Unfortunatly I am really bad at making plug-ins and graphics and things but I just thought someone might like to use this idea and build on it. It is kinda of a Matrix plug. Most people have seen The Matrix so i wont go into too much detail but here's my idea. Morpheus picks you up on Earth after you complete the normal UE missions and says something like "'Take the red pill and you wake up tommarow like nothing happened. Tkae the blue pill and see just how deep the rabbit hole goes' Yes is blue, no is red"(Watch the movie for the exact wording). Any way, if you accept something happens(Again, watch movie if you want acuracy) and the universe and ships all change and you are fighting the Sentinel Squid things and the AI computer designed ships. You get an awsome ship and stuff and have to go back into The Matrix (Origeonal EVO world) and beat up on bad dudes with your supper ship and rescue Morpheus or wherever you want to go with it. Man, I wish i knew how to write plug ins. This would be fun.

"Do not try to bend the spoon, that is impossible. Simply try to realize the truth." "What is that?" "There is no spoon" "There is no spoon..." Eirrrrnnn

This does sound like it would be a pretty neat game! I would definatelky help...if I could make plugs! At the very least, we DO know that it's possible, thanks to the great engine in EV and EV:O! I wish you the best of luck! If I were you, I would try to write out some basic outline of a plot and the non-"Matrix Universe" layout. Also, if you can draw (on paper), try sketching some pictures of what the ships could look like and try to get them on the web. Again, good luck!

What is a good program for making ship graphics? I need something to draw them with bwcause they're gonna be really nice(I hope). Anyone can feel free to post ideas for me too use or some cool ship sprites. I guess i will take a shot at it myself but I wont do it full justice because this will be my first plug in ever. Anyway, if people post graphics I'll plobably use them and any ideas will be apreciated.

that's a good idea, I suggest you reading the EVO Bible and visiting the Dev Board to get some help trying to develop the plug (if you're thinking on doing it by yourself)

youll need:

resedit 2.1.3(Apple)
mission control 1.0b6(R&R;)
shipwrite 1.17(R&R;)
EVO Developer's Map 1.16v2(Pontus)
Plug Checker 1.5(DYNA)

These probably can be downloaded on addons page:utilities

As far as graphics, i dont know.

I probably should put some witty remark here. But I won't.

I suggest you starting with EVO graphics and when you're sure you can do the plug, search and ask for graphics

Great idea cheese! You might want to add more then the squid ships to the 'real world'..

I know! What about that odd robot that grabbed him after he 'woke up'?? The one with the glossy eye, it grabbed him and all the tubes popped out of him...

Very funny, now beam down my clothes. These ladies look rest-less..... uh-oh...
Alien's famous tongue...
"Vionions?? Voinioniommoins?? Viks? Veggies? Vegetables? Oh wait, that's a hewman plant...
SEARCH..... THEN...... ASK!!!!

I'll do my best on it, but I'm afraid my skill doesn't match my imagination. Hopefully I can get some help with it and make it really cool but if i don't it will probably take a while before I put it up for downloading. I got a really nice graphics program from my uncle so I'll try to use that for my ships, planets and other stuff. Keep in mind this is my first ever plugun attempt. Thanks for all the help, ideas and stuff are appreciated alot.

I'm transferring this string to the EV Developer's forum. Look for it there.

You got the pills mixed up. The red one is the trace program pill and the blue one is the dummy pill.

I personally think that flying Morpheus's ship would be cool.

I am having some trouble using RES Edit. I made some ships with Shipwrite and I had a lot of fun with that, but I don't know how I'm going to do the missions and systems and stuff. Any help or hints or ANYTHING would be great. This is harder than I expected. And what are fields in RES edit? I know thats probably a really basic question but I don't know which one is supposed to be possition, how to put in a space object or all that stuff.

Two words: Mission Control. This is a handy program from the the same people who brought you shipwrite. It's a mission editor that works in much the same way.

ResEdit isn't really that hard to learn. Try downloading the EVO Bible Anotated edition from the override addons page. It's a big help. I am still learning resedit myself, and I was surprised how easy it really is. The hardest part is connecting al the recource ID #'s. Try downloading a few plugs and looking at them in ResEdit. You'll eventually see what is associated with what, especially if you double check in the bible. With a little patience, and determination, you'll get it.

I found all the programs you said to get and am making my first missions and stuff now! RES Edit is still difficult but I'm sort of getting the hang of it.

nice, I wish you good luck on the plug and Captian LeGrenadier is right, the hardest part is associating IDs.

For that, an obscure program by Pontus called EVO Formula Calc is very, very helpful. I love it!

As for graphics, go to Meowx's Ship yard at (url="http://"http://www.meowx.com")www.meowx.com(/url). They have 4 sets of free ship graphics, all of which are 3/4ths views and really cool. Each set consists of 11 ships- that's 44 ships total! :eek: If those designs don't satisfy you, you can custom order ships- you'll have to pay money, but it's worth it (I'm using a Meowx design in my plugin! ) Personally, I think that the Hook Dreadnaught would make an excellent "ultimate bad guy ship!" Just my opinion.

God bless,
