    • Hey, UniversalWolf...


      I have downloaded your plug. I must say I'm astonished at the quanity and quality of the work. You did this all by yourself? Wow. That is just incredible. I just feel like thanking you publicly for your great contribution to the EV/O Development Community.

      Also, a lot of your grahpics (mostly outfit, and and weapon spďn) have found good homes in Mille Terrae. Again, thanks a lot. I really apprechiate this 🙂

    • Thanks for the kind words.

      In the beginning, many years ago, I started out with one or two people on my plug-in team. They dropped out, and I was left to my own devices. I tried a few times to get some partners, but it never panned out. The bottom line is that everything in the Incomplete file was done by me. Since you've looked at it I bet you can understand how I got burned out on the project. I always intended to finish it up, but to this day I can't get the fire kindled as hot as it needs to be to do any serious work on the thing. Could be because I like doing graphics and hate coding missions.

      In any case, glad you're enjoying what you see.

    • What plug? I'd like to download it now!

      I'm always making the mods mad doing something or another, but I'll never learn! I'll never turn! Look at my karma!

    • The plug is called Incomplete. It's in the download section now.

    • Wolf, I noticed that the map, that appears when you play the game by clicking "m", has been enlarged in your plug-in, so it shows a much larger than usual area. How did you get that to work?

    • Capt. C,

      If you look at the different sub-plug-ins in the package you'll see one called "Huge Map." The answers you seek lie within.

    • UW I think posting a plug in to have people finish it is genius. I hope a lot of people finish it in different ways, I'm rather anxious to play it, so far I've only reaped the resources, but after I do, I'll see what I can do. Very cool.

      FLOBBLEDEEFEE, that's what we said when we were mad or frustrated, we said it because we were idiots. A bunch of inbred, illiterate, cro-magnons, blowin' our noses on crusty handkerchiefs, waiting in line for our heads to burst into flames. That's the way it was, and we liked it!

    • I'm not sure it's genius as much as desperation, but thank you.

      I've been playing around with the plug a bit, actually, and it is playable the way it is. Some things are messed up, but there are a few missions, and you can at least fly around the Imperial Cluster and see the planets and things.

      I hadn't planned to do any more work on it, but ironically now that I've released it I seem to have a bit of renewed interest. Maybe I'll touch up a few of the inconsistencies and release a new version as a playable alpha or something. The limit on the size of dësc resources really bugs me, though...

      Anyway, if anyone has any comments along the lines of, "I like this," or, "I don't like this," please do post them. They would be helpful.

      On the list are the following:

      -replace VSL warships with cooler ones
      -finish SingStar, VSL, and Galland mission strings
      -edit most obvious dësc resources for correctness
      -realign outfit availability, including required mission bits

      If I finish this stuff I'll be happy.

      Thanks again!

    • I would just like to say that I agree with everyne who has complemented you on the incomplete plug. The graphics are generally pretty good, and (IMHO) a plug is only as good as it's graphics.

    • It's "Incomplete" on the EVO Addons page. It's really cool, and I've already used a few of the sounds in it for one of my EVO Plugs (yet to be released).

    • I've completed three new ships to replace the VSL Cruiser, Destroyer, and Corvette.

      I've also completed the SingStar mission thread (well, almost).

      Better not get ahead of myself.
