i havn't tested, but see no reason for it not to work.

make a new .xml file with any editor that supports that type, paste the code into it as it appears, place it in extensions folder.

to save yourself se the ore(it's accelerator key is "q"), and then refuel with the newly created rods, do as many times as needed. delete the mod when you no longer need it.

Thank you for your promptness, Bobby. Any suggestion of an editor for Vista? Yes, I use Vista...lol

[Bobby]

i have never used vista before, if there is a compatibility mode for xp(or 2k, nt, 98, 95, me) then notepad++ is very good, syntax highlighting, parenthases matching/highlighting, folding, a good find/replace, custom autocomplete, tabs, and then there's the plugins(like a hex editor or color picker)... it opens just about any file(it can read the .tdb, just don't change it), lets you assign any file name, and remembers what was open when you last closed it. the undo goes very far back too. home page

I "cheat" w/ "checkpoint" saves (make a copy of your saved game)

How do u do that?

[F50]

I don't find checkpoint saves necessary, just don't use a gate if you are low on fuel or are contaminated with radioactive waste.

If you are paranoid, or don't want a modding solution,

1. Open windows explorer and navigate to the location in which transcendence is installed.

2. click on your .sav file (for example, Viper.sav) and then press CTRL+C and then CTRL+V to make a copy of the file.

3. right click on the copy of the .sav file, click "rename", and then rename it to something reasonable (ie. from "copy of viper.sav" to "viper2.sav")

You can access the backup save by either deleting the original and following this process to copy "viper2.sav" to "viper.sav" or by opening transcendence, clicking on your name in the top-left hand corner, entering "viper2" and then pressing enter.

hope that makes sense.

[Viper]

It does...thank you very much...
