Ambrosia Software Web Board: New ambitouse Ares Plug-In - Ambrosia Software Web Board

Hi,
I am looking for someone who has had prevoius experience writing Ares plug-ins. Particulerly, good, well edited, much time needed to make plugs.
I am having a bit of trouble myself, and i just need someone who can program, and some else who is good with graphics. I myself have no art programs so i cant do it myself, but i have ship desighns, plot, and story lines. Please reply!

thanx
Barbrossa

you can reply here, or send me an E-mail at mpg51@gis.net

1. No time.
2. I am having some technical problems.
3. No graphic editor.

While it's reasonably possible you might find someone to do your graphics for you, it's highly unlikely you'll find anyone to code your entire plug for you. It's not like EV, where conception and implementation are two different things; in Ares, it would be fairly torturous for someone who didn't understand coding to give instructions to a programmer without giving them a lot of creative license. So much that it's pretty much their plugin.

Anyway, though it isn't Nova, you might try [url="http://"http://www.ev-nova.net/news/classifieds.html"]here[/url] for your artist.

The only way to learn how to use Hera is to use it! Although it is not a particularly user friendly software tool practice will perfect..., and lots of back up files!
And as for spelling, I use a spell check in my plugs...
(Hmm, perhaps Hera should incorporate a spell checker...)


------------------
Oh, so it is another bug hunt then...

Ya, that site you gave me really helped, i do no a bit about ares plugs, such as what can and can't be done, their could be someone out there that likes programming, it'll just take some time to find them, any way thanx for the advice

Hera is a ridiculously easy-to-use tool. There is absolutely nothing separating someone over the age of 8 from creating a good plugin with it( except perhaps for the all-too-common doom of spelling and grammar )

Seriously, just fire up hera_reference.html in the Hera Documentation folder( Ares:Hera ocumentation: I believe and do both the tutorials. You'll be set to code in no time. If you need more tips just drop em at the Engineering Board and we'll(we may be an overstatement of the people remaining ) help ya out.

lala i need a sig...maybe i should put random snippets of code from my "undisclosed project" down here

Ridiculously easy in some cases... ridiculously hard in other cases.

So what do you meen to say?



------------------

I would recommend making it in EVN since it will draw a bigger audience, if respect is your thing. However art form can be easily attained in Ares too.
