UTILITY: Civ3MultiTool v1.12.5 (C3MT) - Unofficial Civ 3 editor (fourth thread)

[FireMonkey]

I have been trying to get the save game editor to work and all it will do is crash. I get these error messages when I load it

Error: Object variable or With block variable not set (91) in C3MT::frmSaveEdit.frm Line 3493
SGE: Making Mapsummary
Error: Object variable or With block variable not set (91) in C3MT::frmSaveEdit.frm Line 3501
Error: Object variable or With block variable not set (91) in C3MT::frmSaveEdit.frm Line 3508

After which it seems to work except if I try to use the filter it crashes or if I try to save it crashes. I just tried redownloading it from here but it still did the same thing. What's going wrong and how can I fix it?

[Gramphos]

Seems as if your save fails to load. Could you post it?

[FireMonkey]

Ok, but I'm not exactly sure what you want me to post ... do you mean attach the saved game to a message? If so, I can do that no problem, if not then I guess this old brain needs to have what you want explained in simple words [heh]

[Gramphos]

if it's small ennough to attach then do so. Otherwise use the upload feature.

[FireMonkey]

Ok, I've uploaded the save file ... but I'm afraid I'm very new to this board and so I don't know the ins and outs of it yet and I'm not sure how to do a link to the file so you can get it.

[FireMonkey]

Never mind - I found the answer to my question [I think] now if I have this right, then this should link the file:

The last time I played Civ3PTW?... a year or so.

I tried the lastest version, 1.11.5 (full install version) and I use PTW (1.27f).

Unfortunatly, when I try to load a PTW save file, it says [ Not a Civ 3] and it crashes. Also, the default laod save games directory is located in Civ3 and not PTW.

PTW is working fine though. It seems Civ3MultiTool doesn't see it installed. I can't see why!

Here is the log file:

I tried to install and uninstall C3mt several times.

[Benzlys]

Can someone post me the registry content of both PTW and C3MT? So I can compare them and see if there is anything wrong with mine.

[Gramphos]

C3MT registry content isn't that important. Just settings.

PTW should have an install_path somehere pointing to the civ3ptw directory

v1.11.6

1.11.6
- Added code to eliminate (hopefully) runtime errors due to fail in save load.
- Improved error logging in more areas of the code (still not all)
- Corrected a subscriptout of range error whan using filter with non-embeded rules.
- Removed section searching from GAME datasection in saveload. (This should eliminate some rare cases of files not loading properly due to garbage strings lookingas section tags)
- Corrected adivision by zero error that could occur if a save was loaded on turn 1.
- Corrected some backward compabilities with old BI*-versions. (Some values got initiated to invalid values, which could cause the tool to crash with division by zero error)
- Corrected bug in serialization of zerolength areas that sometimes would cause DataIO save corruptions.
- Corrected bug in backwardbompability saving of save headers.
- Updated Map import to work with the new save handling code.

I have a saved game that hangs on the next turn, and I cannot figure out why. When I use the SGE, when I go to the cities tab, and choose a particular city, I get a "Runtime Error '13'" Type mismatch. Its a city that recently was captured by another civ.... can you tell me what this runtime error represents? I'd like to figure out how to salvage this savegame.

Thanks.

[Gramphos]

that error most likely mean that some variable fails to be loaded. Either due to unknown information, or an error in the save.

Hi!
Just bought Civ3 (yep a slowpoke) and thought I try your tool also but unfortunately I immediately run into problems. I am running verson 1.11.6 under windows XP.

Trying to export a map I get:
Error: Object variable or With block variable not set (91) in C3MT::SAVE_Map_Tile.cls Line 220

This is a fatal error as in locking the program

Trying to save a change (or even an unchanged file) gives
Path/File access error 75 streambuffer.cls line 833
and trying to start a saved file (after ignoring) gives me Data IO operation error PALV.

I don't know what the tool supports, but do get to the latest patch:

1.29 for Civ3
1.27 for PTW
1.22 for C3C

[Gramphos]

Like vmxa said the chances that later patches work are higher than the chances that earlier does. The backward compability code really neeeds some attecntion.
