A pre-release version of the EV Nova Bible has been made available; this is NOT a final draft; information contained in it may (and likely will) change.

It is being made available to plug-in developers soley for informational purposes, to allow you to get up to speed on what EV Nova will have to offer in terms of engine features. Please do not ask Ambrosia or the EV Nova development team questions about this document or EV Nova; we're still busy working on the game.

Whoa. Thank God for the R&R; Editors. Without them, it would probably take an hour to finish 1 resource.

Yup. Only masochists will want to inflict the mind-numbing tedium of creating resources via the resedit templates. Especially when the R&R; editors make everything so much easier and much quicker...

Oh, right. My mind was a little blank (only thinking about the cool new resources) when I posted that. In that case, keep up the excellent work, your Burchness!

There were some misspelled words, wrong values, and omissions, so I replaced what was there with a slightly changed version this afternoon.

Simply amazing, it'll be the most interactive single-player game available. 'Course it makes Nemesis (my tc which is between alpha and beta) look sick and lame, but I'm not complaining, great work Matt.

It looks totally awesome. I mean AWEsome. This in going to make the lives over every plug maker a living heaven. EVN is going to rock!

Forgive me for sounding like a total idiot, but where do you get the R&R; resources (and here I was, about to make a big plug-in (>50 missions) without even knowing)

They haven't been released to the public, I'm assuming (though you may want to check with a EVN team member) that they will be released along with EVN.

YESSS!!!!!!

Alright! Didja see all those resources!? That will be so cool...

And, I'm 100% certain that they're going to be introducing the R&R; editors w/ Nova. I mean, it would be good if they did it earlier, but this makes the most sense...

There's still a spelling mistake, you've put flays instaead of flags in one section, but I think that's all. Too bad anyway, you should be getting EVN working, not worrying about us

I'll be cool when out evil grin

Supposing I made a set of templates using the information in the Bible, would I be allowed to distribute them?

Regardless of Andrew's answer, my thought would be this: why?

It might be marginally helpful in starting plugin design, but if anyone is serious about a plugin they are better off spending time going over the bible with a fine-tooth comb and figuring out what sort of scenario would best use as many of those features as possible. Take down notes on all of the cool things you want to do with the new engine, and start looking at the overall plot and design of the universe. Then, when EVN is released and the R&R; Nova editing suite comes out, the plugin will very nearly make itself.

I believe Anatole from #ev3 has already done that. Or he will, once he finds the 4 letter code for 32 bit flags.
