thanks for the hacked editor.

Although it would be a pain, is there any way you can make it so that the editor modifies the Civilopedia.txt and PedialIcons.txt files automatically.

For example, when you add a new unit thru the editor right now, you then have to open both of those text files and append alot of information in various places. it'd be great if the editor would do it automatically...save hours for everyone.

Oh yeah, I nearly forgot. I couldn't face the idea of having to use the original editor. Nice one. Many things would be impossible, or very hard at least, without your work.

	editor question Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

heya,

hate to break up the poly sci 101 here, but anybody else having trouble when creating a new civ (with the hack or with copytool) that the game crashes when you go to the diplomacy screen? (assumes playing the civ you just created). Anything to do about it?

Sorry for going "off topic" but does this file now incorporate the changes that were part of the Civ III patch? The patch replaced the civmod file so now I can do the things that were part of the patch but I can't create new units, advances etc.

Let's see what you all can do ! --Hohenzollern--

I couldn't of said it better! My BIGGEST disappointment was the lack of a good editor. I like to create maps and place civs where I want them to be. No overhead view of the map is also a bad flaw. How in the world can one expect to create maps "easily" without a radar overhead view of the damn thing just like is in the game? Now that I have the game working with the patch I now want the editor fixed!

I am too a wee bit dissapointed, I liked in CTP:1 where you could go in and do things easily and edit amount of forest, length and repitition of river, because rivers are a great source for shields and food, as well as gold, ect.

I hope we get this editor squared away soon!

Because it's not that simple. I've been playing around with it and quite often making a minor change can have some serious consequences. I'm guessing they didn't want to include those features yet in order to avoid having someone get upset because their game keeps crashing.

Any chance you could give us one with the 1.16f features? Everytime I end up adding something, I have to load/save through the default editor as well.

	Re: Re: Good Work Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

quote: Originally posted by Mike Breitkreutz FIRAXIS Clearly, this functionality was needed during the creation of the game. However, we did not feel it received adequate testing to make it available in the released version of the game. In addition, in yesterday's chat I made mention of some graphical glitches that were discovered that make it difficult to modify some of the art and thus support for additional art was not implemented in the editor. Without the ability to add art, the ability to add units, for example, is pointless, so I disabled the feature temporarily. I did not, however, remove the functionality completely as I intend to fix these limitations. Be aware, though, that some of the items were never intended to have add/delete support and are only in there for development purposes. In other words, use these hacks at your own risk.

Wouldn't it be possible to at least allow us to copy some of the existing files, ala Civ3CopyTool? I'd really like to add some specialist Workers to my game, ones with some of their automated abilities shut off, so they only perform one specific task.

Perhaps not like this, but can somsone here give me a real quick explanation of what this mod does?

The units feature doesn't work well. For that you will need the Civ3CopyTool. Wonders are also a problem as the game will crash as soon as the splash screen graphics comes up. Again, Civ3CopyTool, which unfortunately doesn't work on my system. I can continue only because I'm using Norton Crashguard. Basic improvements work just fine though, as does the resources, though occasionally there may be a minor conflict. In my case, the game crashed after I added Sheep to my hills, but the problem cleared up when I changed my Gold to a luxury.

Is this utility ever going to get updated to use with 1.16?

There's not a big difference between the two, so yes you can use it as is. What I've been doing is opening up the Bic file in the regular editor after I've used the hacked one. There's only a few extra flags that have been added in version 1.16f, so it's just a question of setting those, then saving it again. It's a bit of a nuisance, but it gets the job done.

	Remove this text

Sorry, setting a flag simply means checking one of the boxes in the editor that gives the unit/improvement etc. some special ability or function. The 1.16f editor has a few more options you can select than the hacked editor does, but not really all that much. So if you want to include any of those new options, you have to load the Bic file into the new editor, after making any changes the hacked one allows you to, reset the new options, then save it again.

It's a bit of a nuisance like I said, but if you are also using the Civ3CopyTool (soon to be Civ3MultiTool I understand) it's not that big of a deal. It pretty much does everything the hacked editor allows you to do, and it generally does it much better, so most of the time you'd only have to use the 1.16f editor. I hope that helps your confusion.

	You don't need the hacked editor !! Got spare money?

The hacked editor is completely Unnecessary.

All you need to do is:

1: Press "rename" followed by "cancel".
2: Now you press "a" to add or "d" to delete.

Very simple, and it actually works !

I can't seem to understand the help-function on these subjects.

	Tired of ads?

Even easier, simply tab to the "Rename" button.

Problem: I've deleted all my technology (I didn't want any for my mod) but the game bombs out. I can no longer access the "Rename" button to add a tech back in as it's disabled. So now what to I do?

I'm about to download the civmulticopy tool and see if that'll help.

Otherwise I may have to start the mod from scratch again!

Randomize bonus grassland tiles:
If this is checked, Grassland tiles will randomly have an extra shield when placed. If unchecked, you must manually select Bonus Grassland to place if you want Grassland with an extra shield.

Seed:
The seed can be used to generate the exact same map again. When you generate a map, all calculations are based on a single seed number. If you generate another map with the same world setup and same seed, you will get the exact same map.
