	Put an end to popups!

Used it and it seems to work just fine.


And let me say, I LOVE it, even just this simple version

With 27 new units it really was a pain, but now I can arrange them in any manner I'd like. Aahhh...so nice to finally have the units in proper order (like not having Paratrooper and Marine so early in the list, or my new units at the very bottom and out of any sensible order).

Will take a bit to get used to having things organized, but I'll deal


Many, many, many thanks

I just read up on this, been skimming through a few pages, your editor sounds great Gramphos. Good work! Only problem is that the d/l doesn't work (at least the one you just posted). I get an unopenable doc file called "attachment". Can you repost it?

It has nothing to do with the uploaded file, but with the download script since the Server Move. Try to rename the file to something.zip and see if it opens. Otherwise you can find the same verion at Civfanatics.

In most cases that solves the problem, but some specific browser doesn't get the full file, or gets the real filename info together with the file, which would corrupt it.

I've flagged it as tested. There is no difference from the untested version, other then then message that it hasn't been tested is gone, so you don't have to download this if you already have the untested version.

I've also sent a full install to Markos.

I've been working on a BIC compare function today, but am far from finished. Right now it can compare units at the same position. I'm working on extending that to invlude moved around units as well, but that will be done later.

If you want to test it out I attach it. (note this is EXE only)

I just noticed that the Wonder splash entries aren't being sorted properly. I'm getting the right numbers, but they don't always end up at the bottom of the list as they should. Sometimes they get mixed in with previous entries. Which is probably why the game was still crashing after I used CopyTool. It's not a problem to arrange it manually, but I thought you might like to know.

I just finished copying a Small Wonder and discovered that the very bottom of the PediaIcons list was cut off. The era splash entries were gone, the wonder I had just copied wasn't there, nor was the path of the one previous to that.

That should have been fixed a while ago. Did it happen with the new version, or was the error there already?

I remember that I tested if it needed to be ordered, and figured out that it hadn't to be in the right order. I might be wrong, but I can't change that right now. It will take a while before a new tested version can get out. I'm building on the new feature, and have some other planned changes, which I'm not yet ready to speak of. However it will be changes to the SaveGame editor as well again for the next update.

If you have any more info on this issue, and can test if it only has to do with the order I'd appreciate not need to do all the testing myself. I'll change it when I figure out a good way to do it, but It would mean that I have to modify the copy routine again, and every time I do that there show up new bugs for about 5 versions.

No, it just happened with the new version using a newly installed PediaIcon file. The first time I used CopyTool, the entries came out mixed up as I mentioned, the second time it cut off the bottom.

I suspect that the order is important, since I was still having that splash screen problem after I first used the tool. I wasn't able to fix it until I read Plutarch's tutorial and realized what was causing it. I've noticed that your numbers are correct, so the only alternative is that the entries have to be in proper sequence as well.

I guess I'll have to comment all new stuff and fix this.

It was a problem that it cut one line each time you used it, but I thought I fixed it. However it might have been one time when it crashed (computer) before I saved what I'd done.

Well it's cutting much more than one line this time as you can see from the file I sent. The entire era splash section is missing. Now that I know what to expect though, it's nothing more than a nuisance. Sorry if I've ruined your day.

Frankly I'm just really, really pleased that I can build a wonder without the game trying to crash.

	v0.82.2002 (untested) Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

As there has been some errors in the tested version I advice all people working with BICs to upgrade to this. However there is a non finished feature (comparing) that is totally untested.

The fixes:
- The wondersplashes are now adde at the end of the list
- The log file no longer logs normal startups
- The pediaicons.txt should (I hope I got it right this time) not lose the last line every time a bulding is copied.

I still got the message that it wasn't tested fully. Don't matter now I guess with all of new updates.

One question; I rearranged all my units in the correct order I thought them to be. I opened up my saved game to continue with my current game. All my Musketmans where now Destroyers unable to move on land, my army was a combiation of a Aircraftcarrier with 3 transport helicopters! Just a few of the changes that occured in the saved game. I haven't tried it with a new game yet so I can't tell you what happen's with those. All I can say was "thank god for the back-up!!!!" I reinstalled the BAK bic and everything was back to normal.

This problem might have been corrected in your new versions, sorry if I'm late.

I must thank you for all of your hard work. Without the copy tool, adding units, buildings, resources... would be impossible.

The problem is that the saves use indexes, and they aren't edited. It is in the same way as if you change anything. It will affect the saves.

No, and I don't plan on changing it.

Lately my game seems to always crash during the mid game. I suspect it could be due to something I accidentally done to my bic file such as adding a square of map in it (I can't find any land, but I could have accidentally added an ocean square ).

Is there a way for me to find out or correct this problem? It seems that the game only crash if I use the bic file as Civ3mod.bic. All those game I started as scenario seems to be fine

I am attaching a copy of the bic file here. See if you can tell whats wrong with it? It always crash when I click on a certain area of the map (Civ3 cannot jump to that spot and it crashes ).

So I just copied 4 wonders and I've had no problems so far, everything seems to be working fine. One suggestion if I may, think you could have a pop up saying "Done", or some such thing, when the program has finished copying, just so we don't have to stare at the screen all the time? Or maybe a bell or a beep. Just something to let us know.

I'm looking into ways to speed up the PCX editing (as it is what takes most time) I've got some code from Moeniir (the creator of FLICster) that I maybe ca use. But it needs to be partly rewritten to work with VB5, an partly to work with C3CT. Adding done popup to the copy could be done

Wow, that was quick! "Ask and ye shall recieve" eh? Thanks. Being able to edit the years is definitely a bonus. Any possibility of editing the years per turn?

quote: Originally posted by Willem Any possibility of editing the years per turn?

Not as I have found yet. It seem fixed to 25 turns 50 yers/turn - 25 turns 40 turns/year, 40 turns with 25 years/turn, 50 turns with 20 years/turn, 100 turns with 10 years/turn, 100 turns - 5 years/turn, 100 turns 2 years/per turn and after that all turns are one year. (which gives that you can make the start earlier to manipulate the years per turn in the time when you want it, but that will make the Replay look strange (going on for tousends of years before the first city is built)).

That doesn't matter to me, I never bother with the replay anyway. At any rate, I'd rather end it later, instead of starting it earlier. So keep up the good work, I really appreciate your efforts.
