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

[Gramphos]

Oki.

Oh, and you can use the UCW with bix-files as long as they doesn't hold any map data.

Perhaps a little follow-up: the only options I can use without crashing are "Exit" and "About" although the last one sucks a little, too, as it shows no "close" field and the whole thing can only be terminated by calling the "Task Manager".

i reckon it has something to do with the unit counter...

Thanks, Sabrewolf. Sounds like a reasonable explanation.

About is closed by clicking anywhare (but on a link) in the about box.

savexpnd "file1.xxx" "file2.xxx"


You have to enclose the file names in ""s!!!!

savexpnd file1.xxx file2.xxx won't work.

No, not yet. I think it might take longer than people think.

[Kuciwalker]

Could you make something that can edit PtW saves?

@sumthinelse : thanks dude ! that indeed helped but now im staring at all this info in my hexeditor.

I downloaded the BIC fileformat as a reference only to find out that its completely different.
So does anyone have a reference to how the sav file format works ?!

Thanks a lot, or gramphos , do you have some beta version with PTW support !
I desperatly want to edit my savegame

cheers

Where did you download the .bix file format from?

Gramphos will figure out the file format eventually but I think it will take a while...

[Gramphos]

I know most of the .BIX format, but I still need to test more before posting it.

Regarding PTW saves it will just have to take a little longer. I still don't have PTW, and there are so many things I'm unsure of that I don't even want to try to make a version for editing what I know so far.

I thought he said he got the .bix format (from where?) but wanted to know the structure of a saved game in PTW.

[Gramphos]

There are still many gaps in the save game format, and also some differences between PTW and 1.29f saves.

Yes, and you are a brave man to try to work with it....

[lester2864]

I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work on your program. It is by far the best that I have seen.

So Thank You very much and keep up the hard work.

Please forgive my idiotic post, but how can I get CMT to work with PTW?

Please help this humble idiot...
