    • Making Plugins


      I think there should be an easy to read guide, for people who have never seen any type of computer language, and think computers are run inside by hampsters pressing buttons.

    • okay, I have a plugin question:

      First of all: I made a plugin and gave myself a new weapon and a new ship, they are pretty powerful, and all of a sudden, tons of other ships have the custom ship that I made, and the weapon, and i am getting beat up. Hpw do I make it so only I have it?

      Also:

      I am going to start a TC for my own personal enjoyment, So how do i clear everything with my plugin?

    • You need to give your new ship/weapon/outfit RID's that aren't used in the default scenario. Should do the trick.

      ------------------

      Edit: above response to flag's first question, not the second.

      Put the Data Files in a safe place and make new ones. No plugs needed.

    • Great. Well, thanks for the help, guys.

      BUT:

      I changed the IDs and now I can't make a new pilot. Every time I try o make a new one, or load an old one, it crashes.

      BTW:
      I am not sure if this really matters, but I am using the Override TC for Nova, with Cold Fusion on Windows.

    • What's a TC?

      ------------------

    • TC= Total Conversion. This is a completely new story unrelated to the EVN universe, set in a new setting, featuring new ships, planets, outfits, etc, and with an original plot containing its own events, characters, and ambience.

      I think that question is actually in the EV Developer's FAQ. That might be worth a read, angel!

      Did you remove the data files? You only do that when making a TC.
      Also, make sure the changes you made are in a seperate plug-in, which is in the plug-ins folder. Just check and make sure EVERYTHING is normal except the change you made.

      ------------------

    • Right. All I did was change some RIDs of a ship, and 2 outfits. I looked in Data Files, changed my number to 1 munber above the last one on the Default list, and now my games chrashes.

      BTW-

      I not so n00b that i removed data files 😉

    • Make sure you have a ship and shan resource for your new ship.(And, they must have the same ID#) Forgetting the shan will cause problems...

      ------------------

    • Well, I had forgotten to change the Shan rescource, but when I did, then went to make a new pilot, it chrashed again.

      Ahh, if you looked at the escape pod (895)as the last ship, and set your new ship as 896, I think that's out of the range that the engine wants ships to be. (I think 768 max ship types). Use the RID's from 415 through 894, and you shouldn't have a problem.

      Right you must have an escape pod that uses the same ID as the original. Also make sure that you have a chars resource so that the computer knows what your new pilot is supposed to be equipped with.

      Frankly, I would sugggest not trying to take on a TC at this time. There's a lot of little details that are necessary when replacing data files. There also just a lot of little details to making plugs in general. If you don't understand all these you're going to have a difficult time. Start small instead. Learn how things work and what does what. A good TC takes tremendous time and although that affords you time to learn, it goes much smoother if you have at least some concept of what's necessary.

    • As I said: this is in override Nova for windows.

      The Escape pod ID is 191, os i put my ship at 192, but it doesn't work.

      I can't make a character resource because Windows Nova doesn't have it

      HELP!!

      Kame: I am not going to try to go out and create a galaxy. I am just going to create system by system, and play in each one as i go.

      With what? There is no easy step by step guide. The best thing we have is the Nova bible. Try searching the boards for guides as this has been brought up many times before. Also try looking on the Add Ons page for a file called TutorialsInS. It has everything for making ships.

    • Sorry, dude. I missed that part about Override, so my suggestion made little sense.

      ------------------

      Edit: I'm on Windows as well, and you CAN use the char resource. You just can't have a choice of chars. You can edit the default char in any way you choose, and it will work just fine.
