Every time I've used Res-Edit, it's screwed up. Even changing something so small as a ship's shields, it's screwed up. On the other hand, where EV-Edit works, it really does work. I know you say that EV-Edit can randomly change numbers, EVula, but the places where it screws up are easy to avoid.
Taylor; stay away from missions, there's a flag there that will not deselect which messes up any missions you want to make. Also stay away from systems for the most part - it works mostly, other than VisBits, but it can cause EV-Edit to crash occassionally. I've never found any problems with any other areas, though.
I'd strongly advise finding MissionComputer.

I wouldn't say I don't want to learn it. Its that i don't have the time and I don't feel like reading a 100 page book full of jargon which I don't feel like trying to understand. I was hoping for something Easy not "go read a few minutes of resedit doc" isn't there anything else i can use?

doesn't EV-Edit sorta work for making Stellers/Systems stuff?
I found something for EV:C in the addons that is only a galactic map editor. It's called EV Developer's Map and you can find it in the Utilities section of the EV addons page. Even though it's not made for EVO, you could use it to make the map look how you wanted, then use resedit and copy the x-y coordinates into an EVO format plug.

If you tell EV Dev Map to use the EVO files, it will make EVO plugs; although I might just be using an EVO version...
anyway: •make aliases of EVO's data 1, data 2, Graphics, Titles, and Sounds files.
•put them in the EVO data files folder in the Dev Map folder.
•That's what the directions said.
•I'll shutup now.

Thanks for the help.. I already knew that. When i first launched EV Dev map it asked were all those were and placed the aliases in the right folders all for me.

If you don't have the patience to learn Res-Edit, I doubt you'll have the patience to make a worthwhile plug-in.

Ok. I guess ill have to sit down and read the whole thing.
Ok, so ive just made this very small plug-in to see if it would work in ResEdit. So how do i get it into the format of a EVO plug-in?

Open up a real EVO plug in Resedit, then go to the file menu and select "get info for <plug name>" then look a the two fields which are called "Type" and "Creator". Remember what is in these fields, open your plug in resedit and put the same thing in the same two fields. (In case you don't already know, make the two dots above letters by pressing option-u then the letter) After putting those two things in there, the former Resedit document will auto matically become an EVO plug.
One caveat though. DO NOT copy the type and creator of an EVO data file, they use a different type and creator.
Anyway, good luck on your plug making, and have fun!

Actually you can just copy a plug-in and delete the resources.

Good luck. It's really not that hard.

I got the EVO bible seperated in diffrent docs so it is easer to under stand. So I only have to look at what im doing. And that really helped... !

You know, this topic really should be on the (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/cgi-bin/ubb/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&number;=9&SUBMIT;=Go")EV Dev board(/url) instead... iMove after iRespond.

Easy! If you want the following characteristics:
0x00000001 Can land/dock here 0x00000002 Has commodity exchange 0x00000040 Has bar 0x40000000 High food prices 0x00000000 Won't trade in industrial goods 0x00400000 High medical prices 0x00040000 High luxury prices 0x00000000 Won't trade in metal 0x00000000 Won't trade in equipment
You say: 0x40040043
I'm not sure what it becomes if a number rolls over 9; I'll leave that for someone more knowledgable.
