Hi! This is my first really big plugin (tc!) and there are some things I need help with. I'll keep this post as up to date as I can. You can read about my plugin at the upcoming plugins page
Here are my major problems -System naming (I could use a name generator or something if you know what I mean) -Ship graphics (maybe suggest good shipyard websites)
Please help bye !
Some good ship resources I know of (that are up and running) are, in no particular order:
Meowx Shipyards - (url="http://"http://www.modenstudios.com/shipyard/")http://www.modenstudios.com/shipyard/(/url) Adam's Shipyard - (url="http://"http://www.connect.ab.ca/~bsommerf/")http://www.connect.ab.ca/~bsommerf/(/url) Grand Novice - (url="http://"http://www.grand-novice.com/EVES-site/free_stuff.html")http://www.grand-nov...free_stuff.html(/url) EVula's Lair - (url="http://"http://www.evula.com/shipyard/")http://www.evula.com/shipyard/(/url) Shade's Shipyard - (url="http://"http://www.geocities.com/shades_shipyard/")http://www.geocities...hades_shipyard/(/url) Caernarvon Station - (url="http://"http://www.geocities.com/kelaarin/Caernarvon.html")http://www.geocities...Caernarvon.html(/url) BB's EV Shipyard - (url="http://"http://www.shoalhaven.net.au/~bb/")http://www.shoalhaven.net.au/~bb/(/url) (was up recently, but I can't reach there right this second)
Got links to my favorites right here: (url="http://"http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/msw4/evoa/resources.html")http://www.people.co.../resources.html(/url)
Also Saber Studios when (and if) he comes back - (url="http://"http://saberstudios.evula.net/")http://saberstudios.evula.net/(/url)

If i'm not mistaken, EV-Edit when unstuffed contained a folder called "Goodies". I believe there was a small app that gave you a generated list of names. This was in an early version of EV-Edit so I don't know if the later versions also come with this folder.(I'm currently using a modified Res-Edit) Only one way to find out!
Good Luck in your endeavor

if anyone can make graphics the ships I need will have to have the following. -color scheme of grey with organic looking bits of dark blue -I need big ships like carriers and warships (I have enough fighters) -and they need to be pretty sleek. There aren't many bulky ships in this particular race. and if someone could make weapons to go with them I would much appreciate it.
Thanks !

Ok..I'll do some stuff and see how it works out...Although I can't really do that much unless you are more specific.
Well to be more specific it's the slicer set from Shade's Shipyard. Find it (url="http://"http://www.geocities.com/shades_shipyard/")here(/url)

Well, if your services are free, (if they aren't, I understand but I am a begining plug-in maker and have NEVER posted a plug-in before.)can you make me a Confederation coler-coded ship that looks like two beaten up Rebel Crusiers with their noses attached at the point but there engines still pointing strait?
If so, please reply either via e-mail(rve@earthlink.net) or AIM (bongaonga1). Thanks!

How do you give a ship it's 3/4, comm, icon, and target views. I know you use spin resources for the sprites but what about the other views?

As someone has already said, there is a small application called "EV-Names" included in the EV-Edit package which does this job very well. You will need to create custom 'STR#' resources, however, or your systems will have the same names as 10,000 other plugs.

When you get your graphics from someone, they should hopefully have all of those included. I would suggest, for weapons and other stuff, doing them yourself - you get a little more control. There's a nice free program called (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/cgi-bin/vftp/dl-redirect.pl/Mechanisto.sit.hqx?path=ev/utilities&file;=Mechanisto.sit.hqx")Mechanisto(/url) that is great for some simple design stuff. You'll probably want to download the (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/cgi-bin/vftp/dl-redirect.pl/MechanistoHelper110.sit.hqx?path=ev/utilities&file;=MechanistoHelper110.sit.hqx")Mechanisto Helper(/url) as well. Then you too can stay up late nites rendering...

The downloads came with those views but what I mean is with Res edit how do you make a ship have it's images associated with it in the game? One more quick question-How do you use flags?
