3. That is what negative fuel scoops do- remove fuel all the time. To make a weapon use fuel only when you fire it, use the following instructions from the Nova Bible for the wëap resource's AmmoType field:

   -1000 & below    Weapon uses abs(AmmoType+1000)/10 units of
                                    fuel per shot.
                                    (example: -1005 = 0.5 units per shot)

4. A spöb added by a plug after a pilot is created will start with its defense fleet set to 0 ships. To reset it, capture it and release it (assuming you defined a defense fleet in the spöb resource). It will work fine if you start a new pilot.

Yeaah! Thanks, the two things work now.

This is the default behavior. What, exactly, is the issue?

Sometimes if I save my plug the icon of it changes to a clown which jumpes out of a box, but if I move the icon it changes back to the normal plug-in icon. Bug or feature?

EDIT: I forgot some letters!

And this was my 700th post!

The clown which jumps out of a box is a standard ResEdit icon. MissionComputer(or whatever tool you're useing) saves over it as an EVN plug-in, so that the picture changes. Not a bug, but not really a feature either.

And where are the descs for the ships? They aren't in the normal descs.

Then look somewhere else. The descs are split up over multiple data files as you'll understand if you read another recent topic on this board.

The Ship and Escort dëscs are in Nova Ships 7

Thanks Flish. Again a question:
I can't see my outfits which I bought in the pilot 'profile', only one. What must I do to see them?

Fill in all the name fields. If you leave these blank Nova thinks you want to keep it hidden.

I already did that. I wasn't completly correct, if I look in the pilot profile there stands '..., and .', I noticed the same with ARPIA.

Hey yeah, I noticed that in Arpia too. Couldn't work out what was causing it though. So does the outfit appear in the pilot log?

Yes
What <...> must I take to get the player's name in the text?

This information can be found at the end of the mďsn section of the Nova Bible.

Something will go wrong, but I'm not sure quite what. For all test strings, you need to put in the "&" and/or "|" between bits, and you need to break up groups of more than 2 bits by putting in parentheses. So, if you want to test that bits 1, 2, and 3 are all set, you would put in: "b1 & (b2 & b3)" (not "b1 & b2 & b3" or "b1 b2 b3").

I hope that helps.

Thanks Edd.
What's now with the outfit-name-bug?

EDIT: How can I convert jpeg picts into graphic picts and how can I get them into the PICT resource window?

This post has been edited by Frequency 245 : 05 August 2005 - 09:35 AM

Open the JPEG with an image editor or an image viewer that will allow you to copy the picture. Copy it (select all first if necessary), open the PICT resource window, and paste.

You're using ResEdit, right?

Frequency 245, on Aug 5 2005, 07:50 AM, said:

A couple of questions:

1. Are all of the name fields filled out, specifically the LC Name and LC Plural fields, as well as the resource name itself?
2. Are you using any other plugs that use that RID?

For putting graphics into your plug using MissionComputer, follow orca's instructions, only create a new PICT resource and paste into that.

Edwards

Okay, I've just worked out the outfit name bug (yes it's an engine bug). Negative display orders will cause this.

Matt did say he couldn't guarantee that negative display orders would work.

Ah okay. I think some editors may default to -1.

No, Mission Computer

EDIT: If I want to change a spöb and a s˙st twice in a plug, how can I do this? The ID thing don't work any longer, because I already use the ID with the other change-spöb/s˙st.
