New Ships... How do you make them?

Is this question already asked a lot, or isn't it? Because I really want to make a new ship but I don't know how. I'm not the smartest at those kind of stuff I guess. :redface:

Download the EV Bible, though it doesn't tell you how to do graphics. This is better for the Development Corner. Though you can download development software for it in the development section of the addons page. I use ResEdit and the EV Bible doesn't tell you how to make them into plugs (well I havn't seen it in the EV Bible), so you might want PlugMaker or Plug-In TickerII.

Thanks! Runs off to try make a ship... Ends up making a giant monster instead

RM: Still, thanks!

If you have trouble just get EV Edit, you will need a graphics program or graphics from other people to make the ships to. (Unless you don't want them to have graphics)

DON'T get EV-Edit. It may look like a gem in the beginning, but it's so full of bugs, the next thing you know you've just corrupted your entire new mod/scenario. Few haven't suffered from the same fate.

Res-Edit is the true diamond in the rough. Together with the Res-Edit template and EV-bible of course.

Other neat tools are the "EV developer's Map" and other works by Pontus Ilbring...

Here's something funny: System 7.5.2

What exactly is it that you want to make, or need help making? Just making a shďp resource is easy; if you're lacking sprites for your new ship, you can find tons of them (url="http://"http://www.evula.com/shipyard/")here.(/url)

Anyway, topics like this deserve to be on the Developer's Board, not here, so iMove.

I second that. EV-Edit is notorious for corrupting/destroying plug-ins.
