How far are you with this plug?
Can I help, i have lots of expireance with hera and can easly make all those weps and ships. (the drones are a little bit dificult but it can be done)
The only problem is that i cant make graphics for the weps and i have little experiance with the internet.
Ive been making plugs for EV since it came out and the same for ares.

So can i be a programer and/or engineer?
(im v good at both but my spelling is bad)

What you see here is about as far as we have come.
Right now, school is rather pressing, and so not much is getting done on this plug.
I'm not in charge of this project, (Patrick is) But i think we'd be glad to have you in the project.

Do any of you have a way of geting Hera with out downloading Ares as well?
Mine comited suiside when i was making my TC a few days ago, I've given up on it now. :frown:
Also if i make any parts of this plug how will i get them to any of you?
(im new to the internet)

As for hera, i dont know where you can find it. I can upload it to my iDisk and then post the link here. (but i cant now since im under OS X)

As for transferring files, if you have an email, it will probably allow you to add attachments. So you just attach the file to an email and send it to one of us.

I also have some more finished CF2 models and am going to post the pics sometime soon.

The Nucular missile looks just like the gravametric missile on EVN

Never noticed that. I haven't even seen the grav missile yet...
Hehe, it's pretty good that i can copy a model i've never seen.

Oh, are you still looking for a clean copy of Hera? (url="http://"http://homepage.mac.com/benedwards/.cv/benedwards/Public/Hera.sit-binhex.hqx")Hera(/url)

Message from Patrick: I dunno if anyone reads this, but the reason I havent been posting to the webboards is because ASW's new server killed my account and doesnt allow new accounts. Because the Ares boards apparently require registration to post replies(wouldnt it make sense to fix that while the account stuff isnt working ) I cant post. If anyone sees this could you please copy paste this post to the thread Vegeta's idea 2 on the engineering board?

------------------

I have a couple "spare" accounts, and I just lent one to Patrick. Hope to see him soon...

Dose any one know how to get the Cargo drones to return to the launchers ship?

------------------
"Time is only a guide

They have to be created via (CreateObjectInheritDest) , I believe.
Then have them (Alter BaseType Reflexive) after a set amount of time, to give them an arrive action of (Die Expire Reflexive | Alter Energy).

Dont get that

hears what ive done allready:

1)Launch cargo drone age 1000,
2)only engage C.D.A (energy C.D.A),
3)expire sequence create object cargo drone 2 (which is supost to return to the launch from ship)

What now?

I live!
Skyfox, I think we could handle the graphics something like this:
Me
CF1
EF
MU
BAR

You
CF2
CF3
PIR
Aliens(based off of CF2 sprites)

That should solve any problems with ships not being consistent with other ships of the same faction.
BTW, do you have sprites for the stuff you've posted or is it just brief pics so far?
And do you have a template for the briefing pics that I could use? The interface really should be the same for all of them so if you could give me the fonts/glow effect that would be great.
Well I'm off to actually try and get something done on this heh. Hopefully I can get some of the MU ships done.

Pallas: Thanks again for the account!

I think the problem is that the Cargo Drone 2 isn't inheriting the Destination of the Carrier from the Cargo Drone 1.

If you take the Expire Action, and change it to an Alter BaseType instead of a Create, then it might work.

um the expire action is when the age runs out, and i havent completed the drones yet so havent tested it.
i just dont know how to finish it!
Ive sort of hit a programers block.

I suggest you use Alter BaseType in any case (objects expire at the end of the expire action, I believe, but by that point age won't equal 0 any more).

Simply have Cargo Drone 2s no longer have engage or evade flags, and they'll return to the launch bay. Their target will be the launching ship, so if the Arrive action is something to the extent of (Die None Reflexive | Alter Energy) , then they'll just disappear and add to the launcher's energy as desired.

Ok im trying this,

Are the shields ment to be that low or should i put an extra 0 on the end?

(btw im siting in front of my computer so the results dont have to wate untill tomorow)
