RE: Bug with C3MT on Civ3PTW 1.21f

I am having a problem with the savegame editor. It is opened fine and can be saved, however when the savegame is loaded all the technologies researched reset to none. This happens all the time. I tried to readd them by opening the savegame again, but to no avail.

I too, am experiencing problems with the CivmultiTool. When I open the saved game editor and try to edit my civ.. I get this error "Run-time error '11': Division by Zero"

And the Multi Tool shuts down...

OS - 98se english
C3MT - 1.01 english
Civ3 - 1.29 US
PTW - 1.21 US

This is a problem with the importing of a map and the rules. Let me explain what I did, I was playing a scenario with ptw and while playing a few of the rules were incorrect. So to avoid restarting the game, I exported the game with the rules. I then changed the rules to how they should be. I then imported the rules(with the map that is the same as in the game).

I then start up ptw and load the save game. I get an error where it can not find a needed entry in the pediaicons.txt. So I do a test, I replace the standard pediaicons.txt in \CIV3PTW\Text with the one from the scenario. When I load up the game now I get errors of missing graphics, but NONE FROM the pediaicons.txt, because they too are from the scenario.

My guess at the problem is that when a map is imported, it does not import where it should look for the files from the scenario, instead it just uses the default location for files.

I'll investigate this issue. I've not been working very mush with PTW mods with the SGE, and it's most löikely as you think. Do you know if the Scenari search folder was exported correctly with the map?

I have a new installation of Civ3 and updated to 1.29f and then install the lastest verion of the editor and get a sunscript out of range error. I am on XP pro.

Do you get any other error before the subscript error?

[Gramphos]

(I'm currently working on 1.27f compatibility with the tool. (Currently BIX version 11.19 is not supported))

[Gramphos]

I have found the reason for the Science walk, and Wonder data corrption and maybe also trade network (I'm not exactly sure how that is stored, but if my theroies are correct they would have been effected)?

The error is that one byte too mush gets copied from an unknown buffer to the saved save, so that all the date after that byte gets one byte wrong. For science this results in the8th civ getting the 1st civ techs, and the 1st civ getting the techs of the 24th civ one tech lower and so on.

I got a bit of a problem. I edited one of my games by adding settlers to a previously un-explored island, which worked fine. But now when ever I conquer a city, the game crashes. It doesn't matter if the population is 1 and it dies, or 12 and I keep it. It just throws me back to Windows after thinking for a second. I'm totally stumped.

*edit* I have Civ3 original 1.29f, CMT 1.001 (<-- awsome tool)and WinXP Pro

This might be related to a bug with the city per continent recalculation which will be corrected for the next game. (I'm not sure if too big values in those fileds will result in that error)

[Gramphos]

1.02
- SGE: Corrected bug where the tool would think that you tried to move a wonder by having it selected and making any update operation (save/change selected city)
- Adds support for PTW 1.27f (BIX 11.19)
- SGE: Bug where the tool would freeze on save load in some rare cases corrected.
- SGE: Corrected bug from v1.01 where various generic settings of the games (as science progress and wonder allocation) were corrupted on saving.
- SGE: Citycounting bug where the number of cities reported would be X times to big where X is the number of players in the game plus barbarians.
- SGE: Added option to not remove resources not replaced by other resources during mapimport.
- SGE: Corrected bug where the game would ask you to move the Barbarian Capital to the selected city on map import if the selected city is the first city in the game.
- SGE: Corrected a subscript out of range bug when the game fails to select a citizen in the city list when the cities tab is selected.
- Added some more errorhandling and logging. (There is still mush to be done on this point)

Yes it is exported, that is why it has puzzled me . . .
