  • Help!

    I've install some units, so to test they work i made them need no techs and no resources. When i try to build one the quick way (right click, choose build orders, then click on the unit) its fine, but the moment i zoom into the city (info about the city) screen it crashes! Its actualy an illegal error message (this'll probubly be usless and pointless but here it is!)

    CIVILIZATION3 caused an invalid page fault in
    module CIVILIZATION3.EXE at 017f:004030d3.

    If i zoom into the city, click on the build orders, select the unit it crashes the moment i click on it! With a guess what? An illegal error!

    My guess is its somthing to do with icons, but Zulu says its not. He says he knows its not but he doesn't know what it is!
    So any ideas from this end?

    The unit icon needs to be an actual icon in the Units_32.pcx but if you can get the change build list you have it working corectly.
    Check the spelling and make sure the unit, the folder, and the INI file in the folder are the same.

        Another thing sometimes after adding a lot of units you have to restart your computer or it will crash.

          still the same, could this be a bug in Gramphos multi-tool?

              What I would do is Redo it and add a few units at a time in the editor copying the folder name and pasting it in as the name.
              You will have to set the stats your self.

                i deleted them all, and installed one, and it doesn't work!

                My next step is to install it using the edittor instead, and to see then! If it works then it must be gramphos multi-tool.

                If that don't work, i'm uninstalling, trying again.

                  Check the INIs to see if you have all the files it points to.

                      You have a BIC with them in? Can you post it?

                      Did you select the correct animations for the units?

                      Do you have an Default animation selected?

                        My newly added units are working and I don't know why the Multitool would affect anything.

                        I'd have to lean towards something with your Units.pcx file from what your describing because that's the only thing I can think of that's exclusive to the city screen relating to units. Maybe there's an error/glitch with it or it's in the wrong format?

                        Why I think this:
                        Not unit ini, flc, or bic because you say you can build the "quick way".

                        When you go to the city screen, it has to access the Unit.pcx for the little icon you assigned to it in the editor. I've known it to crash here if the pcx or setting was wrong and that's about the only thing your bypassing my doing it the "quick way".

                            GhengisFarb has a point. I't sounds as if your Units32.pcx are too small or something.
