I'm writing a tc and i'm on a windows pc. the problem is i set it up to try it in nova but when nova loads it crashes when the loading bar reaches the top and it is supposed to show the title screen. here's the link to my plug: (url="http://"http://www.angelfire.com/dragon2/jscott/DarkSpace.rez")http://www.angelfire...t/DarkSpace.rez(/url) also if anyone wanted to work on this with me i need help with graphics (including rled/rle8 recources for ships) and storyline ideas. thanks

I'm getting a 'page not found' type error on that link.

fixed the link
On a quick glance, I would recommend that you download the AbsoluteMinimum plug from the Add-ons page. It gives you the resources Nova needs to at least load properly. I'm sure by looking at what it does, you'll see what your plug is missing.

1. Zip it before you post it - browsers sometimes misbehave with plain .rez 2. Does this replace all the nova data files? If so, theres your problem. See the discussion about Absolute Minimum here. You need things you wouldnt expect to. Also make a debuglog as described in the bible (last page or so) to help debuging Also on a PC you MUST MUST MUST keep nova.rez in your nova folder.

I have tried absolute minimum and my nova.rez is in the nova folder. I still cannot figuere out what is wrong.
Well, I know nothing about Windows problems, and I don't know anything about your story or I'd suggest something, but you might try looking to the shipyards for picts. Search for "Escape Velosity" and "Shipyard" or somthing, you'll come up with quite a few. Evula's site has one... Meowx (sp?)...

I think you need to manually go through and look for bad resources. Smetimes a bad Spin can do that,

So what does you TC have in it? I dare not test it till I know.

Well right now it has two systems one ship and one weapon and descs for them. it also has a desc in it thats not linked to anything that has a very outdated and obsolite storyline idea that im no longer using.
Post a debuglog. It's exactly like a pilotlog, except, well, called "debuglog"

In case you don't know how to do it:
Create a text called debuglog.txt in your base Nova folder.
Run Nova.
Quit and you should the log available.

is it a problem that those spobs dont exist in any system? i made them because i didn't want nova's stuff in the way. also i wanted to know the minimum amount of spobs and systs i would need to completely block out nova without using blanks like these.

Okay, you're loading with absoluteminimum, it means that, basically, without your plug there is nothing else than what is required for the game to launch. Nothing. You don't need these planets in your plug, they won't override the planets as there are none any longer, basically. Once those removed, you may want to pay attention to the warnings in the debuglog. Especially the inexistant düdes (well, it's written dŸde but it's how the PC is understanding the same letter than the Macs understand as ü).
