Oki.

Oh, and you can use the UCW with bix-files as long as they doesn't hold any map data.

Perhaps a little follow-up: the only options I can use without crashing are "Exit" and "About" although the last one sucks a little, too, as it shows no "close" field and the whole thing can only be terminated by calling the "Task Manager".

Thanks, Sabrewolf. Sounds like a reasonable explanation.

savexpnd "file1.xxx" "file2.xxx"


You have to enclose the file names in ""s!!!!

savexpnd file1.xxx file2.xxx won't work.

No, not yet. I think it might take longer than people think.

Where did you download the .bix file format from?

Gramphos will figure out the file format eventually but I think it will take a while...

I know most of the .BIX format, but I still need to test more before posting it.

Regarding PTW saves it will just have to take a little longer. I still don't have PTW, and there are so many things I'm unsure of that I don't even want to try to make a version for editing what I know so far.

I thought he said he got the .bix format (from where?) but wanted to know the structure of a saved game in PTW.

There are still many gaps in the save game format, and also some differences between PTW and 1.29f saves.

I'm a desperate man. I'll find Gramphos' house and firebomb it unless he makes the MultiTool for PTW. I >really< want it, dammit.

Thre will be PTW support in time. It's just that C3MT is currently one of three projects going on, but C3MT is the only public project, and it's also he biggest project. however I can't spend all my timo on it, and right now my time home is very limited. I'll be lining in tents most of the time until April, and in the time I can only access my compuer, with Visual Basic on it in some weekends.

But It's average every second weekend, might be shorter some times, and longer some other times.

Hi.

I apologize for this seemingly pointless post. The reason for it is that I was magically de-subscribed from this thread (and every other thread I belonged) for some reason, and I want to "stay tuned" to any developments in the making of this utility.

So, please forgive this off-topic message, which is only here to make sure I am subscribed. Have a nice day.

Viktor, the fact that so many people want a PTW version, and the fact that nobody except you is working on it says something good about your talent and dedication. I have hacked around with the save files and I don't think it's easy.

I think I can speak for many of us when I say that you have done excellent work in the past and I hope you can find time to continue.

I wish you happy tenting.

Hi all. I'm new to Apolyton but I have been working on a program to edit just the civilopedia. View the forum at CDG

I am making my way through the threads here at Apolyton and I can't seem to find anything about how to read .bic files into a program. My program will display the icons and requirement, etc , the same as the civilopedia in the game. I need to know if reading .bic files has been discussed before.

Also, this program is not meant as a threat to Gramphos' project. I started this before I knew about his program.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

* Edit *
I have found the thread which details the BIC format but i can't figure out how to read it. It looks really wierd in wordpad and winhex is no better. Also the file is not compressed. Thanks again

maybe you might want to release your source code.

I can update CPT to work with PTW in no time as it doesn't use dates. I still need saves with other baseunits, and other start and stop times from PTW. If anyone could supply me with them I'd be greatful.
