The Shield Display isn't right:

Code: Select all

<ShieldDisplay>
 <Image UNID="&rsFerianWarShipShields;" bitmap="ferianwarshipshield.bmp" backColor="0x00000000"/>
</ShieldDisplay>
Make the <Image UNID.../> a seperate line of xml (like &rsFerianWarshipImages)

use this for the Shield Display:

Code: Select all

<ShieldDisplay>
 <Image imageID="&rsFerianWarshipShield;" imageX="0" imageY="0" imageWidth="136" imageHeight="136"/>
</ShieldDisplay>

Shield Display
&rsFerianWarshipShield; <- change to &rsFerianWarShipShields;

Does that mean that you noticed that you forgot to declare the extension Entity in the DOCTYPE declarations too?

I'd recommend against shortcuts and such that don't fit with the regular format but work anyways. Future version may end up reading the data files differently enough to break your extension.

Got it.
I was sure it wasn't the images. I tested the mod I made them for extensively before I uploaded the ship graphics to my website.

the xml is incorrect, or the mod would work.

Please stop slandering my graphics on these forums. If it is a legitimate problem with any of them, I don't mind (in fact like it when) these errors are pointed out to me.

When you make an incorrectly formatted xml with errors, then blame it on me...Well, that bothers me a little.

Those are the resource image tags, they belong outside of the shiptype tag. It is a good habit to put them just after <TranscendenceExtension...>

This is the image tag to use for the ship (inside <ShipType>):

Code: Select all

<Image imageID="&rsFerianWarShipImages;" imageX="0" imageY="0" imageWidth="80" imageHeight="80" imageFrameCount="0" imageTicksPerFrame="0"/>
This is the tag to use for the shield image (inside <ShipType>):

Code: Select all

<Image imageID="&rsFerianWarShipShields;" imageX="0" imageY="0" imageWidth="136" imageHeight="136"/>
There is a "." instead of a "," in the FerianDeflector damadj "100,100,100,100."

The second <NozzlePos> should be x="-41" y="8"

You really should declare the Extension UNID:
<!ENTITY TranscendenceExtension "0xE1410001">

There might have been something else...can't remember.
