I created a ship today, and I wanted to test it out in EV. I made the appropriately spun Pic and Mask (both PICT documents), and I put the graphics in the sprites part of the ship-editor in EV-Edit, and the green grid showed up, which i thought meant it was ok. I'm almost positive I have done all the statistics right. Anyway, whenever I start up EV I load the pilot file and whenever I click "Enter Ship," or "Enter Pilot," or whatever, EV quits because of a Type 1 error. Any theories on whats going on?

Correction: Error Type 3

Oh yeah, don't use EV-Edit, it's really buggy, besides EV-Edit can't do all the nifty features that are in 1.0.2

Ok, I have a three step fix for you:

1. Download ResEdit, its in the files section
2. Download the EV Bible, annotaded edition, and read it
3. Download the EVO 1.0.2 Template (TMPL), and paste it into your plug

If you do that, you'll be a real plug maker. EV-Edit truly sucks, and rarely works. Even EEEV and Schmelta-V are better than it. Actually, I might have a copy of delta_v around here somewhere...

True, but the EVO 1.0.2 TMPL wont hurt. He might get ambitious.

For anyone who cares, I did finally get the ship working after about 2 hours of very tedious testing. Also, while I do agree EV-Edit is buggy, it's a great program and especially easy to use, you just have to fiddle around with it when it doesn't work your way. As for EEEV, I'm looking forward to it.

P.S.
Wasn't there an EEEV for the original EV? I think I remember using it once or twice.

dude, ditch those editors and get ResEdit... its so much better than any of them... and is very easy to use once you get the hang of it...

I know how to use Res Edit, but it just doesn't work for me with EVO, I can't get the whole template thing to work.

Just use Resourcerer with the annotated templates, it's easier than ResEdit an the normal templates. Oh, and get FlagMaker 2 as well.

do you have ResEdit 2.1.3? do you have the 1.0.2 templates? and do you know how to create new resources after you pasted in the templates? hehe... it should work just fine...
