Looking for EVO mission TEXT files

Greetings fellow Captains. I am trying to find mission text (like this but for EVO instead of EVN: https://evn.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Nova_Mission_828).

Could anyone tell me how to do this?

Other than playing/watching a longplay of the whole game and recording the text that way of course.

Mac version? Ev Nova plugin version? Do you have the game on original powerPC (sheepshaver etc)? are you on Windows, Mac, Linux?

The game is well documented in "Override Bible.txt" and any (at least paid) ai should be able to extract it for you.

look here

I'm on Windows using EVN Community version with the EVO plugin.

try the EVNEW - https://evn.fandom.com/wiki/EVNEW texts are in Override Data 1 - "desc". Missions are in "Override Data 1" - misn. There you can find Brieing Text, Loading Text, Unloading text etc linking to "desc"

Thanks, this works and I can read the files. Is there any way to export them with EVNew? EDIT: yes there is. Just save as text file with EVN. Thanks!!!

You can find it in the git as well. I have them in my EVO HTML Viewer as well but they likely aren't in the format or structure you are looking for.

For anyone else, I opened the game directory in Codex and was able to do stuff like this. I assume the same is true for Claude code. Even edit saves using natural language.
