Is there something obvious I'm missing?
I used to make plugins back in the days before Nova, and although they never amounted to anything, it was a relatively straightforward process. Replacing the default Override graphics with my own crude attempts was a simple matter of overriding (no pun intended) the corresponding resources. Not so with Nova. Making simple ships and space objects has been a constant headache, since the engine refuses to acknowledge the plugin's graphic resources. Though a lot of cursing and hair pulling, I figured out that this was because nova used the rleD graphic format instead of the PICT graphics I was using (I feel so old school now). Trying to delete the rleD graphics that were superseding mine caused Nova to complain and crash. Is there something I'm not doing that I should be? I tried downloading absolute minimum but it seems to be broken. I just want to be able to crate small universes for my own amusement the way I used to.
