====== Welcome and Overview ====== Welcome to the official [[http://www.neurohack.com/transcendence/|Transcendence]] wiki! Transcendence is a top-down space shooter with roguelike randomization set in the human-colonized area of known space. You play as a galactic pilgrim, called through your dreams to the galaxy's core by a mysterious god-like being known as Domina. You must make your way system by system, dealing with pirates, corporations, the military, and post-human faction on your way to... something transcendent. Transcendence was created by George Moromisato and is under continuing development by him. The Transcendence engine is currently closed source, but the XML and lisp code that implements the story, content, and much of the functionality is freely available to be used in extensions and the source art assets are available for download under a Creative Commons license **Version 1.01** is the current stable version. **Version 1.07(a)** is the current "beta" version, and is only available on the forums. Most betas are very stable, and add features that make mod authors happy (and thus, many new mods require them), but some are lemons... * [[ChangeLog]] --- Keep up to date with new releases here. * [[FAQ]] * [[Version History]] --- Major Milestones in the history of Transcendence ===== Important - Community Sites - Account Activation ===== To ward off a deluge of spambots and the like, the community administration has elected to require **manual account activation** on all community sites. If you are stuck here, the //fastest// way to get activated is always to go to the #transendence [[IRC]] channel and ask staff (people with little pluses by their names) there to help you. ([[http://webchat.freenode.net/?nick=WikiShuttle..&channels=transcendence-bots,transcendence&uio=OT10cnVlJjExPTExMw0|Quick web IRC access here!]]). Azar_Wolf, alterecco, Ttech, and Gambit- are good places to start for forums, wiki, and bugtrac. Say their names to get their attention. Forums accounts will get activated eventually if they don't look like spambots; for the other sites you need to request it. FIXME Add email / other activation methods here. ===== Important - Reporting Bugs ===== All bugs and enhancement requests need to be entered into the [[http://wiki.neurohack.com/transcendence/trac/|The Bug Tracking System]] to be evaluated by the game's developer. However, discussing [[http://www.neurohack.com/transcendence/forums/viewforum.php?f=18|bugs]] and [[http://www.neurohack.com/transcendence/forums/viewforum.php?f=3|suggestions]] on the forums or [[http://webchat.freenode.net/?nick=WikiShuttle..&channels=transcendence-bots,transcendence&uio=OT10cnVlJjExPTExMw0|IRC]] first is good, especially if you don't have a feel for what's already been suggested and reported. People will help you find prior discussion on the topic, help you get your accounts set up, and might even submit a ticket in your behalf if they're sold on the idea and you're having trouble. ====== For Players ====== * Getting Started * [[Choosing Your Ship]] --- There is nothing you can't do with a ship, but they //are// geared toward different play-styles. * [[Equipment for the Early Game]] * [[Atarlost's Guide to Weapons]] * [[Prophet's Guide to Misc Device|Prophet's Guide to Misc Devices]] * Gameplay * [[Wolfy's Starship Guide]] --- Identification Chart inluded * [[Stations]] --- For trade, missions, or blowin' up. * [[Factions]] --- Who's who in the galaxy. * [[Domina Powers]] --- The mysteries of the **I**nvoke command * [[list of systems]] --- list of systems for those impatient to get to Heretic *[[gameplay:Radiation]] *[[gameplay:Binary Star Systems]] *[[gameplay:NonCritical]] *[[gameplay:Omnidirectional]] *[[gameplay:Weapon Chance]] *[[gameplay:Mining]] * [[Other Information]] * Configuration * [[Player's Guide to Mods]] * [[Settings.xml]] --- Keybinding and configuration * [[Command Line Switches]] * [[Intro screen easter-egg commands|Intro Screen Keys]] * [[community:Transcendence on Wine|Run Transcendence on Wine]] ====== For Modders ====== Transcendence is a highly extensible game.
