Duhh--I figured out how to get Powerbar 3.6 to work with Civ3 v 1.29. The initial screen has two check-boxes, both for versions of PTW. Use SHIFT-click to turn the check mark off in both boxes - that way it will run for the Civ3 version 1.29f (gold edition).

what about Civ3 v1.27f ?? Will it work for this version??

I tried shift-clicking and unmarking the two boxes but that doesn't seem to work, the two options i get are for v1.27f and for v1.21f, initially i would check the v1.27f cause that's the version i have but that didn't work, then i tried clicking the v1.21f box that didn't work either and lastly, i did as you said but well no luck.

Thanks Jeannie.

version 1.27f? :undecide:
I never saw version 1.27f, only Civ3 1.21f and the next was 1.29f
but Civ3PtW has the versions 1.21f and 1.27f
if you really use Civ3 1.27f update to 1.29f and it should work to you ;)

i can't update it to v 1.29f because i have the North American version, the latest version is v 1.27f.

hm, so you have to use PtW or C3C (after a new powerbar-version) :p

Thanks CCJ39, but the version i have(the gold edition) is a combination of both Ptw and Civ 3, so i can't really choose between both. Once again I appreciate your help.

My understanding was that Civ3 Gold was Civ3 with all the patches applied - I just looked at the Civ3 web site and read the blurb, and it says Civ3 Gold is Civilization 3 with the Play the World muliplayer expansion pack.

Did they give you 2 CD's, one labelled Civilization 3 and the other labelled Play the World? If they did and you install both, you'll have two games - Civ3 (Civilization3.exe) and Play the World (Civilization3x.exe). I assume Civ3 is at version 1.29f and PTW is at version 1.27f, but might still be at version 1.21f. The initial screen for each program shows the version in the lower left hand corner of the screen.

So check which program executable you are starting up when you play the game, and notice the patch level on the initial screen, and start up Powerbar with the appropriate version option.

Hope this helps! (I infer from reading other things in the CFC forum that the Gold Edition didn't come with a manual, so I can understand the confusion!)

I have two cd's the first one says disk 1 and the second says disk 2 i think they must have combined them together, because i only have one executable. The patch level says 1.27f, thanks Jeannie.

You might want to 'search' for civ3.exe. For those of us who originally bought Civ3 and then added PTW, the executables are in different folders. Personally speaking, though, I NEVER play the 'orignal' CIV3 (civ3.exe) since I got PTW (civ3x.exe).

(Given the directory structures for Civ3 and PTW, I doubt that they combined Civ3 and PTW into one executable.)

Please let us know if using Powerbar with the option for PTW version 1.27f works for you,

Unfortunately i could not find civ3.exe the only executable i found

was civ3x.exe, it seems like there is no sign of Civ 3 and PTW

being two seperate structures, this version of Civ3 Gold

Multiplayer was Civ3 assumingly with all the patches applied plus

Play the World muliplayer expansion. This might help, the box

which i purchased, had a gold and blue covering. Like before the

only distinction between the two cd's are disk 1 and disk 2. And

this is what i see at the bottom left hand corner of the screen

1.27f, A little recap :

- using Civilization 3 Gold Edition Multiplayer version 1.27f
(North American)

- using Windows 2000, 1.9GHZ, cpu usage is about 25% when game and powerbar are running

- Problem with powerbar for me, when load button is clicked after the saved game is loaded, there is no response, progress bar does not change colour, even after waiting for long periods of time there is still no response, still able to play the game while powerbar says it's loading.


Thanks Jeannie. And thanks to all who have given suggestions.

What about an update for Conquests?

Hey When its there Going to be A power Bar that Works With C3C, any buddy working on one. well hope it post soon, C3C power bar would Be nice!

I DO plan on updating powerbar, but I have yet to buy the new Conquests... :crazyeye:

Stay tuned - I'll try to get to it soon!

Hey, Rhye and Mertic, try reading through the thread before asking questions that have been answered. It makes for less repetitive/pointless posts in the thread. Thanks.

For all those who are eagerly awaiting a new C3C compatible PowerBar:
Is anybody down with pitching in and helping SpiderZord (who works on/uploads PowerBar with his own time and expense) get a copy of Conquests? It would be a nice gesture from those who have used his program to tweak around with Civ3.

for the beginning: how about some fundraising (aka fundrazing :lol:) for spiderzord to get him C3C? ;)

however, i would volunteer to help spiderzord if he releases the code and can recommend a good memory monitoring tool.
i began programming a save game editor, but gave it up because gramphos' one is just too good to even compare to. and trainer would be a real challenge :)

Which version works on Civ 3 Gold Edition. I've tried ver3.6beta.
When you press the load button it just says loading and does nothing else. Can someone Help?

To all that have said:

When you press the load button it just says loading and does nothing else

Simple fix. Start the PowerBar.exe. Select the version you are playing. Press Continue. Now, start Civ III. Start or load a game. Wait until the game is fully loaded/started THEN press the LOAD button on PowerBar. If you do not wait until the Civ III game loads/starts to press LOAD, then powerbar will hang.

Do not press LOAD prior to starting Civ II or at the splash screen!!


:)

Figured problem out. I think that the powerbar utility is great and I cant wait till it comes out for C3C.

Hi guys,

I'm getting the Run-time error: '399' Component 'MSCOMCTL.OCX' or one of it's dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.

The problem is that I don't have that file at all. And I have no idea where to download it.

The only fix I've so far found is one for properly registering the file.

But I don't have the file, so that won't work.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

First, go to this site (http://www.geocities.com/nitin_speed/resources.htm#mscomctl) and download the .OCX file you are missing. The link should take you right to the download page. It also includes, on that page, the instructions of where to place the file, and how to "registry" the file with the Windows Registry so that you can use it. That should fix your problem.


