I have my plug in completely finished, except for getting the PICTs to work. I have the right PICTs but how do I get them to show up when you select the ship with tab and when you hail it. Right now it is just blank.
Does the EV Bible even have a section over PICTs? I couldn't find it. Thanks in advance.
------------------ -The Sun will always rise
From the shďp section of the Bible: Ships' target info picts are stored in PICT resources 3000 and on. The engine is smart enough to reuse targeting picts for two ship classes that have the same base sprites: all you have to do is give the first of any series of identical-looking ship types a target pict in the usual way (PICT resource ID 3000 + shipID - 128) and the engine will use it for all higher-numbered ship types with the same base sprites.
Hail is something similar; look at the existing resources to work out the exact formula. For example, if a ship with target pict 3020 has hail pict 6020, you add 3000 to the target pict to get the hail pict.

Thanks for the quick reply. It is much appreciated.
I should have looked harder for PICTs in the Nova Bible. Sorry.
Hey, we forgive you!
Good luck with your plugin! I hope it turns out well!
