The BIC file version in PTW has been updated to 11.17 so i guess changes will have to be made to C3MT for it to work with PTW.

We'll just have to wait untill Gramphos has PTW, I guess; something that should happen in late november

I might be able to get the CopyTool work this weekend. But that would just be a test version, and would require BIX 11.18 (the patch)

However, as I only can program in weekends right now (military service if you haven't noticed yet) so will it probably take some time to get everything working. However i do believe that the Unitorganiozer will work tomorrol, and I might complie a beta version.

Then it's time to update the UCW, and maybe take a look at what can be done with the Civilopedia editor. Also keeping the version supporting the original games takes some effort as the version saved by the UCW must be selectabe (BIC/BICX).

Also theere are a lot of data that will stay unknown till I get the game and can test out morwe things and look into the saves. However the chance that the data will not need to chnage is big enough to just keep it as is.

I might add some optional infogathering code to the program to be able to figure out what some fields mean. It could help the development...

I am deciphering how to add units to the PTW .bix file - I want to modify the default PTW with my own Civ and unit add ons and changes, but the tool will only let me open either the civ3mod.bic of Civ3 or it seems only modify a scenario - am I missing something?

First time using the tool, did my previous add ons by hand...

	Save Game Editor Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I have been using .95 of the SGE and have a problem. Everytime I edit a map, and then attempt to play the map, the game cuts out after 1 turn. I downoaded .96 and the same thing happens. I have the latest version of the patch for the game.

Has anyone else seen this?

Also, I downloaded someone's game to test it. (They couldn't build certain wonders) and now, resources such as iron, coal and oil are almost not existant. Can the rules from this player's game, effect my game?

If not, what should the occurance ratio be set to, to have abundant iron and coal, but not uranium?


Thanks ahead of time.

The rules form a save should never effect anything but the save.

About that chrash thing I know it might be some problems with 1.21f which I never have had time to test my tool with as mush as _I did before because I have less time to play, and therefor alos less time to test things.

Gramphos's comments on version 0.97 (see page 1 this thread), the latest upload, in red letters, says that it does not work with PTW saves (see page 1). Do you have a version that Gramphos has not uploaded yet?

I don't have access to any PTW saves right now, so 0.97 just loads .BIX files (as I could get info about them from the patch file without having PTW yet).

Yes, but there are no changes in the way it handles them. But if you use the Civilopedia editor you might want the new version any way.

This zip file has 2 small PTW single player saves. I think they are the same except one is normal (tiny.sav) and the other (tiny2.sav) is in DEBUG mode.

Interesting -- ALL my registries in that pathway (...\Infogrames Interactive\ ...) default to "default / value not set" except for:

...\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III:

Install_Path=C:\Program Files\Inforgrames Interactive\Civilization III

Uninstall_Path=C:\Pogram Files\Install SHield Installation Information \ {0AD84416-63A4-4CF3-BDDF-8FA866711FB0}\Setup.exe

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Infogrames Interactive\CivilizationIII\1.0f]

HOWEVER, the ...\Infogrames\Civ3PTW values are:

[DEFAULT / VALUE NOT SET]

	Put an end to popups!

And for a status update I've figured that I have to work a little more with 1.29f to track down some bad bugs with save reading and writing before I can focus on the PTW saves.

After working with the saves for about a year now I find that each civ has a counter of units for that civ which my program hasn't updated before (and the game never recalculates), but I hope to get that fixed for the next version.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

- i also noticed, that with the SGE in 1.29f, if you change the unit type (e.g. warrior to archer) the F3-screen doesn't recognize those units.
but i don't know if it works if you actually built one of those before (which would mean there's some kind of flag)

- further, iirc "currently researching" cannot be switched (the AI still continues the one it had chosen before)
and speaking about research: isn't there a counter, how many "beakers" have been researched (so you can say: next move, iron working is finished)?
