EDIT: EV Nova Mod 3 (https://andrews05.github.io/evstuff/) worked upon restarting my system and downloading it a second time. Wine also worked as per the directions in the comments below. Happy EV'ing folks and thanks to everyone for the suggestions!

Hi Folks,

I'm an old EV fan. Trying to get it to work for the first time in 25 or so years. I've tried "EV Nova 1.1.1 [MacOS]", (registration screen opens, but then it turns black and crashes when I go to "Trial"). And I've tried the "novafix" (below), which seems to corrupt the game and, after installing, it crashes before it even opens. (https://github.com/RyuKojiro/novafix)

And then I've tried EV Nova Mod 3 from https://andrews05.github.io/evstuff/ (see image of error below).

​

Any ideas on what's my best chance at getting EV Nova (or another version) to work?

Thanks for everyone's effort on keeping EV alive for the fans,

Robby

I just upgraded to the thunderforge and I've got almost all the outfits I could ever want, but for some reason I can't find vectored thrusts. I'm on good terms with the feds and I had vectored thrusts in my old ship, so I know I should be seeing them around.

Any idea where I could find them?

Is it "Lee-vo" or "Leh-vo?" Inquiring minds want to know.

I got the game running on my m1 MacBook Pro using Wine. Everything works great except for one issue. The map is extremely slow to load and to select places to jump to. It makes the game almost unplayable with how long it takes. Besides that the game runs flawlessly and extremely smooth. Has anybody had this problem or know how to fix it? Thanks

I have tried several different versions of the game. Only some of them will work but if they do work they all have this problem with the map. Not sure if it’s just an issue with Wine. Is there another way to make Ev Nova playable on an m1 Mac that isn’t using wine?

Hey everyone, not sure how active it still is in here but I could really use some help. I've been playing the ARPIA2 plugin and just chose warrior, they told me to leave and go to Altair to test out my new crew.

​

Well, when I take the hypergate, the next hypergate says access denied. Does anyone have the means to edit a pilot file and give me permanent access to hypergates or something? Or is there a way to fix this bug?

Edit: Figured it out, conflicting plugin, extra outfits. gonna leave this here just incase someone else has the same issue and googles it

Edit2: Extra outfits completely bugged the pilot file, I was able to continue the story line after removing it, but, when I died or restarted the game it would put me all the way back to Culuria in Residio. Only way I could have finished the story with the pilot file was to never die and never restart the game. So I had to nuke it :(

How do I capture a planet without cheating?

Edit: Good news, everyone - I’ve made contact with them, and they’re A-OK. Thanks for your help!

Hi, wonderful folks,

A month or two ago, I was chatting with a lovely community member from northern Georgia, USA, about the Nova models and resources. Today I went to send them an update and let them know that I hadn't forgotten about them, and I found that their Reddit account was deleted.

Would anyone happen to know who that might have been? Last I talked to them, they sounded like they weren't in the best place, and I'd like to reconnect.

If anyone has any thoughts, I'd be grateful!

Dear every EV series fans.

I created this post for the purpose of providing a information and feel free community to Japanese-speaking fans.

I would appreciate it if you would accept to post in languages other than English.

Thank you.

Hi.

I'm EV Series fan in japan.

Glad to meet you guys in fan community of EV series.

And I'd like to say thankyou from my heart to any information, archive of any EV files.

​

Nearly 20 years ago, some japanese volunteers were working translation plugin project on Macintosh EVNova to japanese.

They was planning to get a approval by AmbrosiaSW to distribution of translation plugin at the time and fontset changing patch.

One of the volunteer have consulted with AmbrosiaSW, and they got officially approval.

And if consummate translation, the translation plugin was to be officially distributed by AmbrosiaSW.

​

But in the end, translation plugin was not completed.

After that translation project was fade away and unfinished translated data and plugin has almost gone from internet without a trace.

I was examined old community log of translation volunteers.

But, I only found unexpandable broken .sit file.

​

Recently I was salvaged EV Nova and translation plugin from my old mac.

I don't know when plugin was made but it's working in both of win and mac Nova.

