    • Need help in starting to make plug-in (I emulated mac)


      Okay, so far I put ResEdit on it and copied all the resource files from the EVN data folder to a mac drive and now it's on there. Is there any more I have to do or can I start?

      (edit)Also it always asks if I should open a file even though it has no resource fork. What does that mean?(edit)

      You can start now. But i suggest you to download Novatool, it's a very usefull plugin for ResEdit. And if ResEdit confuse you, you can work with Mission Computer or EVONE, too.

      The Mac files and programs can be divided into two parts (dunno for the PCs): the resource fork (opened by ResEdit), and the Data fork.
      If the resource fork don't exist, then ResEdit ask if you want to add one. That's all 🙂

    • Sounds like you copied the PC data files into the emulator. That won't work, you need to edit the Mac data files and then run them through the EVN:W plug convertor.

      Unfortunatley, I dont think it works like that. You 'can' create plugins just with resedit and novatools without any of the Nova files at all. This only works in theory however. In practice, you will constantly need to refrence the Nova data files through resedit for variouis reasons, which unfortunatley, need to be the mac data files, since these contain the resource forks.

      Hope that helps, and good luck.

    • A few questions now:

      What do I need to open the Nova bible? Acrobat reader?
      How would I add the TMPL files, that I have already downloaded, to my plug-in?

      I need to install stuffit but the stuffit install file is stuffed. How would I un-stuff it if the stuffit installer is stuffed?

      You need to get Stuffit from Aladdin Software (I dont know the website, Use google). I dont know if its free because i got it with my mac. So your on your own from there.

      I did, but the problem is when I downloaded it it was a stuffed file.

    • Okay, I made a plug-in! Thank you everyone who helped me!

      The plug-in allows you the buy the Vell-OS ships as if you had beaten the story line. I did this since I reset my pilot so I could do another and I wanted those ships only. I need to figure out how to get the fighter darts back, though.
