      I have now released version 1.3.1 of MissionComputer, an update to my scenario editing tool for Escape Velocity and EV Override. MissionComputer is not intended at this time to completely replace traditional plug-in editing tools such as ResEdit, but complements them to provide an easier way of editing missions, descriptions, governments, fleets, düde resources, commodities, and (for EV Override only) the game's year offset. It also provides an easier way to look up the resource IDs needed when setting up plug-ins. This new version fixes several bugs and improves cargo type selection in the mission editor.

      MissionComputer, first released on 22 December 2001 after several months of development and testing, is available both in a Carbon version designed for Apple's Mac OS X and in a Classic version for Mac OS 9 and below. Version 1.3.1 supports both the Escape Velocity 1.0.5 and EV Override 1.0.2 file formats. I have not yet decided whether future versions of MissionComputer or other similar utilities will support Ambrosia Software's upcoming new game EV Nova.

      Like all previous versions, MissionComputer 1.3.1 is available for free from my web site at (url="http://"http://davidarthur.evula.net/")davidarthur.evula.net(/url).

      Cool! Been waiting for an update to that program; it helped me a ton in another one of my plugs.

      I have a question though; can MissionComputer work for classic EV as well?
