[Contest] Silly Plugs

orcaloverbri9

I'm going to use my final opportunity to make Tongue Shuttle v2.1, which will include hire dëscs.

Believe it or not, I have yet to play even v2.0, but sometimes it's just obvious that it'll work. I attempted to get the Fed. Anaconda glow to work, but none of the many ideas I tried worked. I started and quit Nova more times than probably anyone would like to under OS 9 (apart from those who haven't experienced the blessing that is Nova's load time under OS X :D). I eventually just said screw it and gave up. If I did manage to find a way, it probably wouldn't work under Windows anyway.

If any of you authors want to jump into the EV Nova Board thread with tips on how "voters" can best experience your plugs, feel free.

The file sizes in the list of plug entries are as reported by Safari. For those interested in the "smallest plug" (non)prize, there's been an upset: at 2.7 K, Tongue Shuttle 2.0 is presently beating out NovaJoke (3.8 K) and Presidential Missions (4.0 K). Rather surprising, since Orcalover has graphics in his.

So it looks like the only conflict between the 10 plugs submitted (so far) is between the boom resources in "Cheese" and "Kamikazi." Nothing crashes or looks too wrong -- explosion effects from the plug that load second (Kamikazi) simply replace those from the one that loads first (Cheese). Arion and modesty_blaise_us, are either of you up for a tiny re-write to get rid of this conflict?

Some plugs do conflict (mildly) with Nova itself -- if you haven't seen it before, you may want to look at (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/cgi-bin/vftp/show.pl?product=evn&category;=*&display;=date&file;=ResUsedList_v1.0.6.txt.sit")ResUsedList 1.0.6(/url).

Revisions and late entries are still possible....

Oh, and may the best plugmeister win!

Sorry, but I can't change it at the moment. Over the weekend, I only have access to my old laptop and don't have the resources of the plug on it. Since it is using an old version of OSX, it screws up the zips while opening them, only producing a 0K file and an empty folder.

It is interesting that well-protected secrets and complicated puzzles are often solved faster than easy ones. Why? Because the better a secret is protected and the more complicated a puzzle is, the more thinkers it attracts. - me

I'm starting to muse about the practicalities of putting these plugs into a compilation to submit to the ASW add-ons collection.

Unless authors object, I may put a bunch of plugs in a single .zip archive. I'd leave them as separate plugs so people can choose which ones they want to run, but I'd standardize the format: they'd all be mac plugs in .bin files. I'd also probably combine the readme files.

True Abomination, Swamp, Tongue Shuttle, Hippie Raven, and Kamikaze: These entries would be in the archive.
Nova Joke: This might be included -- I've emailed Gage Stryker to see why I can't get the plug to work.
Reversed Ships Weapons and Presidential Missions: b-jb has already submitted these to the add-ons collection. I'll at least mention these in the readme; if b-jb wants them to be in the archive as well. I'll do that.
Civilian GIR Voices and Cheese Plugin: What shall I do with these larger plugs? I can put them in the archive (and just let it get big), I can leave submission up to their authors, or I can submit them on behalf of their authors right after I submit the compilation so that they appear next to it in the "sorted by date" list of plugs. Again, at the least I'll mention them in the readme.
Ads and Kerry Krypt Pod: Two "extra" plugs I'd like to put in the archive. (The Kerry sprite is shown in my "Extremely Simple Sprites" tutorial.)

How's that?
