Ok. heres a little update on my upcoming plug. I have finished, after a night of fighting with EV, a brand new ship; the Atlas-class superfreighter. It is the largest ship i have ever seen. I actually had to keep decreasing its size in EV to allow the game to work with it! It crashed the first 6 times because i made the ship too big! (btw, maximum sprite size is 176x176 on a 6x6 grid...!! check it out. It is comin along... I will need planet graphics, most likely, so please send me some y'all! I will grant appropriate acknowledgements (did i spell that right? i cant spel anything rite... )

Wow, that must be one huge ship! I'm curious as to how large ships can be in Nova...

Anyhow, the plugin sounds like its coming along well. Do you think you could post a link to the sprite? I always like a preview or two...

Heh. Yeah, you spelled it right.

Very cool ship.

Would it be possible for you to make a progress log on your site? That way we could all be informed about updates and you don't have to post something new everytime you finish something else.

Yes. progress logs are always very helpful. I noticed that many people liked the website for the "Dreden War" because of that feature...

And here I was thinking it was to see my name :frown:. I'm shocked and depressed (j/k :)). Yeah, progress logs are really great things to have. It's also a good habit to write down what you've done, helpful later in life (I hear, I'm only entering high school next year, long way away from adulthood).

Yes, progress logs and journals have a lot in common. Only a progress log in my case usually relates to a plugin for Escape Velocity or Override...

I might be able to make you a few planet graphics for you in the future. I have LunarCell for Photoshop, so it takes no time at all...

Cool..... ide love to be able to make some by myself... i CAN, i just think that of all things in EV planet graphics are the least important...So i want to focus on important stuff. As soon as i finish all ships i will immediately begin making the map, followed by intro, then missions, then planet graphics...... but yeah, can ya make me some and tell me where to get that plugin for photoshop?

I'll try to get you some planet graphics soon, but I can't gurantee it (I'm working on a total conversion with the Corsair Developers). As for the LunarCell plugin, it costs thirty dollars, but you can use the trial version for up to thirty days. You can find the information for the plugin here: (url="http://"http://www.flamingpear.com/download.html")http://www.flamingpe...m/download.html(/url). Best of luck!

Miscommunication. I meant general programming/real job usefulness. I can not do a journal.
