Is it possible to make fleets come from each of three planets in a system at the same time, and attack each other? So that there is a giant battle? Also, can you make it so that two factions will only attack each other from a distance, with only fighters entering the middle zone? I have a feeling this would be possible by assigning different govs to the warships and the fighters, but I'm not very sure.

Ships can prefer stand-off attacks, as set in the shďp resource. Fighters can be set not to prefer stand-off attacks.

I don't know if 3-way battles ever worked too well with the EV engine...

Nova has a better enemy/ally system than EVO did. You can make each of the govs hate the other two easily; the problem is getting the fleets to come out of the planets at the same time.

Plus, in the mďsn resource, you can select the ships to start from one of the system's Nav Default, allowing you to place them with precision at the beginning.

Welcome to the boards. You may want to register, but it's up to you.
This topic was fairly active a few days ago, and I just brought it back up to ask sparky if he needed help with Nova Tools specifically. He has not responded yet.
You can tell the "active nature" of a topic by the date of the last post and its relative location to the top of the page.

I copied the stuff in NT to the ResEdit prefs, and started ResEdit back up. I can't get anything Nova related to show up. So I figured that I had done something wrong, and trashed the prefs. Then I got a new prefs file, followed the directions again, and still nothing. Now I can't open the prefs file because it says the file is damaged. I took ResEdit off and redownloaded, but it still says that the prefs file is damaged.

I'm in OSX, so in Classic I'm in 9.2, which I know has caused problems with NT, but I haven't heard of anything like that.

About that Nova tools not working.... Did you deleate the prefs file at the same time as Res? Did you copy all the resources from NT to Res? Did you (while in Res) try making a Nova resource? They are shŠn, sŘst, spšb, weŠp(emphasis might be on e, not sure), oŸtf, p‘rs, Rle8, RleD, m•sn, etc.
