Help with plug-ins

Can some one give me some plug-in making applications recommendations?
Thank you

------------------

Yup.

For EV:
(url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/cgi-bin/vftp/show.pl?product=ev&category;=utilities&display;=date&page;=1")The EV Utilities Page(/url) contains lots of things, such as 'plugmaker' and so forth. A word of advice: Don't use EV-Edit. Be sure to download ResEdit.

Then there's (url="http://"http://davidarthur.evula.net/mc.php")Mission Computer(/url), For EV and EVO.

For Nova, there's (url="http://"http://homepage.mac.com/dr_ralph/index.html")w00tware's NovaTools(/url), a VERY good batch of apps and ResEdit companions. ResEdit is available there, too.

All the others aren't worth looking into.

<Edit> As for upcoming software, Arios is making (url="http://"http://www.ariossoftware.com")EVONE(/url), for all three games, and only for OS X.

And I can't find the darned Resource bibles, so someone else can do that. Sowwy.

As I said when you posted this on the EVO board:

Try the add-ons section. If you want to make plugins for EVO, you have two choices:

(1) Download ResEdit and the EVO Bible. This is the best long-term solution as ResEdit is stable and reliable. However, this approach is, despite what people may say, quite confusing and complex for a beginner such as yourself. I recommend you try option 2 to get the hang of it, then move to this option.

(2) Download EV-Edit. EV-Edit is an easy-to-use plug development application, but it's unreliable and can corrupt big plugins. Use it to get a feel for how EVO works, but don't try making any big plugs with it.

(url="http://"http://davidarthur.evula.net/mc.php")MissionComputer(/url) is almost as easy and bug free. I would suggest that he use it instead of EV-Edit for learning purposes and for easily coding plug-ins.

Iwould have to agree....most of the other tools are incomplete and buggy. With exception of the Pontus tools... EV/EVO Developer's Map, and EVO Formula Calc (the latter you need a small grain of salt with; it gives absolute numbers for resources that have only a recommended range). If you are doing EV or EVO, get yourself over to Pontus' site and pick up everything there: (url="http://"http://members01.chello.se/warlordpontus/ev/")http://members01.che...rlordpontus/ev/(/url)

Mission Computer, so far, is showing itself to be competant and bug-free and I do expect great things from it. Plug Checker, also, does fine work, but you do need to know your bible to make use of the output. It can save you some of the frustrating boot-and-debug cycle on a larger plug. I can't speak to wootware as I haven't gotten around to a Nova plug yet.

For everything else, though, I second the above. Save yourself the headaches and don't even download. Out of compassion for the struggling programmers, I won't name names, but I will say I actually paid registration for one before finally giving up on it.

I need help on plugs too, so can anyone answer these two questions: Is it possible to make plugs without res-edit? and, where can you download EV edit?

Small correction: EVONE will work on OS 9 too. Also, see my sig for a slightly more direct link.

He asked where he could download EV-Edit, and I provided him with a link. It is his choice if he wants his plug-ins to come out as bug infested crap.

Get a free email account somewhere, like hotmail.com, excite.com, yahoo.com, mail.com, or any sort of free email service.

I don't think you get any "registration junk mail email" when you sign up for an account, except for 1 email telling you your password.

Many free email services (such as Hotmail and Yahoo) cannot be used as email addresses when you register on these boards.

mail.com is a free service that can be used with the Ambrosia UBB. I know, because I use it.
