    • Entarus, how's (url="http://"http://www.evula.org/godsunderstudy/invasion.gif")this(/url)? Just thought I'd help 😉

      ------------------
      Upcoming website, for the(url="http://"http://www.evula.org/godsunderstudy") New Era (/url) TC.
      Look out for the New Era!

    • I might as well own up. I was inspired by a classic strip from User Friendly (http://ars.userfrien...08&mode=classic) to recast the big fight so central to most EV scenarios as a conflict of Mac vs PC. All in good humor, of course, with as much computer arcana as I could cram in. (The User Friendly story starts with (http://ars.userfrien...ns/?id=19981127).

      Dispite a detailed design document I went sideways almost at once, and have since been trying to shape a TC where building a commercial empire with allies, colonies, and your own fleets takes precedence over the usual combat. This has proven "interesting" to do with EVO, but I'm not ready to take the leap into EVN....if nothing else, I'd have to ratchet all my graphics up yet again.

      At this point I have little hope of ever reaching Alpha Build, but I still work on it off and on.

      And, this may not be the place to mention it, but after doing fighter voices for one chap and a new orchestral title track for another, I am ready and willing to look at new sound/music projects for other plug-in designers.

      Project 1:
      Pilot Converter 2.0
      (url="http://"http://phair.csh.rit.edu/~seant/EV/PilotConvert/")http://phair.csh.rit...V/PilotConvert/(/url)
      This is actually a finished project I've been sitting on for almost a year, now. It is an application that takes pilot files from EV and EVO and converts them to files the EVN engine can read and use. Why? Well, PC2 is a solution searching for a problem. I'd hoped that ports of EV and EVO would come out soon, but no such luck.
      See (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/webboard/Forum9/HTML/002586.html")http://www.ambrosias...TML/002586.html(/url) for my plug for the app. back in March of this year.

      Project 2:
      Spreadsheet templates that facilitate porting EV to EVN
      Because I really want a ports of EV and EVO, and am tried of waiting, I've started making spreadsheets that automagically move resource data around to the correct places for EVN, and fills in data as needed. I may abandon this approach in favor of making an application, since PortAuthority hasn't appeared yet (as far as I know).

      Project 3:
      This one doesn't have a name, but has been on my mind for years. I'm interested making a multi part plug in that chronicles Man's expansion to the stars. It uses the basic EV universe with a modified EVO universe overlaid in places (did you ever take a good look at the EV and EVO universes and see just how similar the syst layout is?). Includes some ideas on generating plugins based on pilot data

      Project 4:
      Shared Universe
      My previous work on perMaker (http://phair.csh.rit...t/EV/persMaker/) made me realize one could set up a server to which different players upload their pilot data on a regular basis. This data could then be accesses by other players to populate their game with 'real people'. It wouldn't be EVMP, but it would be interesting.

      Project 5:
      DeNovo
      Despite what the name says, the project began before I'd heard there was going to be an EV3. It's an application that automatically generates a universe (systs, spobs, astroids, interference, etc) based on basic data provided by the user. I had an appleScript that did the job, but was unhappy with the speed. The project has gotten bogged down as I've been playing with the idea of allowing for autogeneration of races (and that leads down a whole bunch of biological modeling that distracted me).

      Of all these, only 1 and 2 are things I'm actively working on (when I'm not studying). I'd be very happy if I could stop work on project 2, as the project doesn't interest me; I just want the final results. 🙂

    • I'm working on two Star Trek TC's, Frontiers, with Entarus and Jager, and another based on the years before, during, and slightly after the Cardassian War, called, as of right now anyway, My Plug. My current idea is "Incursion" If anyone has a better idea, I'll be willing to hear it.

      ------------------
      Human logic, though beguilingly simple, is seldom complete.

    • Although I've been lured by other stuff and haven't worked on my TC lately, I'm still making a Nova prelude that covers the Vell-os Wars. It'll have almost completely new ships and storylines, of course, lots of new Vell-os technolegy, and a map that is pretty much the same as Nova's, at least in the central systems. I've encountered a hitch in that I'm going to have to teach myself to model ships and landscapes, but I have the programs.

    • Weepul- Yeah, I was gonna make that last version public, and still plan to. I am trying to figure out how to use this virtual server space that I bought, upon which I will post it there for free downloads. The place I'm hosting my gallery images at has transfer limitations that'd allow maybe two people a month to get the thing...I'd need somebody to host it for me. EVula...?

      Email me and I'll send you the address for the application form ((url="http://"http://www.evula.org/")evula.org(/url) is technically "closed" right now, but I'll make an exception). For everyone who is curious, I hope to have (url="http://"http://www.evula.org/")evula.org(/url) open again by the end of the year.

    • Well this is a project that I have been trying to get off the ground. Some people agreed to help but nothin came of it ohwell here it goes.

      The Ancients a race so old that they have watched the birth and death of stars the creation of entire solar systems... Now they have created a device that can create alternate dimensions on a whim. They have created countless others watching them begin and fall most of them were never able to colonize new worlds. Through war and famine they all failed now they have designed four new races that are almost exact replicas of their own race. A race they call the Terrans an exact replica of what they were when they were only five million years old. The next the Josa a race that uses psionic powers to control everything they see and touch. The Azrax a race that is entirely dependant on building up other races but are the a foe not to be taken lightly in war. Finally the Nemesis a balance between all of the other races never extremely powerful in one point but incredibly well balanced. But they left a power that would keep these races in check so they wouldnÂ’t become so powerful that they could destroy their creators. The Guardians a species that could have never been created through evolution. They are the ultimate warriors better then robots because they can think for themselves and can feel no pain. There ships are entirely organic they sometimes are to be said to be the ships but no one knows for sure. Now it is your time captain to decide what dimension you want to be with and which side you will be on it is all up to you.

      Also im working on Nova Expansion Project if that didnt turn vaporware. Then there is momentum. If anyone wants to help on the Ancients project say somthing becuase its going really slow all by myself.

    • FOTVE - Expansion for EVO siding in favor of the UE. When it's done, I will make a disclaimer saying that it's not a copycat of ROTUE so UE Patriot won't try to sue me and stuff. So far it has been a massive project for me. Expansions for the UE may have been done so many times, but I am only capable of doing certain stuff. Besides, doing anything this big for Nova is out of my hands.

      EVOSI - TC interface graphics throughout EVO, you'll soon see it eventually.

      SoundsGalore - Not really a biggie, just replacing soundfx in EVO.

    • I am currently working on a TC it doesn't have a name yet (i find that (other than missions) is the hardest bit to do). I have 6 governments (with a basic idea of their goals and motives, 36 ships (with new graphics), 24 outfits (some with new graphics) and weapons and I am working on the systems. I am doing it alone at the moment but anyone who cares to join in the fun of plugin developing (mission writers and anyone who can make good spob picts) is welcome and can contact me at starbridge42@hotmail.com

      it should be released some time next February if it is done just by me.
