The ship image can be a .jpg; you'll save space with the compression. The mask should be a 1-bit (2 color, black & white) .bmp The images that fade out, like an exhaust image, have masks that are 8-bit (256 color) greyscale images. White is opaque, black is transparent; the darker the grey, the more...

You need to declare an ENTITY (at the top) for the ship image. Call it &scaristardtimage; for example.: <!ENTITY scaristardstimage "0xD1023001"> Use that ENTITY in these places: <Image UNID="&scaristardst;" bitmap="aristardst 16facings.bmp" backColor="0x00000000"/> That is, &scaristardt; (from your ...

They are all 1 digit too long. Ox, followed by 8 hexadecimal digits is the correct format. The first hex. digit MUST be a C or a D. All of the UNIDs should have identical 1st four digits. That is your 'Designer ID' and nobody else should be using it. Go Here: http://neurohack.com/transcendence/forum...

Yugi,
You'll have to export (use .obj format) from Wings, then import into Blender.
There is a plugin for Blender to read .wings files; but it is broken right now with the current Blender version; until Scorpius gets around to fixing it.

Re: Question concerning missions

What code is used to have the player attack the target for the mission to be successful. EDIT: I think I know, you use shpOrderAttack! (correct me if I'm wrong.) shpOrderAttack sets the guide pointer (like the pointer that points to a sung transport in those missions where you have to kill one of t...
