    • Is Anyone Interested In...


      ...a whole bunch of new custom ship, planet, and item graphics? And also some sounds and things?

      I started a huge plug-in a long, long time ago, and never finished it. It's been sitting on my hard drive for three years or so and I haven't so much as looked at it. Too bad, really, because I put loads of work into the thing. So much work that I just burned out on the project and never got the fire back.

      Anyway, there are probably more new graphics in the plug-in than there are in the entire standard EVO set, and they're pretty darn good if I do say so myself. Question is, are there any plug-in designers out there who would like some new material to work with? If anyone wants to put in the effort to finish my scenario, that would be great, but really I wouldn't mind if somebody just wanted to pick out graphics here and there, or even take all of them, and use them for his own purposes. They're just going to waste sitting on my Mac, so somebody might as well put them to good use.

      Before I upload anything I'd like to know if there is any interest in this, so please reply with encouragement or any questions you have.

      Thanks.

    • Hmm. Can you upload this stuff so we can all see it and then rip it to pieces to use in our plugs?

    • The best idea would be to just put the thingy up on the Web and let people download it. I, for one, would definitely download it...

    • Honestly, I am always looking for unfinished plug-ins that have had a decent amount of work put into them. I have an easeir time picking up and completing other peoples work than my own. A few questions though:

      • How much of the scenario, universe etc. is done?
      • Are the graphics a complete set or are there things missing here and there?
      • Is there and developmental documentation to go along with it.

    • I uploaded the file. The name is "Incomplete.sit.hqx" for those looking.

      Anon,

      If you're really interested in completing something, the file I uploaded could be exactly what you're looking for. The universe is HUGE, and it's mostly filled out. The graphics set is, for all practical purposes, complete. There may be something missing here and there, but otherwise there are about 20 new planet and space station graphics, all with new landscapes, about 20 new ships, all with complete graphic sets, and many, many ship weapons and upgrades, all with complete original graphics.

      Here's what I know is NOT done:

      There are a few missions, but not nearly enough for such a gigantic galaxy.
      Some missions are incomplete.
      Some of the planets and bars don't have descriptions.
      Some of the add-ons and ships may not have complete descriptions.
      Most of the written text has not been edited for spelling or correctness.
      Ship sets encountered in systems have not been adjusted to reflect political boundaries.

      I'm sure there are other things that are not finished, but they are mostly things like an inadequate number of jünk and përs resources. You can add more as you like, but it won't necessarily cripple the develpoment of the plug-in if you don't.

      Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys this, because I put one heck of pile of hours into it.

      If you have any more questions, ask away. I'll hang around and answer them if I can.
