I might have a theory if you still have Vanilla Civ3. i'll go check my source code. Might be a glitch with the determine what game run last Civ3/PTW functionallity...

There should be no problem with that one... Have you had PTW installed and uninstalled it?

error in diplomacy editor:

"Unknown section: after TILE"

it happens, when i load the PTW-mod "Apshai Ancient.bix" (i won't attach it because PTW-scenarios are probably copyrighted.

my setup:
OS: win 2000 server
PTW: patch 1.21f

probably this error comes from the fact, that this BIX-file is only a map or because it has victory locations.

It's once again BIX version 11.10 that is playing ghost. You might try to load the mod to the editor and resave it (At least unitl I can get a version out that supports that scenarioversion. (Hey, I can't load all PTW scenarios to test right? ))

I have a fix ready for this now. I'll jut wait and see if I can locate the problem Seesjuh has before recompliing.

As your save corrumted I can't ask you for the original one, but do you remember the exact text of the error message?

Oh, and regarding the 11.10 problem it was a glitch from my side. I lowered the minimum supported BIX version to 11.10 when I made 11.10 rules readable, but I didn'ät thought of updating the mapreading. (even thou it's most likely identical to 11.18 it will try to read it as 4.01 (Civ3 1.29f) due to that it's less than 11.18)

Small fixes ready. If you don't have problem with any of the following is it no need to update.

1.00.0001
- Bug with loading of BIX version 11.10 with maps corrected.
- SGE: "File Not found" error on SGE load where Civilization3.ini is missing while ptw is installed (i.e never run Civ3 but have run PTW) corrected.

How do you install the patch v1.00.0001?

Do you just unzip all the files into the C3MT directory?

There's a c3mt.dll that is not in the C3MT directory, but it is included in the patch. Where does it go?

Thanks.

It's the same as in the full version. You may replace it in toyr system directory. But if you place it in the C3MT directory it will be done automaticly next time you run C3MT. However, I maybe should drop the dll from the patch, and just have it with the full install in the future...

I think the message is pretty clear.

Something with your file version is not handled

@gramphos : Ermm, the first game was corrupted by the 1.00 version, thus I was happy with a 1001 version !!

SO i loaded a quicksave which held the savegame -1 turn from the corrupted save.....
Thus this savegame I saved on another name, loaded it in c3mt newest, changed a few minor things, like making a trooper elite instead of regular.

I saved, loaded up civ3, and was confronted with the same error message..... ?! :S
So I had a good save, which was still being corrupted by the new version , sorry dude !

Only wanting to help....

It's a lot easier with files, as I then can see the corruption, and from the sight of it determine where in the save (or load) routine the problem is.

	Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I got the tool a few days ago (v1.0). Used it twice for my 1.29f version (GOTY) of the game. I am very please with it. Cool tool.

But, now it doesn't work anymore. From the 3rd time and on, I have never had a successful loading an edited savegame. I always get the error message while the savegame is loading "DataIO Error: DataIO operation System Error: PAVL" (I'm using Windows 98 FE)

I got the error even if I don't make any change to the file. Open the savegame with the editor, don't change anything, save it. Still, got the error message.

I use the editor to open a couple of edited savegames just to see the data again and there is one thing that was wrong (even when I did not make any change to the file). In the "General tab" where it show the game year and game settings, instead of the numbers:

"Year [1120] 247" "First turn: [-4000]" "Last turn: [2050]" "540 turns",

I got numbers 9-10 digits long. It shows:

"Year [134419625] 247" "First turn: [13414335]" "Last turn: [1095761920]" "961342075 turns"

This is a savegame that was edited before. I roll back the year (2034 to 900) and change all of my Legionaries to Marines and add a few city improvement.

If you want to take a look, I can supply both savegames (unedited and edited) along with a screenshot of the funny numbers I mentioned above.

Anyway, I am quite happy with my current edited game (from the first two times using the editor). I rolled back the game year from 2034 AD to 900 AD (still have about 200 turns to go from the current year, 1120 AD) . I have a bunch of elite units, some fully upgraded cities (with population of 1 or 2 ) and I reached the Future Tech for the first time ever.

Edited for the exact error message.
