Editing EV Nova with Res-Edit...

Hey, I just registerd EVN and was wondering how to edit it with Res-Edit. I downloaded WootWares tools but how do I put them in the Red-Edit program?

-Also, I know Im risking it, but how do you make plug ins?

Thanks in advance,

Copy the tools and paste them in the blank plug. (unless I've been doing it wrong all these years)

The second one would be best answered by doing a search on the Developers corner.

The process for installing Novatools is detailed in the Novatools readme. Note that all the dozen or so little accessory programs (EnRLE, DeRLE, Context, Resstore, and so on) are NOT integrated into resedit. They must be used seperately.
To make a plugin, you just make a new resedit document, make some resources of the types nova uses, change it's type and creator codes to Np&iumlf; and N&oumlv;ä respectively, and pop it into the plguisn folder. Resources in plugs with the same ID as one of the same type in the stock scenario will take precedence over the version in the datafiles.
Thus, if you want to "edit the datafiles" it is better to copy+paste what you want to edit into a new plugin (keeping the same RID), and edit it there - so that if something goes horribly wrong, you can just remove the plugin, instead of having to recover the datafile.
For info on the resources themselves, read the nova Bible in your documentation folder.

Thank you for your incredibly helpful insight.

It was already mentioned that this should go to the developer's corner, so I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish with this post.
Moderators generally don't like it when members say, "This topic will be locked" or "this topic will be moved". Try to avoid posting things like this in the future, and try instead to make useful posts with relevant input.

No, you don't copy and paste the resources into your plug-in. It's a waste of time. It requires one copy/paste.

Open ResEdit or ResEdit preferences (yes, ResEdit can open itself). Copy and paste the resources into ResEdit/ResEdit Preferences. Enjoy.
