I's still like to do that. Would anyone be interested in it? Would it be worthwhile to make it? Your suggestions (for possible fun additions and etc.) and comments, please.
(I asked this before, but is it legal?) Thanks guys.

It is, as long as you don't sell it, and credit is given where due.

That's what I figured. Thanks again, bud. ANd of course I'll give credit! Mr. Burch and ASW deserve more than I can give!
Would anyone be interested in a plugin of this nature?

Don't forget credit to Peter Cartwright, for he forged the EVO universe...

I'd certainly be interested in such a plugin. With the Nova features, it'd be quite a hit...
I personally plan on "porting" EV to Nova. Although the missions and all would be the same, I'd use my own ship and outfit graphics in place of the old ones.

I recall one of the w00tRalphTools was "Port Authority" which would convert an EV/O plugin into a Nova plugin. Since the EV/O data files are essentially plugin files, it should work for them as well.
Of course DrRalph would know more...

There would be more to it than that, if one wanted to take advantage of the new engine features.
Unless you are planning to upgrade all EVO's graphics to make use of the new engine, I wouldn't bother, because anyone will be able to do it with Port Authority.

Well, I would be willing to help you with this - I'm terrible with ships, but I know my way around everything else. If you're interested, send me an e-mail.
Hey, I was planning on doing it anyway.
It would seem to me that you'd want to get someone who has actual 3d models of the ships to re-render them into 16-bit sprites with all the different graphic features available in EVN. The guy(s) who did Magma would probably be able to do that. Why, Matt Burch and wossname, Peter Cartwright (was that the guy who did EVO? My memory is too full of college-type info to remember), etc. might still have the original models on a Zip disk or CD-R somewhere.
------------------ Because it's there, MotherF----r
The Infini-D models from EV Override are in the add-ons section. The models from Escape Velocity are not available, and Matt Burch does not plan to release them. Similarly, there are no plans to release the models from EV Nova.

Yes sir, I do. I yhave some friends over here who are good with graphics and are willing to help. If what they do isn't as up to par as we think it should be, I'll ask someone from this webboard,

Again, this is what is planned. I might have to end up asking Moden Studios anyways. (The guys who did MAGMA)

That would be a cool idea. Not just a port of EVO to EVN, but a few plugs included. IHMO, plugins such as Reign of the uE :), Reign of the Voinians I & II, Beyond the Crescent, Persons of the EVO Webboard and F-25 (v.20) should be included with the things. If those plugs could be compatible, that would be awesone - and w/EVN's engine, it just might be possible. Escpecially the fact that you can ALWAYS have a pers in the system in EVN - that would solve the compliant that many people who play w/"Persons of the EVO Webboard" have - that they don't see the perses that often. (I recently saw Ulitmate Rebel's ship while playing EVO, BTW.)
God bless,

Look at one thing, though; for those plugs with custom graphics, I'd have to get someone to redo those graphics as well, which would take time and money!

Where!?! I look for them, and they're nowhere to be found!
Originally posted by Phoenix155: Where!?! I look for them, and they're nowhere to be found!
I think they're in the Guides section or something strange like that.
Originally posted by David Arthur: **I think they're in the Guides section or something strange like that. **
Alright. I found them...anyone know how to convert them to another format...? Thanks again.
How odd, I'm working on a very similar project myself, and have started writing it already. Duplicating each other's work is counterproductive; perhaps we could work together to some extent? I plan to use Nova's char resource so you can start as other races, expand the storyline a good deal, add a couple of systems, make the Voinians less one-dimensional, and edit out all the British spellings Peter Cartwright didn't manage to fix. Work is progressing slowly for now, but should speed up during breaks, and if classes get more boring and I can write during them ...

That'd be great. Although we certainly can't do anything at the moment (it's hard to when Nova ain't out yet ;)), I'd like to give it a shot. I'll e-mail you once I start getting things underway. Thanks for volunteering.
