(just a quick message) I'm having a bit of trouble with the EVO developer's map... Many times, when I create a planet in a system, it will proceed to show otherwise uninhabited systems as being inhabited, many times with the planet I had previously created elsewhere... is there an easier way to do this, or a problem free way?
------------------
That's odd. The only thing I can recommend is to go in with ResEdit and fix the problems...Beyond that, who knows?

Could you explain the problem a bit more? I am not sure exactly what you mean. I certainly have never had any problem like what you seem to be saying; all of the hundreds of spobs I have created in devmap stayed where I put them.

It seems like you are looking at a TC plug which has less total spobs and systems than does EVO. When this happens, the EVO systs which were not replaced by the TC systems will remain, creating a confusing map. Solution, just go and eliminate the remaining EVO spobs in Dev Map. That should do the trick.

Actually, I had a similar problem. Each time I opened my TC, all the original EVO systems superimposed themselves. I believe I fixed it by copying the EVO Data1 file and copying over the Sys resource with a blank plug -- obviously, EVO Developer's Map had been looking at that file each time I tried to open my own plug.

Or you could just not load the Override data, but just pressing cancel when it asks "where is Override Data 1/2?" That way everything is only connected to your plug. Don't forget to load graphics and titles if you want those, though.
Hope this helps.

Ok, I will have to try these. Thanks. I have clarified, however, that when a system/spob gets screwed up it SOMETIMES exists within its original system AND in the new system. And sometimes it decides to move... "Funny, I don't remember creating a planet named Atlas there, and further more I don't remember creating a planet named Atlas anyways..." (this seriously happened) I think I'll just have to sort out the problems with ResEdit.
And what is a TC?
-Lequis
TC means total conversion. Its a plugin which replaces the entire EVO universe with a new universe, for example Frozen Heart.
