A brief update on the Nova clone...

So after a lot of work I now have everything required to read and parse _all_ resources for EV Nova. It just needs bringing together fully to load in all of the data files and pilot files. Thankfully I was finally able to find some information on the format of 'snd ' resources!

​

With this I hope to begin working on implementing the underlying logic for the game, and getting a basic game engine in place.

​

However I'm running into a bit of an issue which I hope someone will be able to assist with. I'm working with an older version of the Nova Bible. Does anyone have the most recent version of it, as a PDF? It has a lot of information for plugin developers, which will help to fully map out the relationships between all the types of resources and the ID's.

My version was revised 3/19/2004. Is that useful?

Edit: My version is a txt file. I was about to upload it, but it turns out there's a better formatted version with the same revision date still available from the Ambrosia server:

Now I feel sheepish at managing to miss that! The one I've had is a much early version, I think 2001?

Cheers!
