new ships

i want to encorporate a new line of ships into the game EvNova

ships would be based on ssc corvette from plugpack v18, but i know nothing about nova interface, graphics, code, or pretty much anything.

First of all:
All the Important Links You'll Ever Need
List of great tutorials for all sorts of stuff. There's graphics, modding, and all sorts of stuff. Look around.

Next, you need a program. I suggest MissionComputer. Get it here. Download This is a Mac program, won't work on a PC.
Next, get the EVN Bible. Download
Now, download some plugs, look around. Figure out how stuff works. Make small changes. See what happens. Now go and make a plug. Not your main one, just think of something, and try to do it. Ask for help. Once you get a good handle on how to do everything, then go and make your Corvette. Welcome to the boards, mate!

You are much firmer than I am. You also speak his language, which seems to help.

ty to all, but links don't work

Oh, wait, the first one was backwards. Huh. Fixed.

He's referring to his AOL dialect of english, unlike the PGG (pretty good grammar) practiced by most board members here.

oryhara, please take an extra few seconds to fix up the english in your posts. It makes it a ####load easier for the rest of us to understand, and by extension, help you.

It still wasn't fixed, so here: All the Important Links You'll Ever Need

Okay, no idea what was going on. Thanks, Nonconventionally Creative.

He doesn't need board help anymore, right?

Thank you for all your grammar input. I am about to check the new-new links. Manticore; I went to bed.

Huh? :huh:

As to giving you help, I just realized how hard it would be to do a step by step guideline about the creation of a ship...

I've seen one. It was hard to follow, as I know nothing about how to implement any of the resources. You could just make one and print the screen at every step. (I know how hard that would be.) Thank you. :unsure: :blink:

NEW DEVELOPMENT! (no pun intended) I replaced the shuttle with new specs. but same picture. I can not buy anything! HELP ME FIGURE OUT MY PROBLEM. Also, my acceleration is limited to the original ship's. Made in evnew.

Set the contribute bit that is set on all ships except the Vell-os ones.
