Addon Help

Ok, I know everybody is going to hate me for posting this, but, how do I make an addon? I don't even know were to start.

Well, first you need Res-Edit, the EV Bible, and a decent understanding of the game. The first two can be found on the addons section, but you have to get the last one for yourself. Additional help can be found on the Developer's board.

This post may get you some flames here, I would move it to the dev board...

Like he said, all you need is resedit and the ev bible. Whatever you do, resist the temptation (and the temptation will be great) to use easier programs like EVedit, shipwrite, etc. They are easier, but screw everything up in the long run. Stick to resedit and, if you want, Shmelta-V. Also, you will want EV Formula Calc. That will help with math.

For beginners I suggest the ResEdit EV Beginners Guide (that may not be the exact name, but it is something to that affect. You can find it on the addons page as well.)

Hope this helps.

You can't just lunge into ResEdit. Start with some simple stuff (Schmelta-V, EVO Developer's Map) and work your way up.

Just don't give up on it. Good luck!

Now would a kind mod move this to the Dev board? 🙂

However, any further questions about ResEdit, EV/feind, should be directed to the (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/cgi-bin/ubb/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&number;=9&SUBMIT;=Go")Dev Board.(/url)
