LazyCiv for ToT PBEMs

MagyarCrusader · May 18, 2003, 22:03

Is there a version of LazyCiv thats compatible with ToT? If not, does anyone know how to make it so?

Angelo Scotto · May 19, 2003, 04:50

Sure, what is LazyCiv?

Kull · May 19, 2003, 21:08

If anyone can "make it so", surely 'tis the talented Mr. Scotto!

(I'll let MC give you the details, Angelo)

LazyCiv is a program written by Xin Yu that has saved the PBEM community (at least for MGE users). It fixes a bug that changes a players production queue when a city is taken. For an example of a current issue with this bug, check out this pbem:

here is the link to Xin Yu's website where you can download version 3 of lazyciv:

Any help would be appreciated!

@Kull:

now i must succeed...

It seems a feasible task with CSPL;
If i understand correctly the problem only pop up when a city is conquered, is this right?
and in that case all loser civ city queues are re-configured by the AI or all civs queues?
And the problem is just with the city queues? i mean, no problem with money or units?

I'll give it a try this weekend, hope it's not too late for your PBEM.

Yes that is correct. The bug doesn't always appear when a city is conquered, only sometimes.

The problem is with city qeues, but that also affects the amount of already built shields (-50%).

Also it only happens to cities on the same ingame "continent" as the city that was lost.

Ok, this one should do the trick.

How to use it:
- Launch Tot and then launch LazyCSPL (as every other CSPL program... whoops, it's the only one...)
- Let's say a player start his turn, well, before doing everything else, it should select LazyCSPL bar and press 's'
- LazyCiv will save all production queues of all cities with the exception of player civ.
- The player play its turn as always.
- Just before saving the file he should select LazyCSPL and press 'l'
- LazyCiv will restore all production queues of all cities with the exception of player civ.

I hope that what i've done is enough to take care of this problem too: it restores the item that was in production when the turn started AND the number of shields stored when the turn started.

I wasn't able to test it properly so please test it and tell me if i missed something or if i misunderstood something else.
