As some of you may be aware, I've recently been working on a mission editor for EV Override. Now that I've completed the alpha 2 build, and the editor is reaching the beta stage, I've decided to release some more information. On the temporary (url="http://"http://members.aol.com/darthur1/mc/")pre-release page(/url), you can find the progress log and six new screenshots.
This editor will be available as both a Classic application and Carbonised for Mac OS X. It includes full EV Override 1.0.2 support, and, while the initial relase supports EV Override only, I plan to write a version that supports the original Escape Velocity as well. It is unlikely that I will write an EV Nova version, however, given the work R&R; Software have already put into their NovaTools.

Great job! That will definitely remove one of the major barriers to writing plug-ins: the missions and all their descriptions.

One of the things I like about it is that it saves the developer having to do all the calculations needed for missions, like the flags, and all the different possiblities for the payment, the planets, the ships, and so on. It will also reduce the amount of time Mac OS X users have to spend in Classic.

I've updated the (url="http://"http://inpar.dhs.org/mc.html")prerelease page(/url) with preliminary screenshots of this utility running on Mac OS X, and the announcement that the Classic version will soon be ready for testing, with the Carbon version to follow.
Nice. 'might just be enough to get me making plug-ins, if I can find some people like Weepul and Carnotaur to help me with a few graphics. <smiling>
All hail David Arthur! ...once he's made it and if it's good!
Just asking, David, who's beta testing it? (hint hint)

Nobody, it's not in beta yet. As to who will be beta testing it, that's another story...

GOOD! In all my years of doing EV pluggins there was never a good mission editor. And seeing as mission plugs are my specialty, i look forward to your program. Keep up the exelent work and keep me informed.

The server is a Centris 660av in Toronto, and it appears to have finally crashed under the increased traffic brought by being linked from these web boards. I'll see if I can get it restarted or find another home for the files.

You could try registering an f2s account (20meg free space), as long as your website is loaded with images.

Time is an illusion, downtime doubly so. I've re-posted the web site and all its attendant screenshots on a new server which is not likely to crash, and the prerelease page can now be accessed at (url="http://"http://members.aol.com/darthur1/mc/")http://members.aol.com/darthur1/mc/(/url).
Today's progress log entry...

Implemented the creation of new empty plugins.
Implemented graphical selection for the AvailStel, TravelStel, and ReturnStel fields.
Designed logo graphic.
I've completed the Alpha 4 build, which will quite likely become Beta 1 with little or no modification.
Looks good, especially the OS X-version screenshots.
