Great, I am reduced to begging for help on a totally beginner mod.

What's the new trick to getting a mod ship to show up? I copied the sapphire code from the playerships.xml, renamed it, gave it a UNID, the game loads and NO SHIP.

:cry: :cry: :cry:

it works fine for me did you try changing the description to see that is was changed? If so can we see the code?
Crying is not a proper retort!

We don't need the code, I got it working.

Debug shows nothing:
08/01/2008 16:58:36 Start logging session
08/01/2008 16:58:36 Transcendence 0.99a
08/01/2008 16:58:39 Loading extension: Extensions\BlankMod
08/01/2008 16:58:39 Loading extension: Extensions\ShipMods
08/01/2008 16:58:50 End logging session

Then on a whim I removed the blank mod (a template) from my extension folder. The ship now shows up. The blank mod had the same UNID. doh! In previous versions of transcendence this caused an error on loading, now it just gets ignored?
