Question

Is there any known way to convert a EVO Plug to Nova?

I hear Port Authority is (finally) coming out soon, allowing one to easily convert from EVC/EVO to EVN. Otherwise, I'd try EVONE; I doubt there are any other options besides manually converting resources and such.

I don't think so.

Is it really coming out soon or was that just a rumour?

I wonder...what happens when you put an EVC or EVO plug-in in the EVN plug-ins folder?

On a side note, has anyone else tried making a 1024 x 768 status bar? It's very cool. 🙂

Technically, the engine attempts to read the data in the resource, and doesn't find enough, and doesn't understand most of the time (I don't need to tell you that mission bits and such won't work at all, being another format entirely). As for a converter from EV(O) to Nova plugs, It'e developpment stuff, not something able to dig up an EVO plug from the add-ons page, and output you something that will always work flawlessly on the ports.

There are things money can't buy or that are free, for everything else, there's indeed Mastercard.

Actually, I've played with these ideas several times, putting EVC/O plugs in the Nova Plugins Folder. Most things work alright, but the main thing that doesn't work are the syst resources. The changes between EVC/O and Nova have made it so that the data is still there but in the wrong places.

For instance, the number of asteroids is moved into the spobs part of the syst resource, making it so it places a seemingly random spob in the system. I heard a while ago about someone making a small utility that would convert just the syst resources, but I don't know what it was, or where it went.

Why, what happens, the game is on top of it or something?

There isn't a mask for the status bar, is there? It takes up the entire space? If not, that could be very cool.

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

Somehow, I fail to see how a status bar that takes up the entire screen (blocking your view of the actual game area) is cool. A status bar that went along the bottom of the screen would be cool but I don't think that's possible without a mask.
