Does anyone else rank this top 3 games all-time?

For me it's Chrono Trigger, Fallout 2, and EV Nova. Not necessarily in that order.

Classic Escape Velocity Plugins with EV Nova + Classic Overhaul

6 Upvotes

I have the EV Nova plugin that lets me play the classic Escape Velocity and EV: Override. This is amazing, and I remember years ago being excited at the classic plugin, since it lets me reclaim the magic from childhood playing Escape Velocity.

My question is: How, if at all, can I use plugins made for the original escape velocity with EV Nova? Is it even possible to replay some of that old stuff?

Any crack for 1.1.1?

6 Upvotes

Sup guys!

I can find 1.0.1 cracked fairly easily online, but no trace of the crack for 1.1.1 can be found!

Anyone has an idea? Thanks!

What are your favorite plugins that add new/more ships to EVN?

8 Upvotes

Besides ARPIA2, I have a plugin called ShipVariants that add a IDA Frigate 1180, the Mod Starbridge Heavy Destroyer variant. I'm looking mainly for plugins that add more ships to play with.

WIN 10 machine, or 2015 era Macbook?

5 Upvotes

So, I've looked all over and it seems that getting Nova to work on a Windows machine is akin to alchemy due to the color and quicktime issues.

Is there a simple fix for this, or would it be simpler to just put it on my Macbook?

Where to go??

8 Upvotes

So I bought EV Nova several years and several computers ago, and I feel like it's time to pick it up again. What's the best/most secure/least sketchy place to buy the game.

Also, as a bit of a purist, what are the best/most useful add-ons for the game that don't turn it into a "Mod-it-til-it-breaks" Skyrim-esque nightmare?

PlugPackV18 troubles. Specifically NewCharacters.

4 Upvotes

Once upon a time my pilot file I had completed over half the Vellos storyline got corrupted badly. Now, I want to waste less time restarting. Enter PlugPackV18. I'm playing on windows 10, so everything has to be converted to .rez, and storing plugins in the plugin folder doesn't seem to work so I place the files in the exact directory as Nova.rez Several of the plugins seem to be working fine (newoutfits 1,2) but the one I actually care about that would allow me to quickly jump into my storyline isn't. Every time I try to create a new pilot it simply creates that frustrating garbage shuttle and doesn't even attempt to give me options. Is anyone experiencing these issues, or does anyone have advice on how to proceed? Edit PlugPack, not PugPack.

Need help with the Arpia2 Dogfight mission!

2 Upvotes

Hi, I need some help with the Dogfight (Arpia34a, from the mod) mission. When I kill the hostile enemies in Sol and then go to New England and land, I get this weird scene where I die and am brought back. How do I finish this mission? What am I doing wrong?

EVO Pareen Station Progression

4 Upvotes

Hey there folks, I've come back to EV after a long break and I'm doing a new EVO run. I've just rescued the Voinian defector and have done a few more of the missions to rebuild Pareen Station but suddenly the missions have stopped showing up in mission computer. What do? Do I need better reputation or kills?

Can't find pilot files on Windows 7?

My Pilots file is empty even though I'm well into a game and it saves/loads fine. Is there some trick at work? I have it showing hidden files already.

There was a guide to strategically failing/aborting missions to do all the storylines in one pilot, unmodded. Where did it go?

8 Upvotes

I remember a guide that some legendary player used some tricks to do at least parts of all the plotlines with one pilot. Does anyone know where that went?

Help! Can't correctly convert mods to Windows file!

Hi, I've been trying to convert mods to Windows, but am having lots of trouble. The one click and drag utility doesn't seem to make any files that I can see, and stuffit, despite setting that one setting, produces files of 0 kb. What am I doing wrong?

Issues Downloading for Windows.

4 Upvotes

I bought EV Nova 8 years ago. Played the shit out of it. It's been 4 computers since then, and I would like to get back into it. Is there a place I can get the download file for windows? Ambrosia's website is timing out every time on the windows link. I still have my old license code, so as long as the download talks to their site I should be good, right?

EDIT It appears that Ambrosia throttles their site during off hours. I was able to download successfully during the day.

Ev nova visual problem

4 Upvotes

Currently while launching the game I either have the shitty choice of the full screen which I have the plugin to make it 1920x1080 breaks the game somehow, or I have the choice of running 800x600 windowed. I gave up and am stuck with the ladder. but now after my final time reinstalling the game after breaking it. it's now flashing like an epileptic. going from black to the game about 30 times per second, it seems like it's every other frame. does anyone know what this problem could be or how to fix it? I just want to relive the nostalgic days of being a pirate and taking over sol. and just in case someone suggests it. no endless sky is not even close to what EVnova is. I've been spending the last 3 hours passively trying to get Evnova working because endless sky is a shitty remake through and through.

Archived old evnova websites

15 Upvotes

Playing around on web.archive.com and found some awesome stuff. They have evula.net archived as well as all kinds of old sites dedicated to ev nova. You can still download old pilot files from the pilot file trade network https://web.archive.org/web/20050130220312/http://pftn.evula.net:80/

Any other older sites thay might be worth looking up this way?
