(This adds higher quality images (120 facings) of some of the larger ships to Transcendence.)
I managed to decompile this file but only by changing its name to Transcendence.tdb and then running Transdata as usual. Thanks to whoever it was that posted that somewhere in the forum.
I'm assuming you can add a filename to the Transdata/decompile command somehow but don't know the format/syntax.
Could someone post it here for future reference for everyone? Thanks.

or
put transdata in the collection folder, create a txt file and rename the extension to bat.
put this in the file:
double click on the newly created bat file and look astonished as all the tdbs in your collection folder are decompiled.

(This has been contributed by PKOdon btw)FOR %%C IN (SET *.tdb) DO TransData.exe /decompile /datafile:%%C

…Actually, let me throw the Linux version of that in here, since it’s different and I know there are a few players who use Wine to run Transcendence.
Put a copy of TransData in the Collections folder. Open up a new text document and paste the following into it: Save to the Collections folder, change its extension to .sh, go into the file’s properties and, under permissions, make sure it’s allowed to run as a program. Then just run it and it’ll take things from there.

OMG. Thank you, thank you, thank you PKodon and digdug (and AP on behalf of Linux users).FOR %%C IN (SET *.tdb) DO TransData.exe /decompile /datafile:%%C
That is sooooo much easier than mucking about with the (extremely irritating, highly pedantic and totally unforgiving) command line code.
Modders, if you haven't mastered using Transdata via the method shown in the other forum posts don't even bother. Using the above method is so much quicker and easier I won't ever be going back.
Stupid code. Do what I want, not what I typed in!
