    • Help! I can't open my plug-in!

      I've been working on a very large plug-in for EV Override, and right now I'm at 3 megabytes. I've been using EV-Edit, Mission Control, and a bit of resorcorer. I can't use resorcorer a lot because of my limited knowledge of its inner workings. I simply don't understand a lot of it because the EVO bible doesn't say a lot of stuff. Anyway, ever since I reached 3 megabytes, I've been unable to open up my plug-in with EV-Edit! Since I don't know how to use resorcorer, I can't work on my plug-in a bit! Please help! I'm open to any suggestions or advice!

      Please try to help soon. Thanks in advance.

      OK, I'll explain how to use resourcer.

      Resourcer is a more advanced ResEdit type tool. You simply drag+drop the plugin onto the resourcer app, and work from there. It's not hard, the resource types appear on the left list, when you select a resource type the resources appear on the right. Double click to edit them. This only works if the plugin has the TMPLs in though.

      I know how to use Resorcorer, however, some of it I don't understand. But anyway, no one's answered my question: How do I open up my plug-in?

      I've got no definitive solutions, but I do have a couple of suggestions.

      1: Assign more memory to EV-Edit. You may want to email Ben Chess, author of the program, as he might have had this problem reported to him before. Be sure to list system software version, amount of memory assigned, amount of RAM installed, et cetera.

      2: Start ResEdit. Under the File menu, choose Verify, then select your plug. If the program finds a problem—a touch of corruption, say—it should alert you.

      3: Try testing the plug with DYNA System's PlugChecker.

      Perhaps someone else here will have other suggestions. Good luck!

      Thanks. I'll try that.

      Which version do you have?

      3.2.3 is the most recent. I opened up all 26 megabytes of Mille Terrae in it with no problems. It just took forever to load.

      And I must recomend Pontus's EVO Developer's Map over EV-Edit.

      You can always split the data into several plugins if you still cant open it...

      P.S. Resourcer? BAH! I'll never give up Res Edit! (especialy since I don't have $200 :p)

      I increased EV-Edits memory and it worked again. Thanks OF.

      You got sick? That's too bad (seriously, I'm not trying to mock you). Oh well. Long Live the Rebellion won't be out for at least another week at the minimum, so you got plenty of time.
