OOPS! Wrong topic. Sorry dude! That's not was I was referring to when I asked him for the char name `n stuff. I'm taling about making him one. Since he gave me the file, he gets a role in the Plug. IDIODO!

DAMMIT! Where the heck do I put the pict and mask to put the SUN where I want it to go? I want it to go in one of my systems. The location is 448,-268. So, where do I enter that number? I can't find anything in EVBible AE that tells me how to add a planet.

Calm down!
it's all explained (url="http://"http://homepage.mac.com/thorprime/howto.sit") here(/url).
And I really suggest you do a lot of fiddiling with things like EV edit, then examining the plugs created with it, it Res edit.

I was experimenting with adding a sun just before I found this web board. Knocked up a glowy gassy thing in Bryce and replaced one of the stock spob #'s (so I could use it over and over easily). Having trouble with ship behaviors, tho. They want to dock at it! I made a sun that was dangerous to approach (created an immobile, invincible ship called "The Sun" that hates everyone and fires invisible, inaudible beams), but some of the more aggressive A.I.'s got a moth-to-the-flame attitude about that.
Sigh.
I guess best would be to split the attack; make the "sun" (stellar) the fourth stellar in a system and place it far enough out of the way most ships ignore it. And save the "sun" (xenophobic ship) for specific scenarios.

Your problems all stem from the fact that the EV engine doesn't support objects that just sit there and don't do anything. 
I'm not sure if setting it as uninhabited and undockable would work, but I don't think I've noticed any AI ship in EV:O try landing on Mars ...

WOW THORPRIME! Thanks for all the info. . . but I can't get EV to work now. It says that it "encountered an error while starting up, probably due to memory. Please increase EV's memory."
And yet, I have the following set:
Minimum: 6600 k
Preferred: 22800 k
So, as far as I can tell, it's fine. But, I can't start it up. The ID # of all the stuff you told me to do are NOT conflicting with other ID #s. Well, as far as I can tell. But I could be wrong. I will look around for other Resource ID #s that may have the same as the ones I set. But other wise, it is all fine.
Once again, and in advance, thanks!

It's not your memmory. One of the resources is pointing to another resource that dosen't exist.
Use (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/cgi-bin/mirror-url.pl?AddOns/Plug_Checker.sea.bin")Plug checker(/url) to find out which resource(s) are causeing EV to crash.
It's not the plug I included that crashing it's the one you tried to make by my instructions right?

Yeah exactly. Now, the SpritesID and the MasksID are supposed to be 2024 and 2025 right?
And I was supposed to make a copy of the system I wanted the sun to be in, then paste it in the same place as the same system, but change those resource numbers right?

I clicked the link you gave me and tried to install it. But guess what! It's an endless installer. What it did was led to another installer, but with a different icon logo thing. Then, that installer led to the first installer. So, I am just going to download it from the add-ons page. Thanks for suggesting it anyway!

I agree Jules.
PlugChecker is a load of frickin crap! It says that one of my systems is no owned by a government and will crash the game. Well, I went into EVO DM and set it to Confederation. Did another check, still says the same frickin thing. In fact, it says every system has a problem. Like, dudes are wrong and stuff. It's pissing me off. I think I'm gonna have to close down my Plug. Unless I can get some strait answers as to what is wrong with the Plug. (I'm not mad at any of you, I'm mad at whatever is wrong with the frickin plug)

Oooh sounds bad. What happened. Thats another thing, always work with a copy of the plug incase something really ****s up and breaks as there is not much you can do to save it then.

I did keep a copy of it. In fact I had two. But the copy is just a copy of the regular. And the regular is crapped out. The dude type are all wrong `n everything. Well, since I have a good understanding and cooperative attitude, I'm doing it all on ResEdit. I see it's not that hard. THANKS TO THORPRIME FOR ALL THE HELP!

Well, I need to know how to make the RE plug-in file into an actual Plug-In that when you click on it, it takes you to EV. Anyone know how? (that was dumb, of course you do)

I wouldn't do that yet. Many things that Plug checker says will crash EV, don't. Including a spob with no government. The EV senerio itself has spobs with no attached governmen't. Mabe you could send me a copy of your plug and I could point out what needs to be fixed and what are just SNAFU errors.
To make a plugin look like a plug change the type to Mpďf and creator to Mërc in the getinfo window in RE
I am also glad that you find my advice helpfull.
(edit)Do you have AIM, if so whats your name(/edit)

It should already do so...if you started with "Blank Plug" or another plug-in.
If not, is about the easiest thing in ResEdit you'll ever encounter; open a good plug-in. Don't open any resources. Use "File Menu: Get Info for ###" Copy the "Type" and "Creator" that appear right near the top, and paste them in the same places on your new plug-in.
Instantly, the icon on your new plug-in will change, and it will now behave.

Hey, ThorPrime. I like it as well...do you think it'd be alright if you could make me an animated version for NOVA (a mask'd be nice as well!

Thanks again ThorPrime. Is AIM AOL Instant Messenger? If so, no I don't cuz I don't use AOL. If it isn't, how can I get it? I do have Y!M though.

(url="http://"http://homepage.mac.com/thorprime/sun.html")Here(/url) is preview of the animated version. Give the animation a litle while to smooth out, it will.
I still have to create a blended loop of the mask to match it and a few other little things.
should I post the final version as an image sequecnce, a movie, or one large image.?
If you think the animation is to fast I have a slower version.
