      One word: PUNCTUATION! That was one of the most incoherent posts I've seen in a while. People will be much more lnclined to help you if you capitalize and use punctuation. "I'm" is spelled "I'm" not "im".

      I do not understand,"I'm" is spelled punctuation I must be on the punctuation board sorry about that I will try to find the right place to post this subject. I was asking for help with the EV Super Nova game, Ambrosia has EV, EVO, EVN, and I wanted to thru Ambrosia have another game called EV Super Nova this is my third attempt at it I was only asking for help. 🙂

      Hey, give the guy a break, ok? I've complained about it before, but then I learned that english isn't Robert's first language, so you've gotta just try to read past the obvious grammar problems.

      What I think he said was that he had to trash the software on this computer, and he's getting tired of having to redo all of his work. He's asking for help on his plugin because he's tired of having to do it all by himself (for the third time).

      And kbmeister, don't forget that the internet, email, instant messaging, and webboards aren't terribly conducive to good spelling, grammar, or english. You can't forget that many people tend to ignore capital letters when they use the internet. Since Ambrosia's software is available to the whole world, people who don't speak English as a first (or second, for that matter) language have access to it. Simply put, there are lots of plugin developers who simply don't speak or write English very well, and you've just got to try to understand what they're saying. If I were to try to make a post in say japanese, it'd be worse than Robert's english, so give the guy a break. It could be a lot worse.

      I'm sorry, I didn't realize that. And I guess I should read my posts over a little more thoroughly too. That came out a whole lot more hostile than I intended... :redface:

      Which OS? Are you having system crashes? Do you have Norton Tools?

      I've never seen Apple's Disk Doctor flag a bad piece of software -- it only pops up if you have a corrupt OS, bad boot blocks, or a major problem on your hard disk. It most often pops up after a system crash.

      We need to know more detail if we are going to help. One piece of advice, though; frequent back-ups. All of my EV work is backed up on CD about once a month -- and I do all my work on copies.

      Amen. All my personal files are backed up on the first of the month, so none of my files are ever more than 30 or 31 days out of date if I lose one. It's a great habit to get into. I almost look forward to Backup Day now. 😄

      Hi AfterBlast hold on I will say hi on the other one.

      ------------------

    • I'm not really sure, but I think you're saying you want Ambrosia to publish your plug-in as a new game? If so, don't bother. Ambrosia isn't making an ev4.

      Um... Short sentances please. One subject for each sentance. One object. One verb. 🙂

      Are you making an EVN plug-in? Are you having trouble with OS-X? What can we help with?
