I'm making a plugin that I hope will someday morph into a TC, and to start, I'm doing the very basics, including s˙st and spöb resources. I've created 3 systems so far, and 8 stellar objects, all for one of the systems. Unfortunately, for some reason, it seems to have broken somehow. At first I thought the government settings were at fault, and, sure enough, somehow, probably during a Classic crash (ResEdit and NovaTools tend to do that occasionally), the governments were set to random numbers. So I reset the government RID's back to 128 (and yes, I do have a gövt resource, several in fact, only RID 128 used for anything). It still doesn't work. For some reason, just after the progress bar finishes, EVN unexpectedly quits. I know that the problem is either in the s˙st or the spöb resource because I took those out of the main plugin, put them in a separate plugin, removed the main one from the plugin folder, and still got the error. Any data needed can be provided. Thanks!

Take all your pilots out of the pilots Evnova folder. Start up nova and creat a new pilot.

You may need to up the memory.

I can't think of any other reason right now.

"...For what we see now is only a shadow of things to come..."

Tried that. It loads fully, but then crashes after I to make a new pilot. It does succeed, but when it loads, it crashes.

Could be something like the pilot is trying to be added to a system which doesn't exist. Try adding a char resource to your plug to ensure a new pilot starts in a system you have.

Also, you might want to check that your spob's graphics are correct. I had a problem with crashes because I'd acidently set spob to have a non-existant graphic.

Failing that, send me a copy and I'll have a look at it simondugard@hotmail.com.

Well, it still doesn't work. I tried both 1000 (default Earth pic) and -1, and it made no difference. I already had the chär resource, and yes, it is set to one of three s˙sts that I've created (I assume -1 is the correct value for the 4th) so... check you're email, I guess. I've reset the pic numbers to what they were before the changes took place (Mars, Jupiter for two of them)

Got it. I'll let you know if I find anything.

Problem fixed. Some of the graphics in the spob were set 1000 too high. When I changed the IDs back the plug worked fine for me.

So the Earth pic is actually 0, not 1000? I guess I didn't look closely enough at the pict numbers... or maybe I was in index #s when it should have been RID's... Anyway, thanks! The help is much appreciated.

Yeah. If the spob window in Nova Tools is set to use Index # (which is the default I think), then the pic for Earth is 0. If Nova Tools is set to use the Resource IDs then its 1000.
