExtension UNID="0xEFFB6001" apiVersion="22" name="Yang Heavy" credits="Cpt. Niceguy">
