Hello,
I began work some days ago on a small plugin, consisting mainly of some new systems. Those systems are owned by a new government, which I want to have its own news network... And here is the problem: I didn't find how to replace the generic set of independant news which presently appears on the holovids of my government without deleting it for every independant system...
If someone could show me the track...

I think that if you change the news pict ID to the ID of your pict in your government you will fix your problem. I may have worded that poorly, and I haven't been editing for a while. Try it and see if that works, if it doesn't I check the topics I post in, so post here and I'll be back.

Well, thanks for the answer, but this has already been done...
The custom picture is here, but this hasn't any influence on the content of the news...
(EDIT) In fact, I read one more time my first post, and I must admit it wasn't clear at all... My problem is not the picture of the holovid itself (which is already changed), but what I would like the holovid to print. Sorry for the misunderstanding...

what i do is i get rid of the little used gonvt and change theirs and then give all their planets that you dont want of that gonvt and use the ID as yours.

Look around in the 'STR#' resource in one of the data files, you'll see one resource called "news strings" or something like that. There are several, 1 for each government - look in the EVN bible for info on this
Basically, just add a string resource with an ID one number higher than the last news string resource used in Nova, then edit your government to use that str# resource.
If that wasn't clear, don't blame me, I don't have the nova bible with me at the moment.

Thanks for your answers all, after rummaging some time it seems I have found a way... In fact, there is one STR# resource (n° 8101) used for any systems, not only the independent ones, and a series of crön resources which choose randomly from a set of news (STR# resources from 15000) and adapt the chosen news, depending on the governement... Then, with some crön resources carefully designed, I should be able to do what I want... I hope

Well, that was it. the trick is to use a range of crön resources which enable the news. Beware, the news is spread on the chosen government's holovids, but also on its allies ones... With a government allied to the Fed, the news of the Federation are mixed with yours. Well, The Feds won't be my allies, in that case...
