Just use the wëap resources to make a beam with no damage and a negative impact value.

Beams do not require pictures , they are automaticlly generated by the engine.
Be sure to read the EVN Bible , its tells you what all the fields are for.

How do make a pic for the beam?
If you are talking about outfit pics, and if you dont have the skill to make Nova style outfit pics for your beam. Just hue one of the original beam outfit pics to a new color, there now that crown of thorns is firing a green tractor beam.

The flags are hex fields which do various different things. If you check the appropriate boxes in NovaTools, it will have that effect. The unused fields are just that - unused. Just leave those at 0 or -1 in the TMPLs. I would suggest you go to (url="http://"http://www.ev-nova.net/")www.ev-nova.net/(/url) and download NovaTools from the link on the main page. That is a graphical interface for Resedit, made by w00tware.

Yep, and the reason it can follow its target is because of the boosters on the latch head.
everything is nicely explained.------------------

Cool. I wish I'd thought of that!

Hello again,
I was wondering what you do for the spin res., the FAQ said you need that completed?
Also, I have a pic pasted for my plug, but how do I make it show up in the outfitter, and how do I get it to the right size(and hat is it)?
Also, how do I make a description for the outfit?
thank you
(i'm so stupid with these things)------------------

I can't help you with spďns right now, but outfits are pretty simple.
What you need is an oütf resource with the same ID as your wëap resource (your tractor beam). You need a PICT resource of your outfit that is 200 pixels by 200 pixels. NovaTools calculates the ID of the PICT resource you need*, so everything's pretty self-explanatory.
The oütf resource stores all the info concerning the outfit, such as the price, name, tech level, etc.*beam weapons only need one picture - the one you see in the outfitters. I think the algorithm is "ID of oütf + 6000 - 128"
As for getting the picture to be the right size, you could use GraphicConverter, which is shareware... search for it on (url="http://"http://www.versiontracker.com")VersionTracker(/url). I haven't had much luck with it, however, because I stink at remembering where menu items are.
Descriptions are stored in the dësc resource, and the ID of which goes like this:
ID of oütf + 3000 - 128.(shameless promotion)
(url="http://"http://www.evula.org/monster/studio/nc.html")NovaCalc(/url) will calculate all your ID needs and wants, and is absolutely free!!! Please be aware that a newer version is on my hard drive, and will be on the 'net hopefully by April 23rd, 2003.------------------
May those who love us, love us, and may those who don't love us, may God turn their hearts; and if He doesn't turn their hearts, may He turn their ankles, so we'll know them by their limping.

I have the pic to 200x200, do I leave it there or do I convert it to something else?
(I found a graphic converter ther by the way)------------------

By the way, Mantaray, did you get my e-mails offering to help you research Caribbean? One was called Caribbean Progress Log and the other Caribbean Research Help Offer. The offer still stands, if you are interested.

HI,
I was wondering how to make this plug-in compatible with others? Do I need to make sure that the ID # are different from all others? In that case, I would just need to use obscure #s noone has ever though of.------------------
RoLLeY49 -
Open other people's plugs and see which resources they use. Otherwise, just put a disclaimer in, stating that the plug is not guaranteed compatible with other plugs.

To post a plug you need web space and a way to upload a file onto it,. then you can just give us a link to it.
