Ralph and Roger of (url="http://"http://www.sutherland-studios.com.au/family/evo_software.html")R&R; Software(/url) are hard at work on the EV Nova editors. I've managed to sneak two screenshots from some of the tools they are working on.

These are ResEdit add-ons that allow you to edit some of the resources in the EV Nova data files using a new GUI instead of editing hex codes in ResEdit template fields.

Thank the Aussies for checkbox arrays; no more hex math! |
A yes, the cron resource -- timed events in the EV Nova universe...

Of course, they are working on updates of many other tools, including MissionControl and ShipWrite... hopefully I'll be able to slink away with some screenshots from them soon, too!

In case you hadn't already guessed, ATMOS is currently using these to make Nova: our workload has dropped quite substancially.

all the best,

Wow! Does this mean Ralph and Rodger are part of ATMOS?

Heh someone should make a company called PHERE (You know ATMOS PHERE? atmosphere? Get it?)

I think everyone will agree that has to be ph34r
And no, R&R; are not part of ATMOS or Ambrosia, but they have access to some pre-beta material to aid them in the development of their tools. And no, they won't even give you a hint if you ask reeeaaal nice.

Thanks,

I'm on holiday from tomorrow afternoon, so I can really concentrate on the new EVN ShipWrite and Mission Control (and Weapon Smith). I've also still got feedback on the EVO editors and they won't be forgotten. Look for some more of the EVO ResEdit style plugin editors in the new year - they are turing out to be a great solution for the simpler resources where a full-blown application is not really justified.

Cheers
Ralph

"EVN? What's that?"

I think you should get together with Pontus and build Shipwrite, Mission Control and Dev Map into one big programme. Call it EV Suite or something like that...

Sweeeeet!

Nova has got to be the all time fantasy of any person who has played EV and said:
"Oh, I wish I could..."

Does anyone know the approx. size the eventual package will be (in Megs, that is).
Because I'll probably end up downloading it if I don't get off my arse and get a MacAdd**t Mag.

They've listed all the Ambrosia software in their CD's and they introduced me to the great EV, so I guess they'll probably have Nova on their lists.

ps. MajorDomo, i heard an estimate of 40 megs flying around the boards somewhere, but this is NOT an official ambrosia estimate so take it with a truckload of salt...

Can't wait to get it... I think that says all I want to.

Yeah, that's how I found out about EV too.

These editors are Ambrosia-approved programs (i.e. unlike EV-Edit), right? That would be much much better than something being done indepently.

Ambrosia's uning them to make Nova! They're great!

I also got EVO on Macaddict CD. Then I downloaded EV and played it too. Ambrosia's great.

Hail EV Suite!
