The pics are in my extensions folder but I still get that error. What am I doing wrong?

Sorry, I can't see anything wrong with it. This won't help solve the problem, but you may want to re-write the description for the ship.

Just a guess do you need to put <Images> </Images> around the <Image UNID lines?

It's possible that the images are in a format that Transcendence doesn't like.

In particular, I believe the mask (xwingmask.bmp) must be either a monochrome (1-bit) or grayscale (8-bit) bitmap.

Looks like my fault again. Looking at the zip archive, I believe I sent you a bitmap for the ship instead of a jpg.

HERE is a jpg for the ship image.

You could then just delete the xwingship.bmp from your extension folder.

I noticed that you are putting the <Image.../> tag at the end. That will work for ships but don't try that with a station or the station won't show up in the game. Best to make a habit of putting image tags at the start of your extensions.

Hey thanks everyone.

About the description, I was going to change it once the whole extension worked. I was using that ship as a template.

And about the <Image> tags, what do you mean?

EDIT: It's still givingme the same error even with the jpg. Is there any other problems?

Change the UNID numbers to: Apparently 0x0000... won't work. I copied your xml off the forum here and put those numbers in. The extension loaded fine then.
There is a doc HERE at the unofficial forums about UNID formats, that will clear things up better than me trying to explain it.

------

What I mean about the Image tags is that they should probably be put directly after the <TranscendenceExtension...>. When you use external images for a station, the image UNID needs to be declared before it is called for by the StationType, else you end up with a 'ghost station'. It's there, you can dock with it, shoot it, etc; but you can't see it. Might make for some interesting 'hunt the enemy station mods'

Hey thanks alot! I'll try these new UNIDs when I get home. Sorry if all my problems bug you guys. Thanks for putting up with me!

Hunh? 0xD0C4 is my UNID!!

Well, it worked, I'll change it before I give it to Thom to put on the mod site.
