Get ResEdit from the EV/O addons and just copy and paste between them.

I can't seem to find the place to add my own credits to my plugins. The hera docs say that it is located in TEXT ID 6500 but I can't find it. I have looked through every item in the long text editor in hera and even looked for it using res edit in my plugin files. It seems not to be anywhere.

Just wondering... Do weapon objects like a missile launcher take up a place in the maximum number of ships if so, does that mean that you will hit max things earlier if you have more ships that have more weapons on them? And what is the maximum number of things that can exist at any given time?
(edit)On more thing, what program is used to take in-game screen shots of Ares? I don't think Snapz Pro X will work.(/edit) ------------------ EVN started out as a plugin too...

1. No. The max number of objects is 256. This includes: Planets, Orbital Bases, Ships and Shots. 2. To take screenshots, depending on whether you're in X or 7/8/9: MacOS Classic: 1. Use the built-in screencapture tool(Command-Shift-3) 2. Use Snapz Pro 1/2. 3. Use another 3rd-party tool. MacOS X: 1. Use Grab(X's built-in screencapture utility) 2. Use Snapz Pro X. 3. Use another screencapture tool that's native to X.
Thanks

Gots a question for Slug: on your add-on file called 'Strata Exports', I con't open the files unless I have StrataVision. Where do I get it, and (although I hate to bring this into it) how much does it cost?

Well, StrataVision is no longer available (unless you have the Nov '98 issue of MacAddict CD), but you can get Strata 3D from: (url="http://"http://www.strata.com")strata.com(/url)

Is there a way to make a laser shoot in a diffrent direction than forwards? I don't mean a turret i mean a laser that always shoots at an angle, having lasers shoot off like / or straight back?
I was working on a plug with 14 missions. I linked them all, and set a timer so that i could go all the way through with out having to do combat. However at mission 10 ares would quit. I don't know why, I didn't overload it with too many ships or sprites.

Not sure about the lasers... I'll check when I have a chance.
As for the quiting... It's hard to say without seeing exactaly what you did in you file but you might want to dubble check all of your conditions and make sure you didn't type something in wrong.
