    • A cry for help

      My plug-in is making a large cry for help. Some of it in specific areas, some of it generalized.

      First,

      Any writers wanting to contribute to a major (13MB+) plug-in in by writing descs and/or missions would be greatly appreciated

      If you can write, please tell me. I am in despair at having to come up with multiple contradictory plot lines.

      Secondly, some specific problems (EVO plug):

      Witha couple weapons, I have the problem that I lose them when I land on planets, even though I do have a related outf for them that matches. Is there anything else that could be going on?

      Does anyone know the pixel size and color depth for the title splash screen?

      Does anyone know of someone who has or could make a cicn series for a smoke trail (so we can have other colors and styles other than the grey and red currently avaliable)

      I'd love to get this plug to beta by June. Hopefully, it can happen, but I'm on the edge of vaporware right now.

      P.S. The web address in my sig is incorrect, the new one is (url="http://"http://homepage.mac.com/gage_stryker/Visible_Menace/index.html")http://homepage.mac....nace/index.html(/url)

      It appears to be 832x624. I assume the color depth is 8-bit, but may be 16-bit.

      It is 8-bit, but, unlike all the other graphics, it can be assigned a custom pallette (clut resource). I'm not 100% sure how to do this, as I've never done it myself, but what that means is that, while it can only have 256 different colors, you get to pick which 256 you want. Everything else in EV/O uses the standard system pallette.

      I'm also pretty sure that the image size can be whatever you want, though I wouldn't care to guarantee that. Test it and see.
