Latest version: 1.12.8
To the bottom of this post for attachment download list
Well,
since all my previous threads has reached the 500 posts limit I have to start a fourth one.
first thread second thread
third thread
This thread starts with version 1.04 on the day exactly two years after what would turn into this tool was released.
You will need VB runtime to use this utility. You can get the files needed from the linked setup file or the files listed in the readme and in the post.
Note that any upgrade zip will require at least version 1.00 to be upgraded. If you have any 0.x version you will have to use the full installer.

Download a full version (1.12.6) 2.3 MB
Download the latest small version: c3mt-1.12.8.rar (requires that you have at least 1.00 working)
Language packs
There are currenlty no extra language packs for version 1.12
If you feel that you want to make your own translation send an email to gramphos[at]apolyton[dot]net and tell me what language you want to translate the tool to.
For the copytool to be able to copy buildings correctly you will also need a fixed "buildings-small.pcx". The original had an offset error. It can be downloaded here (Vanilla Civ3 only)
For all that have problem with unexpected errors or missing OCX:
These are the OCX-file used right now. Extract the cab and right click on the inf and select install. (Or use the FULL install)
I've now hit the attachment size limit. Attached is currently the readme file, more as a place holder than anything to download.
Later versions I'll make in two versions, as long as I don't make changesto the dll. One with and one without the dll. (Then I'll be able to keep the smaller here)
