Okay, there's a pretty good beginner's guide to Res-Edit (If you don't have that, you can get it from the (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/cgi-bin/vftp/show.pl?product=ev&category;=utilities&display;=date&page;=1")Utilities(/url) section on the (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/games/ev/addons.html")EV Addons page(/url)) in the (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/cgi-bin/vftp/show.pl?product=ev&category;=guides&display;=date&page;=1")Guides(/url) or (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/cgi-bin/vftp/show.pl?product=ev&category;=utilities&display;=date&page;=1")Utilities(/url) section (I can't remember which). Res-Edit is one of the best editors (if not the best) for EV/O. However, the guide is only for EV. It's very similar, but there are some things that must be different.
PS-Just for future reference, this kind of a topic should be on the (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/cgi-bin/ubb/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&number;=9&SUBMIT;=Go")Developer's Board(/url).

Even though EV Edit is really buggy it really helped me first understand what designing plug-ins was all about. I think if you download that first then go with Res-Edit you will find it a little easier.

Oh, and you might want to download the TPH Development Kit, too. It has something in it that (unless you want to be typing in hex) is essential to using Res-Edit to make plugins for EV/O: The EV Templates.

Hey, forgetting what goes on what board is nothing, we won't get mad at you for that, your AOL speak, however.... 
Anyways, moving this to the right place now...
