      Could anyone tell me which tutorial (for making plug-ins) is easiest to understand and applicable to EVNEW?

      I have not seen any worth-while plugin tutorials, i am afraid.
      What's more, documents written for novatools will not be totally accurate with EVNEW, cause (for example) novatools doesnt convert all index numbers to RID's while novatools does (for example, the ammotype on EVNEW and in the datafile itself for the hail chaingun would read as 27, while novatools would display it as 155).

      The best reference is the Nova Bible, and the nova datafiles themselves.
      For making a plugin when you are starting out, copy and paste something similar from the nova data files into a new plugin, and change its ID to one not used in the default scenario. Then using the Bible to guide you, change the attributes of the resource in question. Outfits are a good thing to start with, as they are pretty simple.

      Also look at what I said here: (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/webboard/Forum9/HTML/004816.html")http://www.ambrosias...TML/004816.html(/url)

      I remember (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/cgi-bin/vftp/show.pl?product=evn&category;=guides&display;=name&file;=TutorialsInS.sea.hqx")TutorialinS(/url) being pretty decent, though it's only for spins and shans and s related stuff. There were also a few decent one from (url="http://"http://www.oxy-web.com/evnep/tutorials.html")http://www.oxy-web.c.../tutorials.html(/url) That should give you some good ground work to start from. There each for NovaTools but you can still apply the concepts if you read through them carefully. Everything else the bible can answer and if you still have questions, that's what we're here for.
