Making Plugins

Anybody in this board (or other boards) that knows how to make plugins any advice, experience in making them. How to get started. What progams are recommended among the more experienced plugins makers. Do any of the Mods have some tips for me.

Ok, seeing as the orginal comment I posted here cost me a karma point I feel i'd be best off deleting it.

Than Mods could you move this to the correct board and tell me what board you moved it to.

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

Okie, as has been pointed out, this isn't the board for this topic... moving to EV Dev. corner.

Does resedit work for Macs. I'm trying to work on a ship plug but first I have to get people's opinion, advice, etc. (read my first post that I put down).

ResEdit is Mac-only, so of course it works on Macs.

What do you need an opinion about?

UE General, I posted some advice under another topic. It might be helpful to read through it.

You should read the EV Developer's Faqs. It'll answer all/most of your questions and there are links to tools and stuff...

PEACE YO!

Thanks Kwanzar.

Ok, first you should grab a copy of (url="http://"http://hotfiles.zdnet.com/cgi-bin/texis/swlib/hotfiles/info.html?fcode=MC13272&b;=mac")Resedit(/url), this will allow you to edit all parts of a ev/evo plug, be warned though, resedit is a powerful app that can seriously screw up your mac if misused. Next, grab a copy of the (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/cgi-bin/vftp/dl-redirect.pl?path=ev/utilities&file;=EVBible.sit")EV Bible(/url) it tells you everything you need to know to create plugins, it also includes some resedit templates that you must place in an empty plug to make it editable.

hmm, UEG asking sensible, grammatically correct (ish) questions. Keep it up, and try not to lose too much karma on the banter+brawl.

I'll try not to lose to much on the EV Banter and Brawl now that I really know how to act now. I hope EV Nova turns out to be a very good game.

I recommend downloading the EVO Bible Annotated Edition (at the EVO Add-ons page on Ambrosia's site). It explains a lot of stuff that the original EVO Bible is unclear on, and provides some additional notes that are not in the original version either. I consider it a must-have.

Thanks. Over the 5 day weekend I'll download those Plugs that you guys suggested.

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

Do you know where to get the EV/O Bible. I only saw the EVO special edition, is that what I need? Is it in the Utilities?

The relevent bible ships with every copy of EV/O. You'll find it in the Plug-in Developer's Folder within the EV/O Folder
