      At the moment, yes, but I'm working on changing that for some fields like the mission bit values where that would be a problem.

    • A quick update on development progress for anyone who's interested: I've sent the first beta out to the testers, so it shouldn't be too long before MissionComputer for EV Override is released.

    • Hey DA:
      -Will there be a mission linking ability?
      -And will it be capatible for the original EV as well? Or will you release a different one? Same question for EVN.

      I will only be making plugs for EV and EVN, so which will it be available for?

      What do you mean by mission linking?

      Here's what I said in the first post of this thread:

It includes full EV Override 1.0.2 support, and, while the initial relase supports EV Override only, I plan to write a version that supports the original Escape Velocity as well. It is unlikely that I will write an EV Nova version, however, given the work R &R Software have already put into their NovaTools.

      I think he means making strings of missions.

      you know, like rebel persuit I leads to rebel persuit II, which leads to rebel persuit III so on.

      the official term would be "Comp/FailBitSet

    • Well, it certainly has full mission bit suppot, but there's no special automatic mission linking features, and I don't see why they would be needed anyway.
