+ | ====== Introduction ====== | ||
+ | **Modding** is a big part of Transcendence. By creating a mod you can change the game for yourself, and share those changes with others. | ||
+ | You can make it easier or harder, you can fly different ships or create entire new universes. Transcendence mods are very flexible, having a complex xml syntax and a scripting language to create dynamic mods. On this page we will try to introduce you to using mods, show off some of the best mods made by the community and introduce you to making your own mods. | ||

+ | ====== Finding Mods ====== | ||

+ | |||
+ | ====== Installing/ | ||
+ | Mods are designed to run once they are placed inside an /Extensions subfolder within Transcendence' | ||
+ | |||
+ | On Xelerus, mods are enclosed within a .zip file. To install a mod downloaded from Xelerus, extract the contents of the .zip file into the /Extensions subfolder. Deleting a mod downloaded from Xelerus is done in the same way as a normal mod. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Be advised that saved games which were started with mods installed are unlikely to load if mods are deleted. | ||
