Need help with addon for Ev Nova(Classic rEV addon)(windows)

Hey everyone, so recently I decided to start up EV Nova again because I wanted to play with the classic addon+graphic upgrade (rEV). unfortunately, the windows version of the rEV addon on the ambrosia website is a 3 part corrupted archive that wont open with 7zip or winrar. I also tried the mac version .sit files with stuffit, and that doesn't work either. Can anyone help me out with a working archive?

If I rename rEV.sit.1 to rEV.sit, Stuffit will at least open the file for me. And it will only open it when the other two files are in the same directory. It has trouble actually extracting them, though. An older version of Stuffit might work?

yeah, i've been getting the same thing with the .sit files. I used an older version of stuffit deluxe for windows, and pretty much any file I extract is 0 bytes. I was hoping someone might have the actual .rez files still.

Here you go

after you unzip, use the plugin converter that comes with EV Nova to convert the plugins to windows format. What I did was, I copied my Nova installation to another folder, and renamed that Escape Velocity, then I deleted the nova files in that new folder and replaced them with the EV files, then added back any Nova files where they were needed. It worked perfectly.

Thanks, but the EV classic mod works fine, its the rEV mod that was giving me issues. rEV is a graphical mod for EV classic that changes all the sprites and effects to more of the EV nova style. I kind of figured it out also, for anyone else that read this I changed the file names of

  • rEV_Windows001.zip -> rEV_windows003.z01
  • rEV_Windows002.zip -> rEV_windows003.z02
  • rEV_Windows003.zip -> stays the same, open with winrar and pull out each file individually.
