is here at last
My new version of the Nova port of EV Override is now available at the Nova addons pages. If you've downloaded this before I think I made some minor last-minute corrections before submitting it so you may want to download it again.
So, uh, do the regulars of this board actually use the Nova port or should I be posting this on the Nova board?

Personally, I think there should be more port-based plugins--it eliminates the whole "Nova's graphics are too good" factor, and allows potential development (as in Nova, basically every major string is forever resolved, mostly leaving only minor missions available for development).

I just started to. Graphics are a little too old for me, but I'm liking it more and more.

Well this brings me to my first point: I have on my site (see sig) a plug-in called Facelift which I would like people to check out and give comments and criticism and stuff on before I release it (note this isn't really my plug I've just cleaned it up, added more features and packaged it together nicely).

I've experimented with it a tad...
...my only problem with it is just that everything is so slow. This is more based off of personal experience than anything else--when I played EVO, it was generally on a machine speedy enough to support it well, so the current speed seems snail-paced in comparison. I'll probably make a speed-doubler plugin to take care of that.

In the Nova beta, I suggested that they keep the global speed slider like in EV and EVO. I was shot down, since the purpose of the slider was for slower machines. I really wish I'd fought that battle harder.
I'd personally love to see some more plugs (maybe updated graphics!!) for EVN Override. I'd love to see ROTUE in Nova, and just to say this, I can never seem to get that one UE cruiser mission.

Yeah that would be nice but only if it worked perfectly (it doesn't in EV/O).

I do not use it. But I might. Eventually. Just to try it out. That is, after I've played all the EV and EVO plugs on my list.

Which mission?

Unless the FTP server is hosted by a different company, the speed won't change.

whoopee... it's only gonna take around six hours....
You are on dialup? I am, and it takes forever to DL anything. Recently a friend sent me a 10MB file via iChat. It was practically instantaneous. Something to think about.

Cable. I don't know what's up....
Sorry about that guys, it's hosted on a friends' server and I wasn't aware of any download issues (since I only upload which is slow anyway). If you want a preview though I think I posted a shot of it somewhere once. I'll see if I can find it...
Ah, here it is. As you can see the ship models are all the same original ones just they're now bigger, 3D, 16-bit and have some additional layers (engines, lights etc). It's slightly out of date now though - since then I've fixed the Zidara sprite (it's a little jaggedy in the shot) and added new station sprites (a little bigger and 16-bit).

nice... and its only (According to Safari) taking 3 hours.
It took me like 4 days to torrent stuff.
and 5 hours for AA, which is, sadly, cancelled.
