I have a good idea for a plugin, but don't know what to do. Please Help Me
------------------
Well, it depends. If you are currently just planning the plugin, then make a few sketches of ships, write some missions, create a good storyline etc., and that will get the foundation done (and it can take awhile). Then after that's all behind you, start out with some graphics here and there, from 3D ships to use in the plugin to landing picts. Make a nice universe in which the player can travel throughout...And that's all put in short.
If you are seriously considering making a plugin, go with Apple's infamous program editor, ResEdit. It can do just about anything, and will do anything when it comes to plugin development. While you're at it, download Matt Burch's EV Bible, which you can find on the downloads page (along with ResEdit). With the EV Bible, creating a plugin can be a piece of cake within a few days.
Well, that's the story in short. Please feel free to throw some questions down, and hope this helps.

Speaking of low karma... Anyhow, this relates to Escape Velocity, so it isn't exactly under the wrong category...
How do you work res-edit?
------------------ My very first EVO Chronichle called "The UE's Dread" Followed by the "U.E.S. Inconvertrable" Then "What Happened to Huron" finally "Ontario the Azdara" What do you think?

Work ResEdit? Can you be more specific? If you want to learn how to actually use ResEdit to edit or create plugins, I would suggest downloading the EV Bible, available at the downloads page.
Or, if you're a beginner, get the Res-Edit Beginner's Guide from (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/cgi-bin/vftp/show.pl?product=ev&category;=utilities&display;=date&page;=1")here(/url). The EV bible is pretty darn useful, but for beginners, I would definitely suggest the Res-Edit Beginner's Guide.
