New to Transcendence, Wanna know some stuff?

[Ttech]

I have completed making the playerships i wanted, Now i have some more questions

1. Is there a tutorial on how to change the shield HUD, i attempted it, but didnt work out?
2. Can you make extensions for new weapons? (Never mind, you can and ive done it)
3. Can you have folders in the extension folder. So its more neat and easier to find stuff?

These are all the questions i have right now, im sure i'll think of some more

1. Yeah, there is a way ,did you look at hte example ship?
3 - EXACTLY! Thats what I've been saying. But no there no way as far as I know right mow.

what UNID where you using (they have to start with a D or E)? Also remember you to check your other mods and make sure you are not using the same UNID there.

[Betelgeuse]

can we see your xml (and any other xml extensions you have)
entity sections?

[Betelgeuse]

you need to add the line (assuming you are going to put the bmp in the extensions folder)

Code: Select all

<Image UNID="&unidCSCShields;"		bitmap="CSCShields.bmp" backColor="0x00000000"/>

It had no idea where the bitmap was
putting this right after </ShipClass> will solve the issue by telling it what bmp to use and where it is.

ps: the convention is to name images and sounds starting with rs so it would be then rsCSCShields. It doesn't make any difference to the game just makes it easier to read.
