I haven't visted the boards in a LONG time, and it appears the search function has disappeared...or I'm getting old very quick. Is there any documentation on the new flags, resources, and the like that will be used in EV:Nova? While the Editor definately looks gnarly, I don't want to wait for it, and I don't really like editors anyway. Getting dirty with ResEdit always yielded the best results =). Thanks! -Dave
The (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/webboard/Forum18/HTML/000007.html")progress log(/url) lists new features as they are added. When a new one is revealed, there is usually a topic discussing it on the Nova board. The good thing about the new editors is that they are made in conjunction with Ambrosia. In fact, the ATMOS team themselves are using them to create the scenario. They are every bit as effective as ResEdit, and easier to use too. Nova is so much more complex than EV and EVO that ResEdit would likely be a pain in the you-know-what to edit plug-ins with.

Of course, for you hardened ResEditors, the EVN bible will come out before the game is released, so that you don't need to rely on or wait for (whichever applies) the R&R; editors to start designing plugs for Nova.
<edit> I just found andrew's exact words in the "Nova Editors Update" thread on the subject:

The purpose of the delta_v mailing list is facilitate the creation of new worlds, missions, ships, weapons, etc. for Escape Velocity. It is NOT a list to talk about the game itself; we suggest you use the Ambrosia web boards for that.

Getting down and dirty with resedit with resedit's interface can be downright tedious (trust me, I did it for nearly three years). The R&R; Software editors are an awesome set of tools, and once you have played with them, you will never be able to go back to 'pure' resedit editing. I know I say this all the time, but I think it bears repeating: the R&R; Nove Editing Suite is ~awesome~.

When the EVN bible is released officially, I'll be selecting beta testers for the NovaTools ResEdit editors. I'll be on the delta_v list as well.
I want them to come out as soon as possible, but not to jump the gun. Measure twice and cut once... I will be guided by Andrew, Matt and the ATMOS team as to exactly when this will happen.
