    • [ANN] MissionComputer 1.3.0 Features Escape Velocity Support


      Today I posted MissionComputer 1.3.0, a new version of my scenario editor that now, for the first time, supports Escape Velocity as well as EV Override. Version 1.3.0 also includes several other relatively minor enhancements. MissionComputer is not intended at this time to completely replace traditional plug-in editing tools such as ResEdit, but complements them to provide an easier way of editing missions, descriptions, governments, fleets, düde resources, commodities, and the game's year offset. It also provides an easier way to look up the resource IDs needed when setting up plug-ins.

      MissionComputer, first released on 22 December 2001 after several months of development, is available both in a Carbon version designed for Apple's Mac OS X and in a Classic version for Mac OS 9 and below. Version 1.3.0 supports both the Escape Velocity 1.0.5 and EV Override 1.0.2 file formats. I have not yet decided whether future versions of MissionComputer or other similar utilities will support Ambrosia Software's upcoming new game EV Nova.

      Like all previous versions, MissionComputer 1.3.0 is available for free from my web site at (url="http://"http://davidarthur.evula.net/")davidarthur.evula.net(/url).

      COOL! I have always liked editing plugins but scince I don't know where t get anything but resedit or ?EVedit, and evedit is bad and resedit is confusing, I have never beedn able to put new quicktime movie in, or edit good missions. I have always wanted to insert a quicktime moovie so that whenever yu die i shows it.....
      Well, good job anyway!
