No, we still need a section about modding ("Transcendence has been praised for it's easiness to mod.................modding was added in version xxx........................some modders often take on the role as a (false) company that produce xxxxxxx................something about XML that I need someone else to write since i'm not too knowledgable on the subject..............etc."), just not on how to use them, make them, etc.

Not a whole section on modding. You might get the boot from Wikipedia.

Just work in somewhere that a primary feature of the game is that it is easily modifiable with simple xml. No more than a sentence, I'd say in the Overview (that seems a bit short anyhow).

Anybody that is intereseted in modding (there are quite a few other games that have this feature too) can look up more information about Transcendence modding.

EDIT - Put a link to here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xml in the 'modding summary'.

Here's a tip, if you can find a decent third party source that praises the modablity of Transcendence, go wild and write a whole paragraph or two, if push comes to shove you can always point to the article as an example of why Transcendence belongs in Wiki.

Well, i'll add the sentence about modding into the overview section, and find a couple of good screenshots of Transcendence (though I don't know how to put up pictures).

EDIT: Dang, I had some really good screenies - can't find them now.

Ok....but first, you must tell me(or give me a link) how to get a new program that can take screenies. Paint doesn't work for me....for some reason.

Try and get a good battle screenie. Battling is an important part of the game, and we don't want people that read the page to think that it's mostly trading and stuff.
Try and get one with the players fighting the Charons, a late-game one with the ares or sung, and whatever else you feel would look good.

EDIT: All of that is completely optional, of course...I don't want you to feel like i'm ordering you around :wink:

Yugi can answer that, but as far as getting them on the internet, go to this site and press the browse button. Browse to your image, unload it, and then post the links here. Someone can download the images and upload them to the Wiki after selecting which ones to use. I suppose you could just upload them to the Wiki now, but I'm not positive how to go about doing that and I can't seem to recall my account information to check.
