How to change the file format to "Ev Nova File" instead of "ResEdit File"? Is there any programs that can help you with plugin designing for Ev Nova?
Plz help me out, 'cos I really want to make plugins, and I have a really good idea!

This type of question is best suited for the (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/cgi-bin/ubb/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&number;=9&SUBMIT;=Go")EV Developer's Corner(/url). This is the board where we discuss gameplay and bugs; the Dev. Corner is where we discuss plugins and stuff. Don't worry, we won't lynch ya for such a small offense...yet One of the mods will move the topic to the Dev. Corner for you.
Welcome to the boards. We hope you enjoy your stay!

To get Nova Tools up and running on ResEdit: Download ResEdit from (url="http://"http://www.resexcellence.com")ResExcellence(/url). Download Nova Tools from (url="http://"http://w00tware.ev-nova.net/")w00tware(/url). Open the ResEdit Preferences in ResEdit. Open Nova Tools in ResEdit. Copy everything in Nova Tools into the ResEdit Preferences. Quit ResEdit. Launch ResEdit. Start Plugging.

In ResEdit with your plug file open, click the file menu and choose (can't quite remember...) I think Get Info (It's one of the two options above Verify). Then there'll be two text fields. One's labeled Type (again, i think) and the other is creator. The Type should be changed to Npďf and the Creator to Növä. It will then make it into a compatible plug with the nice little plug icon and everything.
(Yes, that's vague but it should get you on the right track.) And yes, this is a Developers forum question.

The application Setitstype is an app I have to change file type/creators. I think the Nova creator is Növa, the Resedit one is RSED, et cetera. I find using resedit to change file types much more difficult, but hey, whatever floats your boat.(I occasionally need to change the creator of hundreds of documents at a time, and to my knowledge this is not possible with resedit. or maybe it is. 's been awhile since I checked.)
Nova Tools is good, but... I don't know, I abandoned plug-in design for Nova-- or for EV in general after the move to Nova. I haven't the patience, time, or processor power to finish a Nova plug-in(rendering graphics, sequencing mbits, etc)

------------------
Nova's creator is Növä, and plugs are something like Npďf. Not sure, download a small plug and check with res.

Thanks! You really helped me out, but I have one more question:
Where can I find all of Nova's IDs with the associated ship, outfit, planet etc listed? Where on the keyboard is those "mad" letters like the "i" with two dots over it?
Again: thank you for your help, everybody!

Repeat after me: "Norge herjer" that's norwegian for "Norway rules!"

I'm not sure if I totally understand your first question, but you can open some of the Nova Data Files in ResEdit (just don't change anything, and if you do, don't save), and you'll be able to see the Nova resources. And I assume you already have the Nova resource bible?
For your second question, any letter with two dots over it is made by pressing option-u, then the letter you want with two dots over it (only works with vowels). You can actually check this out using Key Caps -- when you hold down option, it outlines certain keys; these keys are the helper keys, much like option-u. I suggest fooling around with Key Caps for a good five minutes to get a hang of typing fun characters on a Mac...it's one of the things that I'm hating about my PC.
