Hey, guys . My computer is a Mac Os 9.2.2., i guess. I don`t understand a lot about doing plugs, but i want to do a plug that the Vell-os have restaured their homeworld and we can go there, land, go to the bar, check the outfitters... Thank you !

This would be better posted on the EV Developer's Corner forum. That is where all topics related to developing plug-ins belong.
I'll just move it over there.

That's a pretty simple plug to do I think.
You can either edit the Nova Data files (keep a safe copy) or make a plug in.
Open Nova Data 2 with your Plug in maker. Find the vellos homeworld system in the syst resources, and copy it (ctrl + c). Then start a new plug, and paste the resource into it.
Now find the vellos homeworld stellar in the spob resources, copy it, and paste it into your new plug.
Open the stellar, and select the options for the stellar to have an outfitter, shipyard, trading, bar and mission computer, and select the technology level. A level of 1 will have hardly anything (a shuttle and a gun for example) but a tech level of 9999 should give you pretty much all the outfits and ships in the game.
Lastly, you can change the descriptions, by checking the desc no. of the planet and bar in the spob resource. Then make new descriptions in the desc resources, making sure you keep the resource numbers the same.

Be careful when giving keyboard shortcuts to avoid giving them the wrong platform, in case they don't know enough to figure out the one for their platform (not that Clau necessarily is, just a bit of advice in general).

Use Mission Computer for mac os 9, I would suggest. If you can download from the ambrosia ftp servers, then go (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/cgi-bin/vftp/dl-redirect.pl/MissionComputer9-302.sit?path=evn/utilities&file;=MissionComputer9-302.sit")here(/url)

at least he's not screaming "OMG I LOVE EVN I NEED HELP MAKING A TC I DUNNO HOW TO CODE THOUGH I NEED HELP THNX".
before you do any editing for the planet description, make sure that you study through the preambles and storylines, so you don't make any mistakes such as "a friendly Vell-os helps you with the luggage as you enter the Happy Slaves Suite... you decide to help him out as you see him struggling up the staircase"

I have done it( it`s on my mac only) but there are no ships there and Tichel, Kania and the other sistem near Kania have disapeared. How can i but Vell-os Crafts there and how can i put the Gov named Vell-os and how can i have Tichel Kania,...?

First of all, verify the ID of your s˙st resource. Make sure it is the same as the normal Vell-Os one (though in fact there are two systems, one appears after the Vell-Os are freed and replaces the first one). So you should make sure its ID is "424", and make sure it has links with the sytems "425" and "423".
In the "Government" field in "System Attributes" (when you edit the system) you should make sure it is "140" (that is the Vell-Os government).
Then, in the "Ships" section, make sure the "average number of ships" is more than 0. You can then put "düde" resources in (and the list of those is found in Nova Data 2, just like the systems), like "145" ("Vell-Os") or other ships you want. And make sure the "% Prob" field isn't set to 0 (it's the percentage of probability that you will see that düde in the system).
About Kania, Tichel and others, maybe it's because you put other s˙st resources that overwrite the resources for those systems. So again, verify the s˙st ID.

That's kind of a tall order, being that Nova uses 68 govt resources. Just open up Nova Data 1 in your utility of choice, they're all in there.
Edit: I also highly recommend using Azratax's Nova Reference Plus from the guides section of the add-ons page. It 's most of the Nova data in the form of an Excel spreadsheet, making it very easy to search for the resources you need. It's slightly outdated (data from 1.0.6), but most resources haven't changed all that much. Still a very useful tool.

What does that mean: but the government appears Krypt? Do you mean that the government is Krypt?
Ah yes, sorry, I had been looking at the original Vell-Os s˙st resource the government ID you want is "136" (Vell-Os).
To put a plug on the net you have to submit it to the addons page, so go to that page and scroll to the bottom. There's a button saying "submit file". Follow ALL the instructions (don't forget the e-mail address!).
To put civilian ships, go to the "syst" resource, and in the "Ships" section, select some civilian düde resources (from Nova Data 2) and give them more than a 0% probability.

For that you have to change the Vell-Os govt resource and make the Feds their enemies.

Wow, I'm surprised how far this has come yet no-one has mentioned the bible.
Clau, look inside the documentation folder and you should find the EVN Bible. Read it and memorise it. Specifically, if you read the section on the syst resource then it will answer a lot of your questions and save you the trouble of posting them here. Also, study the Nova data files with Mission Computer so you can see for yourself the governments, systems, dudes and all the different values you should use. Then if you still run into problems just come back and post them here.
