    • Writer without the skills


      I have an idea for a plug, a sort of complement to EVN, but I don't ahve the skills to make it myself. Or the time for that matter. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't take much, actually, but here's a touch on the idea.

      It's an idea of a plug that incorporates the ascension beyond the veil into a playable aspect of the game. I was thinking that if some systesm that were connected to each other, but not to the rest of the galaxy was created, with a single warp point to reach the seperated area, the effect would be created. A serious of clues hidden in quests could be attained, revealing the gate to beyond the veil. If you've been keepin up with (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/webboard/Forum26/HTML/017348-11.html")this(/url), it talks about some ideas which have been proven true, including the use of Kontik.

      If you're interested in giving me a hand, contact me at my e-mail address or this topic. Thanks for helpin' out an unskilled dude like me...

    • Drew, your idea sounds really interesting, well beyond the run-of-the-mill 'will somebody make me a plugin that makes all the ships 1 credit' that we get on this board.

      I know you're asking for help, but can I urge you to have a go yourself? Starting to make plugins is not that difficult, although taking them through to their conclusion is less straightforward.

      Because your plugin is mainly mission-oriented, you should be able to write it without major investment in making graphics. Once you've got the mission stuff sorted out, I'm sure there'll be a lot of people on these boards who will help you out with any graphics. If they don't, drop me an email at martin.turner@unforgettable.com. I'll help you out with the finishing touches if no-one else will.

      Regards

      Martin

    • I guess I'll give it a shot. Time is such an issue, but I guess A couple weekends and I can be finished with it. Do you know where I can find a good Windows plug writer? I don't have any clue of where to start. Never even tried, if you'd believe it. Thanks for the advice and the offer, by the way.

      I could help...Im not that great with graphics but i could help with the story line. Which would just be a lot about the ideas of the ppl from the speculation thread with a few improvments, and keep u updated to make sure you would agree. And i could give u basic ship ideas(Sketches) and someone better with graphics could improve them to fit the game standards. My e-mail is wc3freak2002@yahoo.com if you need to tell me anything.

    • I'd love to see any sketches you've come up with. I'm investigating plug editors/creators right now. My e-mail is available, but in case you're too lazy to go to the button ( :p) it's (url="http://"http://fchsjv4@earthlink.net")fchsjv4@earthlink.net(/url) . Thanks for the input/offered help. You'll hear from me when I know what's going on and fire up Nova again.

    • There is only one plug-in editor for Windows, EVNEW. See sig for link ("Make one yourself.").

    • I just sent two of them to you. Remember there only basic ideas....So you will have to do most of the graphics.
