I'm making a plug-in for EVO but I don't know which editor would be the best to use. So far, I've been using EV-edit, but it's pretty buggy and everything I make ends up getting messed up. What's the overall best editor. Oh, and another question: Where could I get a tutorial for Strata 3D?
------------------ Never give up hope in anything, persevere.
EV-Edit sucks. Try EVOGod (Pretty good, but not totally complete), Shipwrite or the Docks (Both great for making ships, I prefer shipwrite), and EVO Developer's Map (Much better than the EV Developer's map... This one is truly wonderful).
I use those, and my plugs usually turn out pretty good.

Unfortunately, the only editor around that allows for complete editing of plugs for EVO and is stable enough that you will be able to keep most of what you do is ResEdit. However, as stated by BattleDoctor, I would also go for ShipWrite by R&R; Software and EVO Developer's Map by Pontus Ilbring.
(shameless advertising) Or you could just wait until Nova comes out and use the complete suite of editors from R&R; Software that come with it... (/shameless advertising)

I use a mix of ResEdit and Shipwrite, and a few other minor editors. I must admit that ResEdit is the most powerful as long as you know how to use it. I highly recommend reading the EVO Bible...

Yes Ev-edit sucks,I prefer resedit and shipwrite
ResEdit is the best, but it requires that you read a 10 page paper. Oh and Frandall: R&R; will have a suite of editors included? Cool!

Yeah, I've heard a lot about the program...Sounds like it is going to be really good...
I'll say. That ought to make it easier for developers, though I don't really like shipwrite/mission control, a little buggy. But, hopefully since it will go through a big bug-testing process since it'll be included they ought to have caught any bugs that pop up.

So some bugs have actually been found in ShipWrite? Maybe that's why I had so much trouble getting my plugin I made awhile back to work...
I havent found any bugs in SW & MC. I highly recommend them. And delete EVEdit before you get sick. It will spread to your bones throught the mouse.

No kidding...

If they do not get released with Nova they will enjoy a separate release very shortly after I would imagine. The entire suite of editors is ~awesome~ (I know I've said that before, but it bears repeating). MC and SW are barely a beginning compared to what will be on offer...
I believe the "suite of editors" is actually a bunch of ResEdit plugs, that add a slight graphical touch and an easy to understand interface to ResEditing. Correct me if I'm wrong Cookie...;)
PEACE YO!

Where could I get EVO Developer's Map?

On a related note, what happened to EVO God? It was looking to be a promising editor, but it wasn't complete. Did the guy working on it stop? It's only at ) version .8 right now... will it eer be finished?

Okay, look, I hate to do this but I KNOW that Battledoctor has posted here in the last 10 minutes.
So, please Battledoctor, come to (url="http://"http://pub18.ezboard.com/baradapilotsboard")http://pub18.ezboard...radapilotsboard(/url) !
We need you there to play the Haldazar in Apocalyptic Night (don't worry, we're stalling the game until you join)
I know you'd like to join - you said so.
Everybody else: Look, I'm sorry to do this, especially on a certain topic. But we sort of need Battledoctor to come, write down his ship types, and then we can get on with the game. I'm sorry - I'm sorry - I'm sorry.
If you feel I deserve punishment, I'll accept whatever punishment you'd like to throw at me (bearing in mind that I won't mind much since I've got another webboard to play around on now)
-----------------------
On topic: EvEdit is horrible, and Strata 3D - well, I need a tutorial too.
So generally I can't answer, but in fact would ask the exact same two questions.
Oh, and that was from me.
(I'm Esponer on the other boards)
------------------ Great webboard: (url="http://"http://pub18.ezboard.com/baradapilotsboard")http://pub18.ezboard...radapilotsboard(/url)

You are wrong Kwanzar. There is much more to this suite of editors than just a bunch of ResEdit plugs...

I mention this a lot, but a great aide to developers is the EVO Bible Annotated Edition (I'm pretty sure it is located somewhere in the EVO addons page...). It's very well organized and easier to read than the original Bible, and it also adds some comments and hints not found at all in the Bible. A must have! I give it two thumbs up!
