    • unintentionally colored ships...


      I've tried out a few nova plug-ins before. Regardless as to what they do. They make about 25-50% of the ships in the game (on my comp) turn green... I have no idea why it does this seeing as how the last one I tried had absolutely nothing to do with the alteration of any ships. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm using version 1.0.6 running Mac OS 10.2.6

    • I must say... that's certainly a new one. Never heard of that bug or anything like it before.

      Go get your knife.

    • Green!? That's an original one... all I can think for you to do is to check them, and see if they have ship resources, or to check that stuffit isn't playing tricks when you download the plugs. Apparently it can do some bad things to a plug if you're using 7.0... I dunno, someone can explain it better, I'm not sure.

      7.0 messes w/ it? well, i hope that's the case then. fortunately, i never got rid of my 6.5 deluxe version, so i can use that and see if that works ^_^ . i'll post a reply w/ the end result whichever way it ends up being ^^

      All that 7.0 does is that it gets rid of the creator and type codes so nova won't recognize it as a plug-in when it loads them. Easy enough to fix with ResEdit or any of the free utilities...

      But ships turning green is weird... Did you have any of the plugs with the paint outfits installed? That could be causing the problem.

      nope. i tried putting in the sigma station plugin alone and it caused ships to turn green. not all of them, mind you. and it wasn't just certain types of ships. it was completetly random. cause, for example, there could be a green shuttle and a normal shuttle on at the same time. and it's not just green. it's like a pixelated green. it like a green mask was put on the entire thing so the different colors are just another shade of green. it was very annoying >.<

    • Hmm, make sure that the plug-in isn't messing up the Transparency mask. Open it up in ResEdit and look for anything suspicious.

    • would it be possable to see 2 diffrent pics of 2 diffrent ships that are turned green?

    • I'm betting whatever plugin he was using was intended for an older version of Nova and includes one or more paint outfits that now replace an outfit that the green ships have, which is turning them green. Very simple. 😄

      everywhere a slice slice.

    • I have an idea ^^

      Someone tell me a plug-in that works for them in 1.0.6. I'll download that plug-in and then we can see if it turns ships green or not ^^
