Sorry to bother you for such a question but, I cannot seem to figure out how some of the Id's link to one another for a plug I am creating for EVC.
Say I have a target pic for a ship I place it in the plug witch I am making in reseditbut how do I link it to the Ship resource it belongs to. (Also how would say the outfit lighting fighter know to use the lightning ship?)
Also I have input a new sprites/masks linked them to a spin resource (how do you do those i's?). I then made a ship with the same ID as the spin. I understand all of the information required. So I figure my ship will work. Nope. So I have made a dude resource and fleet resource useing this ship, but to no avail. It does not even show up.
I can not find this in either the bible or by search. I cannot beleive I can not figure this out but my head got sore from banging it of the table, so i resolved to ask you.
Thanks in advance

I could probably help you there. Unfortunately, I don't know what you mean by 'EVC'. If 'EVC' stands for EV Classic (in other words, the original EV) I have had tons of experience. Write back & tell me.

EVC does, pretty much universally, stand for the original Escape Velocity.

Lord Demonthenes, the answer to your questions:

To allocate a target PICT, give the ship's target image a resource ID of <it's resource ID> - 128 + 3000. So if you were using ship ID #140, place the target PICT at ID 3012.

To allocate a particular fighter to a bay, open the fighter bay's wëap resource. Give the bay a Guidance of 99 to make it a fighter bay, and then give it an AmmoType of the carried ships resource ID.

As for making the ď, press option-u and then press i.

Your last question has me stumped, I'm afraid... anyone else have nay suggestions?

Ya sorry Evc means Escape Velocity Classic (the original).
I'll keep trying with the ships trying to make them appear, thank you VERY much for that helpful information though Mazca.

The Id value for shipyard pics is determined in the same way as target pics but instead adding ____ correct? If so what is this number? (and hail pics to)
Sorry I am so full of questions :redface:

Sorry I didn't get back to you very fast but my ISP has a time limit (it kicked me off the net & halfway across the room) :). There's not much point me answering your question now but if you have any others then I could probably help you with those.

What causes the Ev game series to stop saving your pilot file when you land? This probably is caused by my plug right?
<ZAP> (got rid of useless question)
Any way thanks for being so helpful guys.
Edit: ok i figured out the hail/buy/target pics for ships can someone give me the equation for outfit pics?
