Frequently Asked Questions

I want to write my own missions and create my own galaxies; is this possible?

Last Updated Sep 19, 2005

Editors for EV Override have been created that allow for the creation of third party universes, missions, ships, weapons, and planets. In fact, a whole new story line can be created for EV Override to provide players with more to explore.

Ambrosia Tech Support can’t answer how to questions on plug in making, but here are a few resources. First go to

http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/Ambrosia_Times/November_96/3.6HowTo.html
http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/Ambrosia_Times/May_97/4.3HowTo.html
http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/Ambrosia_Times/July_97/4.4HowTo.html

to read some articles written by my predecessor here at Ambrosia on how to create your own EV/O plug ins.

Then go to http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/games/evo/addons.html

and check out the utilities for making EVO plug ins. There are ResEdit and Resourcerer Templates, guides to resource indexing and complete plug in scenario editors.
 
Finally, the EV Developer's Corner is an excellent resource for plug in developers. It's a web board where plug in developers can post questions, hints and announcements. It's even searchable, so you can check if your question has already been asked, and maybe even answered!  Go to http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/news/webboard/

It's not a plug and play kind of thing, but it is much fun once you get the hang of it!
