UTILITY: Civ3MultiTool - Unofficial Civilization 3 editor (third thread)

[Lochlann]

I'm not sure how tha last turn thing works with PTW yet. I'm trying to find it out. But right now I'm in a more major addition to the sge. (Nothing announced yet thou)

Cool, thanks for replying. For now I'll settle for just resetting the year to 2000 or something whenever I get to 2049. (Hopefully the year resetting tool works...I'll post again if it doesn't.) I look forward to a solution to PTW's last-turn issue.

0.99.1
- SGE: Bug with map-export from PTW saves corrected. Now no VP-locations appear all over the map.
- SGE: Bug with pre-PTW file load (rusulting in crash on save) corrected
- Map converter: Typo in ready to convert text corrected
- Map converter: Added options: Coast Size and Sea Size (to allow size of coast and sea-tiles to separate from ocean)
- Map converter: Added options: Minimum Sea Size and Minimum Ocean Size. These are the minimumnumber of tiles for water surrounded by land to be allowed to contain sea/ocean tiles
- Map converter: Optimized the Coastbuilding function a little to make it faster.
- Map converter: Optimized the Continent finder function
- Added check on startup to see that the c3mt.dll is in the system directory.

Gramphos,

CMT is truly amazing. It is a tremendous boon to those of us who have the minds and attention to detail to make scenarios, but wouldn't be able to tell source code from the sumerian alphabet.

I rather imagine such an ambitious undertaking requires a bit of time and effort. However...

...have you ever considered taking it a step further and making a utility that allows the ignorant to produce ALL aspects of a god mod?

For example, what if CMT allowed you to:

1. Format existing image files to the fit the Civ requirements that they be used as leaderheads?

2. Allowed you to replace leaderheads with your own?

3. Helped with unit design and animation?

Obviously I'm not asking you to make a painting/animation software here. But maybe a converter to make pictures the right dimensions, etc?

Anyhow, just a thought. From a "layman's" perspective, that's all that's missing from CMT.

Keep up the good work.

Is it the one on the 1st page, if because it is, I don't see any of these upgrades!

[Gramphos]

It's on the first page yes. (Not the full install, as it's only v0.99 but the small zip should be the upgrade to 0.99.1)

[Ken aka Batman]

Anyone have a link the the full version of .99? The posted one gives me a 404.

[Gramphos]

My ftp access hasn't been restored since the Settler one crash yet. I'm still waiting for Markos to restor my folder (with the full setup and many other civ3 fiels).

[Ken aka Batman]

seems to be working now. Only fix I can see needed is when editing (via batch edit) enemy units (a bunch) I still get the city error.

Other then that it good.

Damn pollution really pisses me off though......lol

What's that little button next the pollution edit for?

IIRC it sums the building pollution from improvements, but I've not a clue about the real pollution algorithm.

[sabrewolf]

iirc the number of nuclear waste signs is the percentage of chance that a tile in your city radius gets polluted.

so a factory (2 pollution points (PollP)) and a large city (e.g. 4) gives you a 6 percent chance that each turn a tile need some serious cleaning
however, i'm not completely sure if this i calculated for the whole city (6% chance) or for each tile seperately: 1 - (1-0.06)^21 = 1- 0.94^21 = 72.3% possibility that at least one tile is infected ... this is a very large number... so i guess the PollPs are for the whole city...

hi ,

, and what about global warming / pollution , ....

have a nice day

[sabrewolf]

i don't know how global warming happens in the game for you never know how many polluted tiles the AI has.

maybe one could start a game with 100 polluted tiles on an island noone will reach and see how many turns it takes to cause global warming

Hello there, everybody.

It's been a while since I came here last. I can tell you I missed this thread and Civ3 (I didn't have time to play).

So... what's up? Gramphos, what about fixing that url in the first page for people to see your awesome work in C3MT?

Any news for Play The World?

Have you guys heard any gossip of Civ4??? Did I dream that? q: -))

Anyways, see ya.
