i was just wondering... how do you create and insert graphics onto ev edit 3.2, so you can make your own ships, i mean if you just edit other ships, it kind of throws of the military balances that have been set up by the games creator... right?

Yes, if you're creating a plug that only modifies existing ships and nothing else, that is the case -- balances will be thrown off.

Now I haven't used EV-Edit in ages, but I believe if you have graphics in PICT format on your hard drive (in the same style -- 6x6 tiles, each tile preferably a square with size a multiple of 8 pixels, having both a sprite and a mask), you can import them.

If you have further questions, or you don't understand, I might have to go and grab EV-Edit again and investigate. I actually prefer editing resources directly in ResEdit -- in that case you would just copy your sprites into your file and make a spďn resource that corresponds to your shďp resource.
