Holy cow, I screwed up some of my pics!

Note to self: Do not try align="" tabs ever again, or at least get some help doing it

Once again I apologize for the lack of background and text color. Once I know how to implement backgrounds, you can bet that I'll use 'em.

You could improve the appearance of this br and add more writing, but it was more than enough to capture my imagination. I really enjoyed this . . . 8 :)

Yeah, now that I look back on it, it does seem quite bare. Not enough meat.

I'll see what I can do to fatten and spice part 2 up :)

And an eight! From Dagomar, the guy who made those wicked cool mechwarrior brs, no less! Wooo!

Huh? I tried putting the whole url but it wouldn't work, because it already had the www.battlereports.com tag in there, so all i added was my user/Kazebari/img1.jpg tag.

I can see the pics all right...no one else can?

I managed to procure a copy of EV:N without paying the registration costs *cough*. Too much blank space, although I believe it was meant for pics...

Seems like Mark4 edited my br...can anyone see the pics now?

I know I can't. Maybe my comp is messed up somehow. : All I can see is the title pic, but every other one is broken. Odd.

#18 Kazebari[145505]
24.225.141.176
If you can run Starcraft, you can play EV:N. But the actual minimum specs are:

Direct X 7
Quicktime 5.0
Pentium 400mhz or higher
64 Meg memory for Win95/98 and 128 meg memory for Windows 2000 or Windows








#19 Mark4[145508]
all fixed.
#20 Kazebari[145509]
24.225.141.176
Great! Thanks a bunch, Mark4!

sigh...I guess the background didn't work....

Can anyone tell me how to use a tiling image as a background for a br? I tried to do a space, starry type one from backgroundcity.com, (hence the silver font) but obviously it didn't work.

Oh well! At least the pics work :D

The shareware works, now I'm hoping I can find the game somewhere!
#28 [145528]
wc01.wlfdle.rnc.net.cable.rogers.com
Oh and I have no idea how to do anything, I just spent like 10 minutes drifiting about cause I didnt know how to move, then was forced to bribe two pirates before being blown to smithereens by a random valkyrie :[
#29 [145529]
wc01.wlfdle.rnc.net.cable.rogers.com
Woo, the second time around I managed to complete a mission, then just before I got to the completion of a second mission I stumbled into a battle and was blown to bits by a million angry fighters :(. I bought a heavy shuttle though and got a second blaster for it - didnt help me much. Just how far does this shareware go anyway?
#30 Kazebari[145531]
24.225.141.176
Heh, it goes on for a while. You can access all storylines, but each of them has an unregistered cutoff. You cannot capture ships, you cannot use plugins, and you cannot buy some ships.

Dag, I suggest taking Barry (the weathered old man) along for a ride. He's the tutorial guy who teaches you stuff.
#31 [145534]
wc01.wlfdle.rnc.net.cable.rogers.com
lolz I did that, though he's a bit annoying. Hm, I checked a couple stores for EV:N today and they hadnt even heard of it - any way I can get a registration code online?
#32 plus2longsword[145543]

okay Im way to far out of the game to be giving html advice at this point and way to lazy to relearn but I will tell you what you have to do to help yourself. First off, always always use fileread. Now, you need to look at some past reports that used funny backgrounds, I typically used CrackHeadJeb's reports for reference. Next right click on his report and hopefully you have a view source option somewhere...some people might have to do more to get the source code. Next scroll down until you get through all of the battlereports.com stuff. Theres a lot of it--just to warn you. Now just look at what they did and adapt your html appropiately. If I'm not mistaken your background's not working should have something to with it not being within a table tag. For some reason you need to put in table tag's to get it to work.
#33 Razoriel[145548]

Heh, NOW I AM THE MASTER!!! (Always wanted to say that)

I can't do BR's due to my near non-existant HTML Skills, but I damn well know how to play EV:N. To get licenses, you go to Earth (In the Sol system for the mentally challenged), and go to the outfitter. Licenses are at the bottom, and, after purchase, proceed to purchase ship/weapons.

BTW, if I ever find out how to make a BR (AKA, non half-assed reports), I'll make one.
#34 Kazebari[145549]

Dag: There is a money order option within the Register for EV Nova.exe file.

plus2longsword: thanks for the self-help help. :)

Get back in your box Razoriel! The only thing your the master of is posting already posted information. Check the forum!

But, if you do know everything about EV:N then you can help me!

1) How do I get rid of escorts?
2) The turrents I have installed aren't working, help!

BTW, where do you live in Aussie?
#37 Kazebari[145555]
24.225.141.176
What's really funny is that in these 40 comments only a few actually have criticism/comments on the writing style. :D

anyway, slotham, to answer your questions:

1) You get rid of them by clicking on them, "talking" to them, and click on the "Release" button. Alternatively, if you want to get rid of captured escorts, you can sell them.

2) The turrets only fire if you've clicked on a target. Then when you press the fire button they'll automatically track the target. They won't fire "dumb" like a light blaster would.
#38 Razoriel[145560]
CPE-203-45-78-92.nsw.bigpond.net.au
Parramatta, Sydney.

BTW, the likely reason for me posting already posted info is because I don't use the forum :). I like turrets, but I hate it how you can't shoot asteroids with them.

Anyway, I thought the report was pretty good, except for the lack of background and grey font. 8-9
