    • Why is there no Ultimate Cheater plug? - EVN


      I remember in EVC and EVO there were "ultimate cheater plugs" which did (almost) of the below

      (list=1)
      () make everything cost 0cr
      (
      ) make everything have a mass of 0 and be able to have an (almost) unlimited amount of them
      () make all ships be able to have 9999 guns and 9999 turrets
      (
      ) make all hidden/varient ships available anywhere
      () have at least 1 ultimate weapon -Über Damage-
      (
      ) as a bonus be able to conquer a planet by kicking 1 shuttlecraft(etc)

      I know a lot of these are in plug-ins already, however it would be nice to have them in one neat package as im sure the ones out would clash. Also they are a hassle to drag them all in the folder for 10 minutes of fun.

      o and i have my reasons for wanting an Über cheat πŸ˜‰

      Hi, and im Mr. Emulater come on work those processors.

    • Maybe 'cause people prefer making balanced plugins than cheats.

      And why don't you make one yourself? πŸ˜‰

    • .... but wheres the fun in that?

    • Cheat plugs are so easy to cook up, if you don't mind not making decs or origional graphics. In fact, I think it's a good way to learn the basics of plug making.

      Summary: if ya want it, do it. πŸ™‚ Have fun!

    • Nova actually has 241 outfits, Matrix πŸ˜‰

      But anyway, that would take awhile. And seriously, after all that is done, it would be boring after much less than 10 minutes. There are lots of ways already to nuke a shuttlecraft without an uber weapon.

    • oi matrix no need to rip my head off....

      cheers and thanks

    • it does not take as long as you would think. i trtieed it myself(just for the challange), and it only takes about 14 hours(spread out of course). but i will not post the cheat, seeing how i play useing v1.0.3 and like it very much. i think its kinda fun to be able to hail small fed ships and make them your escourts to do what you want in that system, only if your playing feds of course. πŸ™‚

    • i mean, i got off the internet, opened up res edit, made every things availably(every things, ships(froms small shuttles on Mu'hari, to Krypt, Wriath, and hyperiods on Earth). Made all the outfits available(from light cannon, to the bombs that blow you up in mid flight). Every thing. every thigns is 0 cr, all outfits take up a mass of 0, and you can get up to 10 of anyone launcher, and 10000 of any projectile.

      Everything is available for any type of ship(including Vell-os(also available)).

      Every planet can be dominated with the push of a "Demand Tribute" Button with out a single battle.

      and a few others, i think. i did this about 2 weeks ago though.
      i like to time who long it takes to make plug-ins for me.

      Edit: respelled "of" to "off" in fisrt sentance.

    • ok

      ------------------
      anyone every wonder, "where is KarTaniK getting these cool Smilies?" and though, "Gee, he's so handsome and talented, and such a hunk." well, Now you to can be awed. visit (url="http://"http://www.mysmilies.com")www.mysmilies.com(/url) to recive all you smilie needs.

    • shoot, i forgot to say this way earlier.

      9999 is small

      use 32073 in the spaces you want.

      ALSO, 32000 is the most weapon and cargo space you can hold.

    • Actually, the highest number allowed in all 3 versions of EV is 32,767. (The exception are the things that were forced to lower numbers like number of planets in a system etc.)

      This is a common "maximum" in older games, be careful however because going over the maximum results in a negative number.

      Usually if the max is 32,767 and you get yourself 32,768, you'll end up with -1 or -32,766

      I usually set the maximums of things to 32,000 or if I know it'll increases by more than 750, I'll usually put in 30,000.

      NOTE: If you give a ship 32,767 shield strength and then purchase a shield enhancing outfit... Your ship will have no shields whatsoever. This effect is the same for fuel, armor and other such variables... Not sure what a negative damage rating does, might give you a healing weapon hehe.

      ------------------
      Life is a waste of time and time is a waste of life... So get wasted all of the time and have the time of your life!

    • i think you might be right about the healing weapon thing. thats pretty awsome. it certainly would be a unique thing to do for a plug-in.

      put in on the smallest explosion width, make it so the device explodes the exact peca second that its launched from the tube so it hits you and only you, then make a the biggist negative number for damage.

      feel free to take this idea(if it even works). i don't really intend to make more plugs.

    • In EVC and EVO, negative damage does not work. I strongly suspect it doesn't work in EVN either, but I don't know for sure. That would be cool if it did though; I've wanted to use fuel to regenerate sheilds for years.
