Project 1:
Pilot Converter 2.0
(url="http://"http://phair.csh.rit.edu/~seant/EV/PilotConvert/")http://phair.csh.rit...V/PilotConvert/(/url)
This is actually a finished project I've been sitting on for almost a year, now. It is an application that takes pilot files from EV and EVO and converts them to files the EVN engine can read and use. Why? Well, PC2 is a solution searching for a problem. I'd hoped that ports of EV and EVO would come out soon, but no such luck.
See (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/webboard/Forum9/HTML/002586.html")http://www.ambrosias...TML/002586.html(/url) for my plug for the app. back in March of this year.
Project 2:
Spreadsheet templates that facilitate porting EV to EVN
Because I really want a ports of EV and EVO, and am tried of waiting, I've started making spreadsheets that automagically move resource data around to the correct places for EVN, and fills in data as needed. I may abandon this approach in favor of making an application, since PortAuthority hasn't appeared yet (as far as I know).
Project 3:
This one doesn't have a name, but has been on my mind for years. I'm interested making a multi part plug in that chronicles Man's expansion to the stars. It uses the basic EV universe with a modified EVO universe overlaid in places (did you ever take a good look at the EV and EVO universes and see just how similar the syst layout is?). Includes some ideas on generating plugins based on pilot data
Project 4:
Shared Universe
My previous work on perMaker (http://phair.csh.rit...t/EV/persMaker/) made me realize one could set up a server to which different players upload their pilot data on a regular basis. This data could then be accesses by other players to populate their game with 'real people'. It wouldn't be EVMP, but it would be interesting.
Project 5:
DeNovo
Despite what the name says, the project began before I'd heard there was going to be an EV3. It's an application that automatically generates a universe (systs, spobs, astroids, interference, etc) based on basic data provided by the user. I had an appleScript that did the job, but was unhappy with the speed. The project has gotten bogged down as I've been playing with the idea of allowing for autogeneration of races (and that leads down a whole bunch of biological modeling that distracted me).
Of all these, only 1 and 2 are things I'm actively working on (when I'm not studying). I'd be very happy if I could stop work on project 2, as the project doesn't interest me; I just want the final results.
