Please note that i posted this about 3 weeks ago, but my computer crashed 15 minutes after writing it and i don't know whether anybody posted:
I have decided to venture from the safe realm of spobs and systs to try and build a ship. i've got the graphics, i've got the spins and masks, and ive put it all in a plugin that only contain's the ship's files( PICT, ship, spin) so i can test to see if it works. However, when i start EVO, the intro screen appears, the loading bar at the bottom loads ALL THE WAY, and then the screen goes bonkers while a Finder error pops up reading something like: "EV encurred an error while starting up, probrobly due to lack of memory. Please allocate more memory and try again." I've tried giving it all I've got, to no avail. The wierd thing is, EVO is perfectly content with another plugin of mine that has both PICT and ship resources, and is much larger. What could possibly be happening?
Another question: What font is used for the target graphics? And what size?

It turns out i assigned the wrong ID to the spin. Now i can buy and drive my ship... BUT..... My graphics are crapped out! Many of the steps are truncated, and turning looks horrible. What can i do? I originally set my spin to 30x30 tiles, but then i found out they were actually 30x29, so i reset the spin to 30x29, same results. Are there set sizes or something? I'm confused.
Ship sprites must be in multiples of 8 or weird things happen (which could be what you're experiencing). make sure the masks matches the sprites or it'll mess up your graphic. Also, the x and y values must be the same.

I think they also have to be in a 6 by 6 grid (36 tiles total), because I tried other layouts and the graphics didn't show for the whole rotation.

COOL! Thanks Phoenix! Now my pic is uninterrupted. NOW it's wobbly, and i know that's because of my sprites being off-center. Does anyone know of any apps that can center the pic in the frame?
You just have to center it exactly in the 3D program- That is the way I always do it.
