Realm of Prey

I downloaded Realm of Prey and put it in the plugin folder, but it doesn't work. ANybody got any ideas to make it work?

Also, EVula-

I'm not Nebula Roamer or Rebel Manta. Nebula Roamer said that we were friends, but we're actually siblings. That explains the IP.
Also, about the time slots: We get on our computers about the same time.
I hope that clears things up.
If you see closely, I think it would be obvious that we're different people too.

Did you put the RoP folder itself in the Plugins folder, or just the necessary data files? It won't work if you put the RoP folder in. Just put in the files Realm of Prey, ROP Graphics, and ROP_Graphics2. It should work then.

Tried that, but still it doesn't work. I do have some experience with plugins, so I know which files to put in. 😉

Well, that certainly explains it. Don't take it personally if I'm not completely sold on the idea, but it certainly is plausible. However, if you're siblings, what about Rebel Manta?

As for looking closely, I did look closely, it's just that the behavior is similar to another multi-personality spammer on one of the boards (I think it was on one of the Just boards), which is how I arrived at my conclusion.

Anyway, my locks on the topics still stand, as they were completely independent of you talking to "yourself", but I'll keep this in mind in the future. Thanks for clearing it up.

Are you using Escape Velocity 1.0.5? If your computer is freezing up during loading your best bet is to increase the EV application's memory by as much as possible. I've always used 30Mb of RAM (VM activated) on my 68k and have never had a problem loading a plug-in. Also, make sure the EV Tuner is in the plugs folder in addition to the three main parts of the plug which esw-dragoon mentioned in his post. If it still doesn't work, there could be a conflict or bug in your computer as so far no such trouble has been reported.

Sorry I cannot be of more specific help.

I first listed 'No EV Tuner' as one of my solutions, but I took it out of my folder and it still worked fine. I think you have the best solution, Tim. A plug as big as RoP would require a gob more memory than the standard game would. I have a lucratively unnecessary amount of memory allocated to EV (110MB 😄 ), so I always forget that some people don't have as much memory as I do, and therefore leave "out of memory" off any troubleshooting lists.

EVula,
Actually, I don't really talk like that much. 🙂 I just sometimes do. Please don't lock this topic.

Rebel Manta is my little sister. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Oh, and I tried everything, including increasing the memory partition drastically. Nothing works. Could it be that it only works on certain versions of Mac?

When you downloaded the plugin did you unstuff it using Stuffit 7.0? If so that is your problem, you need to update to 7.0.1 or downgrade to a version of 6.5.x otherwise it won't work.

This is a problem that is extremely common on the Nova board.

Trugati-
And what's wrong with being your sis? 😄 🙂 😄 :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Are you going to get the plugin now that you know how to get it?

Thanks Jericon! I tried it and it worked!!!!

Now I'm having a lot of fun... I hope I get more credits soon.

I'm having problem with Fringe Beliefs Missions. I went to Port Draco, and where am I supposed to go next? I have EV-Edit.

Hey, Trugati, you said you were looking for a way to get summore credits. Well, I'm not sure how many routes there are that are like this but a little while ago, (Actually in under an hour ago) I was playing RoP which I haven't been able to do for a while because I've been busy.
Well, an hour flew by and I discovered this nifty little trade route which, in a shuttle, can make you 500,000 - 3,500,000 credits a turn and the two spots to trade between are one jump away. If you want to know about it just ask here but I'm not going to say because that would involve looking up system names and planet names and I'm too tried to, plus RoP takes forever to load on an emulator.
If you need to know now, here's what I can remember about it:
I was in a shuttle with 50 tons of cargo space although anything will do as long as you've got about 50,000 credits in your pocket. Now go to Luna (Sol system) and hire six bulk freighters there. Head to the system one jump east of Sol and hit either 1 or F1 depending on which you use to specify planets to land on. Anyways, land on that planet (New Go---- or something) and buy as many "Equipment" commodities as possible. Head back to Luna and sell 'em all.
This normally makes 500,000 a run but oftentimes (I've found about half the time) Luna has this thing that happens which raises the price of equipment from 400,000 to 1,300 which gives you about 3,000,000 a run.
Note: This requires a bunch of clicking and may take from 1 - 6 times to do each run depending on how much you click and whether you're attacked or not, although I was only attacked once.

:chuckles. Before you had said that, you should've done the Search Feature, for your comment was an age ago exposed. Phantompenguin

------------------

Was it now? Well, I feel pretty stupid. Remember, I'm just a kid, I don't bother with such things as "Search Features." Pah! Tries and glares menacingly at kauthor but fails as kauthor is taller than him.*

hey, pp how old are you anyway?

I'm only eleven, which is probably why I'm such an idiot.
By the way, does anyone know if it's possible to become a double-agent in RoP? I just got the Earth Confederacy Intro Mission (Yeah, I just started playing for real, and the missions are really well written) and I don't want to complete it until I know for sure.
Edit: AHEM! Points to previous post*
