I'm making a new cargo for a minor EVO plugin I'm making. The problem is that my attempts to get EVO to display the name of the cargo is screwing up. It's displaying a blank space. I believe this is an error in what I'm doing for the strings (this is the first plugin I've tried).
So my question is... (Assuming I have a cargo called "Wingnuts"...) What exactly do I have to do to get it to display "Wingnuts" when Cargo ID #060 is selected?

Well, first , you cannot have a cargo or anything else with an ID# of 060; ID numbers refer to resources and always start at 128.
Cargo is not actually a resource, however, and uses index numbers or position numbers which are zero based. So for a cargo with an index number of 60 you need three 'STR ' resources with ID#s of 9060, 9160, and 9260. "STR " # 9060 will contain the general cargo name ,"Wingnuts" (maximum of 19 characters), 'STR ' 9160 is for the lowercase version of the name, and 'STR ' #9260 is for the abbreviated version (8 characters max.) of the name for use in the status display.
Hope this helps.
Ah, yes, got it now.
All that kinda crap with the resource IDs took me quite a while to figure out, but once I got it, it was pretty easy. I sometimes get confused every now and then, though. Takes practice using Res-Edit...

I cheat. I use EV:O Formula Calc, available at the URL below. (url="http://"http://members01.chello.se/warlordpontus/ev/index.html")http://members01.che...s/ev/index.html(/url)
I learned the ropes on EV-Edit, then I switched to Res-Edit when I sort of knew what I was doing. (and partially because I lost 4 months of work when EV-Edit wrecked my plug-in)
