Can someone make a plugin where the government for a system changes when you dominate a planet? Or can someone show me how to get the EVN tools to work and how to use them? This is for PC if that helps at all.

You'll have to tell us what the problem is before we can help you there. There shouldn't be any difficulty in getting it to work. Read the pinned topics and make sure you've got the right program.

Ok, looking at just one system with one planet for the moment, you'll need to set a bit in the OnDominate field of the planet, call it bxxx. Then you'll need to add !bxxx to the Visibility field of the system, and create a new system which is identical to the first, only the government is "Dominated" or whatever, and place bxxx in the Visibility field. Note that the planet in the new system needs to have the "Start off dominated" flag set.
Now, to expand this to the whole Nova universe, you'll need a unique bit for each planet and station, and a new s˙st resource to correspond to each planet and station. Note that the bit structure gets really complicated for four-planet systems, since to take in to account the different order that players dominate planets, you require some sixteen resources. Another catch is that random missions would no longer work, since Nova requires a destination that will not be changed by a mission bit. Also, this may or may not work in PC Nova 1.0.6 - it tends to have a fit if the Nxxx operator is used while the player is in flight, but I don't know what would happen if the visibility of a system changed while the player was in flight...
In my opinion, it's just not worth the effort.
To Guy: I tried using tools from http://w00tware.ev-nova.net/ but I never got any to work because they were all files I couldn't access unless I had a certain program.
To Belthazar: If it really isn't worth the effort then I guess I'll hide the borders of the governments. I just thought it would look better to see the galaxy under one government than three.

That's because those are all Mac plugin editors. The sole PC editor is EVNEW.

You can do it if you like - don't let me discourage you. Some people would probably love you for it. I personally don't consider it worth the effort, but you may think otherwise.

Ah yes, those are mac tools. Check the Important Links topic to find the windows program.
It just sets the bit. They dont set the planet to "Dominated". All they do is tell Avoid... missions to start.
