This question might have been answered before, probably, but I don't see any search button for the forum and i dont want to surf posts for the next 4 hours, so, I was wondering, im trying to create a win plugin with EVNew, and in the bible and everything I see info for creating new weapons, but i just want to edit the existing stats of the polaris torps and multi torps, is there a way to do that, or do I have to create a new weapon. Also, how do I find out the IDs of all the weapons and stuff in the game?

The easiest way to find out the ID numbers is to open all the stuff in Nova Files and look around. As for plugins, I taught myself to do it just by messing around with EVNEW, remeber not to edit Nova Files directly though, bad things will happen if you make a mistake there.

As for the polaron torpedoes, the easiest way to do it (I think) goes like this:

1. Open 2 EVNEW windows.
2. In one open Nova Data 4 (the on with weap/outf resources) leave the other blank
3. Find the weaps and outf you want to change(you'll need 1 weap and 2 outf for each thing you modify)
4. Copy each resource (ctrl+c) individually, and paste them in the blank EVNEW window.
5. Edit the resources in your the window you pasted them into.(Change damage, amount you can buy, cost, etc)
6. Save the new resources in your Plugins Folder.
7. You're done, enjoy!

In the future, for a question like this you might get a better response in the developers corner.
Oh and, welcome to the boards.

Thnx a ton, but I think I'm a little confused, when you say2 outfits and 1 weapon, I only want to change the ammo stats, so wouldnt I only have to copy the outfit and make the changes?

It's ok to edit the nova files as long as you have a safe copy of them somewhere.

And I thought you only needed 1 outfit and 1 weapon, but maybe I'm wrong...

One outfit so you can buy the weapon, and one outfit so you can buy the ammo. Hence two öutf resources and one wëap resource.

ah ha. thanks

If you just want to change the damage and stuff of the ammo then you'll only need the 1 weapon.