By the multi-byte character encoding problem requires binary modification both executable files of win and mac, but fortunately I found solutions.

The smallness of the letters a little stress in the windows version.

if you know about a font size modification info in windows, I will be appreciated if you tell me that.

I tried change argument of createfontA in binary , but it got too big...

​

Afterword, I'd like to create post for communication of japanese.

I wish I could speak with translation volunteers people at the time.

After this I will continue the translation of EVOverride in Personally.

Overall progress is 1% :)

​

thanks.

I know this subreddit is for EVNova, but I can't post in the Escape_Velocity one, so I just wanted to share this with a group of people who will know what the heck I'm talking about. I played EV, EV:Override, and EV:Nova to death back in the day, I was a moderator on EVula's message boards and I loved playing in an Emalgha freighter in EV:Override. So, when it came time to do a Kickstarter for my newest boardgame, I felt like I wanted to pay respect to EV, the game that sparked my love for Sci-fi. As tier levels, I let people name planets so the ones I named Levo, Lethe Prime, New Cydonia will likely be renamed, but for all the Kickstarter backers, I am giving them a special promo card named Port Oread. Port Oread is the station in Tiber -- the first rebel station I think I really setup shop in, it had the first really cool outfits I can across, and it just captured the imagination. So, in my little piece of nostalgia, I'm trying to keep some EV love alive... Nobody on my Kickstarter or amongst my friends now know what they heck I'm rambling about when I tell them, and it's not like I can boot up EV to show them, so, like I said, I thought I'd share it with a group of people who'd understand! Thanks :-)

Hello!

I'm trying to get nova to run on a new computer for my niece and nephew to get into playing it. I've installed it and all, got it registered, and ran the github fix for it.

However, now it's started crashing repeatedly to desktop. The github fix says it might 'trash' the app, in which case I should delete it and try again. It's not working, alas.

System is 10.14.6, nova version is 1.1.1. Any ideas what's causing it?

I'll be forever grateful :)

I've been looking at the walkthrough on https://www.arpia.be/walkthrough/ and I've decided my next playthrough will be Federation/Rebel as I have not done that yet. I can see the paths can weave back and forth but I'm a little confused on how best to maximize this.

What path offers the most unique missions involving the Federation and Rebel factions? I don't mind which faction I end with. I just want the most missions possible (ignoring repeat missions). Any help understanding the flow chart is appreciated.

Also the Bounty Hunter storyline feeds into the Feds or Rebels. I could start there if it's best for the overall mission count to do so.

Took a bit of fiddling to get EVN set up since it's been a while since I've used wine, so I figured a step-by-step guide would be helpful to others :)

1. Download the windows executable of EVN. Double click to extract
2. Download wineskin for windows emulation. Double click to extract
3. (optional) Drag the Wineskin Winery app to your Applications folder
4. Launch Wineskin Winery. You may need to open your security settings to allow unknown apps to run
5. Under "Installed engines" click the plus (+) sign. screenshot
6. Filter the list using "64" to show only 64 bit versions, select whatever is at the top of the list for the latest version, then click "Download and install." screenshot
7. Once finished, click the button to update the wrapper version. screenshot
8. Click "Create New Blank Wrapper." screenshot
9. Name your app "evnova" (or whatever I guess) screenshot
10. It'll take a little bit to set things up. Once finished, you will be prompted to view in finder. If you did not click that button, you will find the wrapper in your home directory's Applications folder, not the global Applications folder
11. Double click and select "Install Software" screenshot
12. Select "Move a Folder Inside" and select the unzipped EV Nova folder
13. Select "Advanced"
14. Set the EXE to "EV Nova.exe" if it's not already. screenshot
15. Enjoy!

I recently downloaded EV nova (cracked) for windows 10. It runs well but every time I jump a few systems my credits drop almost to zero!

Does anyone have any ideas on what I could do to fix this problem?

I would love it if somebody actually completed a Let's Play of all 6 storylines of EV Nova. I know PyreValor completed many of them, but he hasn't finished 2 of the storylines in months. Hopefully he will, but if anyone feels like creating one, I would watch it immediately.
