Noob question -- If I want to make a plug-in compatible with the stock EVN galaxy, do I have to open up all the data files every time I want to add a new resource or set a new NCB in the plug-in, or is there a comprehensive list of all the resource ID's and NCB numbers used by EVN so that I know I'm not overwriting a stock mission/ship/government? I'm messing around with the latest Mission Computer, getting delusions of grandeur.
I think there are guides on the Add-ons page. In case no one has ever made one, you could also just print the ressources from the stock files on paper (or into a pdf or something) and voila, there you are.
This question might have been asked before (I can't remember) but here is some stuff that I hope will help.
Unused bits in Nova 1.0.9 and 1.0.A: 91-95, 97-122, 150-151, 171-174, 176-177, 238-249, 251-274, 328-329, 336-339, 342-346, 378-414, 416, 418-421, 447-449, 451-466, 468-499, 501, 504-508, 514, 520-599, 614-649, 654-665, 668-676, 678-680, 682-748, 754-799, 820-837, 839-849, 853-994, 996-999, 1001-1099, 1101-1299, 1310-1499, 1503-2999, 3008, 3010-3014, 3016-3024, 3026-3049, 3051-3720, 3722-3788, 3790-3999, 4001-4321, 4323-4443, 4445-5756, 5766-5769, 5771-5998, 6035-6099, 6107-6136, 6138-6199, 6207-6299, 6303-6665, 6667-6722, 6725-7776, 7789-7877, 7881-8337, 8341-8443, 8445-8887, 8912-9010, 9016-9110, 9112-9199, 9209-9214, 9217-9332, 9335-9499, 9502-9665, 9668-9811, 9813-9994, 9996-9997 Bit 1: General outfit-blocking bit (i.e. the one which prevents players from purchasing most of the outfits while flying a Vell-os ship. Or, for that matter, a Wraith or Hyperioid.) Bit 5: The "I'm flying a Leviathan" bit - allows missions only available to Leviathans Bit 6: The "I'm flying a Pegasus" bit - ditto, albeit with a Pegasus. Bit 7: The "I'm flying a Star Liner" bit Bit 17: No idea - one of the Valk variants sets it, but it seems to have no effect. Bit 31: The "I'm flying a Valk" bit - makes the Rebel and Pirate Valk upgrades available Bit 32: The "I'm flying a Starbridge" bit - makes the Chrome Valk and Rebel and Pirate Starbridge upgrades available Bit 33: The Heavy Weapons License bit Bit 34: The Missile Weapons License bit Bit 35: The Fighter Bay License bit Bit 36: The Protective Technologies License bit Bit 37: An Exotic Ships and Weapons License bit, but doesn't actually seem to do anything Bit 38: As above Bit 39: The Capital Ships License bit Bit 40: The Capital Warships License bit Bit 41: An Exotic Ships and Weapons License bit (allows Ion Cannon and Polaron Cannon) Bit 42: The Illegal Weapons bit - gets set when you buy an illegal weapon, but it seems to have no effect.
And for anything else here is a link to The Nova Resource Guide (from the link in Guy's sig) http://nevermore.uri...rceidguide.html (tip: Nova doesn't use govt ID's over 195 or ship ID's over 414)

The EVN Bits Bible is all you need bitwise, and NovaReferencePlus covers all the rest. Seriously, I used those for ARPIA2, and they are great tools.
As of 1.0.9, which is when I last updated these, the following were the unused ranges for NCBs and the various resource types. I don't think there were any changes between 1.0.9 and 1.0.A.
Unused bits in Nova 1.0.9:
91-95, 97-122, 150-151, 171-174, 176-177, 238-249, 251-274, 328-329, 336-339, 342-346, 378-414, 416, 418-421, 447-449, 451-466, 468-499, 501, 504-508, 514, 520-599, 614-649, 654-665, 668-676, 678-680, 682-748, 754-799, 820-837, 839-849, 853-994, 996-999, 1001-1099, 1101-1299, 1310-1499, 1503-2999, 3008, 3010-3014, 3016-3024, 3026-3049, 3051-3720, 3722-3788, 3790-3999, 4001-4321, 4323-4443, 4445-5756, 5766-5769, 5771-5998, 6035-6099, 6107-6136, 6138-6199, 6207-6299, 6303-6665, 6667-6722, 6725-7776, 7789-7877, 7881-8337, 8341-8443, 8445-8887, 8912-9010, 9016-9110, 9112-9199, 9209-9214, 9217-9332, 9335-9499, 9502-9665, 9668-9811, 9813-9994, 9996-9997
