    • Way to list mission bits?


      Is there a way I could generate some kind of listing of missions and the bits set in Nova? I use to use Plug Checker in EV ad EVO to print out a list. Thanks in advance.

      Okay, I'll answer my own question. There's now a file called Bits Bible on the Nova add-ons page. It's a good job and an excellent start. Now if someone just adds a field that lists the title of the mission after each bit, we'd be in good shape.
      Here's another question though. Is there any way to generate or get a list of the spobs and their index numbers? I mean, there has to be, right. You developers aren't memorizing all this stuff,, are you?
      Thanks. (Maybe I'll be able to answer this one too eventually.)

    • I believe Dr Ralph linked to a tool known as "Nova Bitmap" on the Developer's Board- with stern warnings that it was not for the faint of heart. You might try a search of the webboards.

    • I'm working on something that might help you out. A prerelease version of EVN Mission Viewer is available on (url="http://"http://homepage.mac.com/jchaffer/")my iTools page(/url). It doesn't fully support what you're asking for as of yet, but you can easily search for any mission bit and see what missions reference it and how. Please let me know what else you'd like to see me add. BTW, it's Mac OS X only.
