Thing is, I have become addicted to the beauty of Magma. Now, I'm not shallow to the point that I can't tolerate bad graphics, its just that at this point in my EV career, I wish to stay with the niceness as longas I am able. So, I was wondering if there were any plugs that didnt mess around with the ship graphics, something with good missions preferably. Thankee

They say that New Horison/s is good. It has alot of new missons and stuff.I've played it but do not like the graphics.

Long live the Alien empire!
I don't believe there are any. I asked this question a while ago and no one knew of any.

has anyone ever considered updating some of the existing pugs graphics so they are up to par with magmas? granted, it will be no easy task, but i think the results would be interesting to see.

If anyone ever needs help for any part of a plug just e-mail me. zane@cnunited.com

To do something like that, you would need permission from the developer of the plug. It's not likely that anyone would go to the trouble of getting permission from all the various plug owners and then having to do all the graphics.

If I ever finish my plug-in, Torgo, it won't have any new graphics. It will center on helping the people of Torgo Prime from the dread Torgo Virus. It also will add some Lethe and Cydonian missions, maybe some new small strings for the Rebels and 'feds, an extended Artemis Group string, some pirate missions, new perses flying around the galaxy, and maybe some other stuff. But because I'm only using Schmelta-V, (hey, it's my first plug!) it won't add new graphics, but some real fun missions.

That sounds pretty darn cool Luke. Also, graphics aside, are there any plugs that allow you to really end the war between the feds and the rebels? Like totally obliterate one governement?
There are a couple. The best one is probably final battle, though.

No kidding u wanna obliterate a government try new horizons, four gov capitals are destroyed and countless other systems get scorched if u do the LOI string then the TRDF string then the rebel/alien string there must be over a dozen previously inhabited systems reduced to nothing...i like the rebel graphics on new horizons but there are some that are plain weird i like it though...
When I played New Horizons it always crashed whenever I went into the mission computer. Anyone know why?

It's entirely possible that running it under emulation could cause this. Also, try increasing EV's memory allocation.

EVGE, despite being a graphics plugin, works pretty well with MAGMA. It features oblique
graphics which may contrast a little with MAGMA's color scheme, but otherwise fit in
nicely.
However, it would help to have some familiarity with an editor like Resedit to make
EVGE mesh nicely with MAGMA (to get rid of the remaining flat graphics, etc).
In EVGE's spin resource,
And, somehow fix the appearance of regular torpedos: likely by turning off the spin
continuous flag in EVGE's weapon resource so that the missile sprites don't move around
spinning around its center.
Otherwise, if you don't mind dealing with the two flat alien ships, spinning torpedos,
and very weird spearhead missiles, the graphics work well without any editing.

The plug "Epic Missions" adds no graphics but was still very good.

As for this plugin, are the missions based on the aliens, or multiple governments?

It contains several mission strings for the rebel government (sort of). They are available if you are a confed too. The story explains everything. Lots of fighting-- your cruiser is meat 
------------------
Yeah, I just checked the Epic Missions set out myself, they're okay if you don't mind character development a little. Some of them were mind bogglingly hard, and it even looked liek they violated the 36 ship engine rule, though I'm sure thats not the case.
So are the Rebels missions the only ones, or are there similar confed ones?

Cruiser meat? Heh...
Sounds like a good plugin. I'll have to try it sometime when I get the chance.
