Help with Hex

I was poking around with plugin making when it would not let me put any hex stuff in to the spöb(or shďp) recource. You know, the 0x0000 thing. What do I do with it to make it work? The EV Bible said somthing wierd about making it work...

I think you are reffering to the flags in a spöb, you usually put in $00000001 or whatever you want on your spöb. Same for the shďp one. I got most of the info from the ResEdit guide, it is very helpful. I am sure some other people can explain it better.

-a quote from Arthur C Clarke's short story, "A Meeting With Medusa"

Hex is base 16. Numbers past 10 are letters. A=10 B=11 C=12 D=13 E=14 F=15
To add hex with EV/O, simplely add the colunms

You have this information
0x00000001 Can land/dock here
0x00000002 Has commodity exchange
0x00000004 Can outfit ship here
0x00000008 Can buy ships here

and you want to make a stellar that A) is landable (1) 🆒 Can outfit ships (4) and has a shipyard (9) Note that all these numbers came from the same colunm. Add 1+4+9 and you get 12.
12 is equal to C, so the last number is going to be C.

The only place that you have to deal with numbers past 10 is in govts, spobs, and misns. (I think)

They really are all the hard, but untill you learn how it works, they can seem impossible.

To clarify here, in ResEdit you need to put a $ sign before the number, and leave off the 0x. It is shown as 0x in the bible because it is formatted that way in almost everything else.
For example:
0x0001 Xenophobic
0x0002 Ships of this govt will attack the player in non-allied systems... (etc.)
0x0004 Always attacks player
0x0010 Warships will retreat at 25% shields

To combine these in ResEdit, you will need to input $0017 in the Flags field.
