UTILITY: UnOfficial Civ3 Scenario Editor

[Gramphos]

But what if you view by unit?

[Frodo160]

Hi, I opened a save game with the editor but when i tried to click on a unit it crashed...here is the save game file and the debug log:

problems!

I changed the colours (32bit) and now I see the map, no black screen! But therer are magenta triangles!? And I cannot add units or change something...

Adding units will come in the next version, in the current version you can move them around on the map.

As for the magenta I might have a look at that for the next version but it's bottom of my list at the moment.

Ok, so the unit didn't show up. But why would you want to add a unit that wasn't in the current era, or unless you want to cheat.

I'm making this editor for mod/scenarion makers so this shouldn't be a problem.

Mapzoom

Do you think it's possible to zoom the map?
Its a little bit difficult to move on the hugh map with the arrow buttons...
And to use the mouse to move?

[John Barbarossa]

This is great

I haven't downloaded the file yet, but the prospect of playing 4000BC scenarios with PROPER STARTING LOCATIONS... well, that would really add value to Civ 3 for me and friends who play on my machine.

Thanks for your efforts so far, and your ongoing ambitions for this excellent project. Fans like you keep games alive long after they have ceased to be sold and officially supported. I for one really appreciate what you are doing. Well done.

It is possible to use the mouse and move the map at the same time!

It would take some time to make the map zoomable, as I would much rather spend my time getting features in to the editor, putting in a zoomable map is at the bottom of my list.

Sorry.

Excellent work Jimmy, I suggest calling it Jimmys Workshop or something..
If you need any help, I could help with coding, i'm a professional games coder, i've nearly got sprite bitmap scaling to work, which would be a start for fully zoomable maps.

The program works quite well, Its quite an achievement showing where all the units on the map are and the maps themselves.
It crashes unfortunetly when I try to click on a unit to do anything, maybe because i'm on a giant map with probably about 1000 units in total.
It gives a page error.. and debugging with VC++ says its an Unhandled Exception, which sounds like a code error.
Its Windows98. P3 450, 580MB RAM

I suggest you add a delete unit option too.

PS. Keep up the good work, will be great when a Roman Empire scenario or Pacific World war 2 scenario will be created... think oil resource rushes with japan and america trying to cut off islands harbours...

I just downloaded it and can not get it to work, I have the last version of CIV3 so perhaps that is the reason.
If not then I could really use your help.
What it do is that the map is 100% black, and it crash whenever I click somewhere on it.
I have attached one of my save games.

[Gramphos]

jimmyh is working on an updated version to support compressed saves.

[Panag]

hoi , just an other word for hi

JimmyH , Gramphos , what is the "stand" now ?

how far is the project ? ( been away for a couple of days )

have a nice day

[John Barbarossa]

Is this project still alive, or has it been scuppered by v1.21f?

[Kenjura]

hellooooooo.....???





Whatever happened to this project? Seems 1.21f killed the few things we had going. Oh, but Play The World will make it all better. Sure, months from now.

So this is it then, huh? Not even going to try?
