    • Any plugs that are into the alpha or beta stages yet?


      If so, post about 'em! I'm eager to see what others are doing with the engine, and what I can look forward to wasting my time on in the coming months 🙂

    • Rift should be in Alpha one in a month or so, just to test universe 1 ships and outfits.

    • My "Freighter->Capital Ship Refits" plug has been in beta for a week or so now. Apparently nobody's bothered to see how it plays, though, because I've gotten no e-mails regarding problems. 😛

      It's at (url="http://"http://homepage.mac.com/mrlothario/")http://homepage.mac.com/mrlothario/(/url) if anyone DOES feel like kicking the tires. 😉

    • I'm still working on a mission plot for a plug-in that will be as big since ROTUE. Meanwhile I do other small plug-ins to take a break like the Kamikaze Drone I just recently submitted.

      tell me what you think.

    • It's really too early for a TC type plug-in to be in beta already.
      And i shure am not going to rush and skip anything.

      Heh, i'm just barely starting with the story of mine.

    • Yeah, I'm in the early stages of my plug. Things are going pretty well so far. Right now I'm focusing on the story and when that's done, then I will do graphics and all that jazz. So far so good, though.

    • What's Alpha? Anyway, I'm working on adding a gov. to Nova. So far it is not far enough along to be tested. It's my first time using Res Edit, but I found some tutorials, and I think I've got it. Except for missions! How do I make the dialog in those? Y'know, where they ask you to do it? Help me!

      Here's a fair definition.

      In most every game ever marketed, there is a stage where it needs to be tested in a controlled environment by a small group of people to work out any kinks in the system. While the designers can catch all the obvious bugs, it takes time and several new perspectives to find not-so-obvious bugs. This first stage of testing is often referred to as "alpha testing"...Essentially, alpha-testing is playing the whole game with many of the finer details missing, to be added in as the main segments test out successfully.

      Nice pic! What's the plugin called, and when can we expect some kind of release?

      Currently I'm working with a team of people on a project called The Second Nent, but there's nothing to really test yet.

    • My plug, The Icecream Brigade, will be entering alpha testing soon, in about a week or so. Be warned: It doesn't add any new in-game graphics, unlike this (very nice) pic above. It also requires the player to have a good sence of humor.

    • The plugin is called Polycon and I would estimate it is about 50 % done. Unfourtaately it is too far from being in a playable state at this point (or I should say a "fun" playable state) for me to even guess at when the release date would be.

      ------------------

    • Working on a new alternative Vell-os storyline to also add something for the females in the game. Hopefully adding two new ships, and a new government as well. Plus my share of ATMOS-esque flying joke ships. 🙂

    • Hmm, Blue Shift is a TC im slow with the graphics so maybe a year or so until beta. Any experiecned graphics help is quite welcome, email me davidwms@mac.com
