I just got new ships, and I wanna know how to put them into the game. When I decompress them I see 3 pictures and a resedit doc. What do I do with these?

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

Just change the creator codes(mérc?) of the resedit document into an EV-plugin, drop it into the plugin folder and away you go.

Umm.. there is no merc resource, just a pic and spin resource.

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

Uhm.... heheheh. I'm not the best guy to help you with this, but do this; open an ev plugin in resedit. Get info on it. Get info on your resedit file. Compare them and change the creator codes in the resedit doc to the ones in the other plugin. This will make EV see it as a plugin. Drop it in the plugins folder.

Why didn't you say that to start with?

If you want to add ships to the game without replacing existing ships, you will have to use ResEdit to change the ID numbers of the new ships to numbers that are not used in the game. You will also have to change the ID#s of all the resources associated with the ship; there are around 15, can't remember the exact number at the moment, but they include the 'spďn' resource, 6 'PICT' resources, 2 'dësc' resources, and 4 'STR ' resources. A little tool called "EVO Formula Calc" is a great help in this, it will calculate the correct ID numbers for all the resources. If you can't find it in the add-ons part of the archives, it can be found here:

Thanks, but it still sounds like alot of work. Maybe I'll give it a try next time I have time to mess with it.

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

If ya want a couple ships added in, email me the pics and stats for the ships at ChaosMan@sg1fans.net and i'll shove 'em in a plug and send it back to ya (unless you've figured out how to do it yourself now).

You're asking how to make a EV plug. It's not too hard.

Step 1) RTFF(1). (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/cgi-bin/ubb/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&number;=29&SUBMIT;=Go")The FAQ(/url) (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/cgi-bin/ubb/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&number;=29&SUBMIT;=Go#28")"How Do I make a ship?"(/url)

Step 2) Do what the FAQ says.

Step 3) There is no step 3.

(1)Acronym for Read the Fine(2) FAQ.

(2)There are those who maintain that this actually refers to some other word starting with F. I don't know what it could be, though.
