Some additional questions. There are three kinds of extensions: adventures, expansions, and libraries. What about the <CoreLibrary> ? is this just another library or should I be aware of something special? A "module" is an XML file that is included syntactically into some other file. It DOES NOT hav...

Ok, thanks George. From your code example I read that it is basically a depth first recursive read, that, whenever a type is encountered twice, will overwrite the previous one with the new definition. It is (currently) illegal to use an entity defined in a library BEFORE the library reference. But i...

Hi, I'm writing a script for parsing the xml files so that we can auto-update the wiki and have some questions about the xml structure of transcendence. In what order should I process the Modules/Libraries/Adventures/etc? I start with reading <TranscendenceUniverse>. The universe contains several ot...

You could try to pick up where the 'Getting started with modding' (pdf)tutorial ends?

Or am I missing what you are trying to do?

From the regular forum members, I'm probably the one with commonly the worst bandwidth of all. It is not uncommon for me to be at location where the bandwidth restricted to a mere 64kb/sec. For me, wikia is sometimes ok, sometimes its slow (depending on the subdomain/theme). The site for Star Citize...

Your list of entity declarations is somewhat sloppy: <!DOCTYPE TranscendenceExtension [ <!ENTITY scDrake "0xd01F001a"> <!ENTITY itPersox "0xd01f001b"> <!ENTITY itMEGAAAAATROOON "0xd01F001c <!ENTITY itMegaArmor "0xd01F001d> <!ENTITY itMEGATRON_Deflector "0xd01F001e"> ]> This should work: <!DOCTYPE Tr...

(I was wondering how long before you would start making mods

Mining in its current state is... my words can only allude to how enormous of a problem it is because i have no words capable of directly stating just how much fixing it needs... and would make newbies who try it out thinking it would be fun quit the game in frustration. (Seen this happen before. C...

Also, I suspect that the speed of light or the scale is approximated so that one pixel is exactly 24 light seconds. I checked this in-game. The scale is calculated from 1 pixel = 12,500 km and the value for 1 light second is not rounded up to 24 pixels: if you place two 1 pixel wide stations 60 lig...

I don't know the range of the minimap in either light seconds or km. Yet, I do know that the minimap range (+/-) is: <Weapon missileSpeed= "80" lifetime= "60" /> In other words, if AssumedPseudonym drops us the formula on how to calculate weapon range from missileSpeed and lifetime, you can use the ...

I'm tempted to say that I think the graphical dock services UI could do with a revisit. The problem with the new interface arises because the new UI tries to push the old functionality into a new, visual system. The result is confusing. In the old screens , you first selected the action you wanted ...

The Sung are known to be both quite advanced in their tech and less than friendly with regards the individual rights of humans. In Corporate Command, Chimeric morphed items and ships were introduced. The stuff is clearly able to produce quite powerful results, which are pushing the boundaries of tec...

Can spritesheets be animated? I think that's a thing. If so, we could use that. It may be possible, but I'm not sure. For version 1.0 lets just stick to a single static frame. Can someone tell me what's the pixels per light second conversion, then? 1 pixel equals 12,500 km of in universe distance. ...

images are not really a problem: I can automatically crop sprites and apply the grayscale masking without too much effort.
