Hello. I am new to making plugs. However, I am quite good at such game modifications and would like to invite 2 or 3 other plugin makers (experienced) to create a new total conversion of EVO. Bear with me here for a moment. I would like to make it based upon corporate struggles, with 2-3 corporations battling each other for rights to land.... Furthermore, I wouldl like to have each corporation have it's own ship, outfit, ect. style. I feel this is best acheive by having several people create their own races (corporations), and combining them. I have undergone such ventures on other games, such as Total Annihilation, with great success. Thus, I would lik to ask 2 or 3 other people to join me in this project. Approx 30 systems, 5 types of missions (for favor w/ side), 20 special missions (leading to allegiance), 10 special missions (leading to victory), 6-9 ships, and a number of outfits will be needed for each race/corporation. I would like to create the civilian and independant ships, planets, ect. (as many as other corporations, if not more...) Note that i want extreme cooperation on this project and frequent echanges of ideas and designs..... I call on you all to join me on this joint venture to create the world's best plugin ever!!!

Give it up...The best ideas are the ones that flop down onto their face.

------------------ Whee!
Not sure exactly what Anatole means by things "flopping in your face", but I can speak from experience and say that creating a joint project of the kind you're suggesting is difficult, particularly if you have limited plug-making experience. It's not impossible, but it is difficult.
If you find the developers you're hoping for and decide to forge ahead, my advice would be to plan thoroughly and far in advance. Divide EV:O's resources evenly amongst the developers and make sure that everyone only uses reources from their allotment. This will make combining the individual plug segments into a unified whole much easier.
------------------ Jon Potter Thank you for your cooperation. Good night.
Your idea for the plugin sounds good, Chickmunk. Do you want this to be somewhat like the Lethe / Cydonian war of Escape Velocity?

That's a kinda cool idea... If I had time (at the moment I'm involved in 3 projects) I'd help, unfortuanately, I don't.

Of course we woould divide resources.That is a given. EVO has more resources which is why i want to do it w/ EVO not EV... I already have sketches for the ships, and i want it to be more like the fed/rebel war, but a 3 sided war and not over ideologies but corporate expansion.... each race would have its own advantages and disadvantages, such as one has strong cruisers but weak fighters, vice versa, and one that is moderate n both fields..... And no, the best ideas only flop when they do not have good organization... I already made a test plug and it works perfectly...... I will head the project in more of an organization role than a real experience role..... so please, join me....
what i suggest is you learn how to edit plugins, and code most of it yourself, and then, when you have most of it done, try to get sombody to do graphics/music/sounds...

I'm pretty good with Strata 3D. I'll make some graphics if you need them. And I think it's a good idea for a joint project. Different people have different personalities and their ships will obviously look different. That sounds cool.

I can do some pretty nice ships in Strata 3D. And sometimes I even think of some great missions and concepts. Mail me your sketches or post them on the internet somewhere.

the main thing i will need is graphics. Graphics for ships and weapons. I can do the rest. If you think you can help, email me at cdwise86@mac.com.... I will want all graphics in sprites ready to load up... to save me some time.
