    • max sprites


      hey, im new and this is my first post. I was wondering if there was a max number of ship and weapon sprites that the engine can handle, also - do different variations of the same sprite count? thanks

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

    • i know the max for evo is 64, how about evn?

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

    • pbj, this isn't a chatroom, please wait more than 6 minutes for an answer. You presently have two choices: run a search for a similar topic, or download the EVN bible which has all the necessary resource information.

      Yes, read the Bible. On windows, its in the EV nova documentation folder. It will answer your questions about the EVN Engine. Course, like anything called a "Bible" it contains alot of out of date stuff in it, and a few things that are just plain wrong. There are a few places where the range of acceptable values shown for a field is the range from EVO, however, if in doubt, check part I: Game Constants, and extrapolate from the range given to get the proper range for EVN - the game constants part is accurate. And if you can point to flet's in dude's, nobody knows how.

    • i know about the bible - it say max ships in system is 64. But is there a total number of ships you can have. For example - can 70 differnet ships be available at a shipyard?

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

    • "Max Ship Classes 768"
      -Line 34 in Game Constants

      And thats counting variant ships.

    • (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/news/upcoming/novabible.html")The Bible(/url) clearly says there are 768 ship classes. 😉 It is in Part I, right after the intro. 😛 So technically, you can have 768 ships in the shipyard. That's a lot of ships.

      Anyways, welcome to the boards! 🙂
