This little Mac OS X app can take one image and create a spin, or take several images and combine them into a spin. You cannot drag and drop yet, and it only supports JPEG files currently, but I plan to add more image types soon. You can check for updates at: http://evweb.aresaxis.us/

NovaTools: m2s, p2s, px2s, - convert PICT files, PICS files and Movies into PICT based sprites. This is part of the NovaTools collection from wOOtWare. Go to http://homepage.mac.com/dr_ralph/ for more information. Fixed the p2s icon and folder drag/drop in OS9 .

This is a file for all you new gods out there. You can drop this into an empty Nova Files folder and work on your TC in the Plugins folder. This'll mostly gaurantee that Nova loads, giving you a clean slate to work of off. -Artanis

Windows version of SpinApp. A small application that shows an open dialog that can take multiple images, or just one. Depending on the choice it will combine the images into a spin, or it will create a 6x6 spin from one image, then it will ask where to save the new spin. The new spin will be saved as a pict. Can extract mask from transparency and no longer screws up with transparency. Check for updates at: http://evweb.aresaxis.us/ Email: ajwweb@earthlink.net

EVN Mission Viewer is a utility for Escape Velocity: Nova plug-in developers. It allows convenient viewing and searching of mission information, and simulates mission strings for quick testing during development. Requires Mac OS X.

This is not so much a plugin as a utility I changed the color of the hypergate to red. When I was done I used what I thought was an open resource ID. Instead of leaving it at that, I decided I should include the original .res16 file so that who ever uses this can change the resource id to what ever they need. Stuffit9 used as well as Macbinary II+ 1.0.2 If you have questions my email is dont_x_streams@yahoo.com

This version of EVN Calc X fixes a problem with the mission calculator section, where it returned a value 1000 greater than what it should be. Well it is fixed. Note: This application may not work for users on pre Mac OS 10.2 systems. Any problems, comments, suggestions? Contact me at jnorth@brocktonpoint.com

LaSEr allows you to take rendered images of your ship and its masks, place them in two folders in the same one as LaSEr, and create the graphic, mask, and spïn for them. This makes it ready to convert with EnRLE by w00tware ( http://homepage.mac.com/dr_ralph/ ). The name comes from the LASIK option that also is allowed. Read the ReadMe for more detailed instructions. Version 102 adds "mask amplification," which enhances masks so sprites show up properly. NOTE: THE PREVIOUSLY POSTED (VERSION 101) DOWNLOAD NO LONGER WORKS!