NOTE: You may wish to bookmark that page as it has alot of the 'common' missing .dlls and .ocxs that are needed for Visual Basic programs like Powerbar.

If that doesn't work let me know as I have all the VB needed files and can e-mail them to you.

I have CivIII Gold myself, and from what I have read in this thread is that everyone using the "Gold" version is having problems with the PB.

"Gold" is not CivIII, nor is it PTW. It seems to be it's own integrated program. You can not sellect to play one or the other. There is no CivIII disc in the package. There is no PTW disc. When I try to open just the CivIII file, it asks to put in the CivIII disc which of course, I do not have.

I have tried all the suggestions for using the PB with "Gold" and have had no luck.
1. Waited for a saved game to load before hitting the "load" button.
2. Started a new game and took a turn before hitting the "load" button.
3. Tried both of the above with box 1.27f and box 1.21 checked, also tried it with none of them checked.

Whatever I have tried has resulted in the PB hanging at the "loading" point.

"Extreme" was having the same issue and from what I could tell, and is also using "Gold". A couple threads later he comments that he has figured it out. Extreme are you referring to the problem of the PB hanging? If so, and you have figured it out, could you share what you know with the rest of us please?

Still frustrated...:confused:

Extreme, could you please tell us how you managed to fix the problem with Civ 3 Gold Edition using Power Bar.

Thanks

Yes, please let us know if you know how to get the PB to work with gold. I've tried every single trainer and save game editor I could find on the net and nothing is working for me.

What about a Christmas release of the new version?

That would be cool.

Hi,

Can anyone send me the link for the powerbar utility. I tried clicking the powerbar 3.6 by SpiderZord and and it is not working. Thaks for your help.

@ALL:
3.6 is the only working version currently. If you have Civ III Gold Edition, or Conquests it will not work for those. It will work for Civ III all patches, Civ III PTW 1.21 and 1.27. SpiderZord is working on this I am sure, but does NOT get paid for this free service so when he gets time (As he has a family with kids and a life from what I can tell) he will update it. Please be patient and respect the man for all he has done for the Civ III community, I'm sure he will get an update out.


@SpiderZord:
I program in VB6.0 myself, and am getting better ever day (since I code everyday, I need to get good to do it for a living) I bring this up because I know you are busy! If you want help, or need to turn the project over to someone else to work on, I'd be glad to help out. You'll have to teach me a few things with the memory offsets, etc, but I learn very fast! Alo, if you do hand this over to me (Even just temp till you have time to do this again) I'd like people to know I do have a job, and a wife, and will work on it when I can and do what I can. However, I have no kids, and prolly have a bit more free time then SpiderZord has.

Just an offer SpiderZord. I love to code, I love to help out, and I love PowerBar!

you could make one for conquets.. there are no trainers for it

there are trainers for C3C, my trainer (http://www.ccj39.com/mtxl.php) for example, it doesn't allow you so much things like powerbar, but it's a trainer too (at the time for C3C 1.00-1.02), I'll update it in the next days ;)

for some reason your trainer doesnt seem to work for me, I tried everything listed in the read me file.

hm, ok here some small questions about your system:

- which OS`?
- other programs using hotkeys are activ?
- does it is original game, no cracked exe or else?

I am disheartened to see all of the posts from people having problems with the latest beta versions of Power Bar. I think Power Bar is a great tool, but you need to examine the functionality of the new versions before you adopt them. It also does not make sense to me to overwrite proven versions of Power Bar with beta revisions that may or may not work.

I am running Civ III version 1.29f and I haven't had any luck with any of the Power Bar revisions since 2.1.0. Therefore, that is the revision that I use.

What is needed, for those who do not have a revision library, is an online revision library.

I'm one of the lucky ones. Every version of Powerbar has worked for me.

I am waiting eagerly for the Conquest version of Powerbar. Any news of when it'll be available?

Scott:nuke:

I must of missed it so pardon my asking but what ever happened to Crusader joe?

The Powerbar didn't work for me, here are the stats on my system if it helps.

OS: Win XP Pro
RAM: 768MD
CPU: AMD 600 Duron
Video Card: 64MB 7200 Raedon ATI
HD: 2x 40gig

The type of Civ3 I am running is, Giv 3 gold which says 1.29f for the version.

Oh where? Oh where has my powerbar update gone? Oh where? Oh where can it be?
There are just some times when everyone needs a little Powerbar.:cool:

seems like i hv been waiting ages for the power bar

seems like i hv been waiting ages for the power bar

SOrry I think I posted twice by mistake

Pretty sure Joe retired a long time ago.

He said that he would try to work on it in his spare time, but as he has a wife and kids to take care of I'm sure that doesn't leave much time left. Oh well. Hopefully somebody will create a similiar trainer.

Well i guess he shouldn't never took the job then. Give it to someone else who WANT to update the Powerbar.

so, Spiderzord takes his time to build us this wonderful util. and you now say that he shouldnt have taken the job because he doesnt have the time to upgrade it when you want it?

yes.. we all want this to be compatible with conquests, but acting like an ass and demanding things is no way to get anything. if and when he gets the time, im sure it will be upgraded. til then... wait, like everyone else.

better yet, i can decompile the source if you want and then you can add the rest of the code and make it compatible with conquests?

Crusader Joe wrote the original PowerBar code. When he couldn't continue to update the program, he offered to sell the code for $5 to anyone who wanted to buy it.

SpidarZord not only has been gracious with his time and effort, he paid for the code and has done a great job with updates.

Conquests has had 3 updates with another in the works and people requesting Civ III Gold support - I am not surprised he hasn't been able to update the code.

But I really hope SpidarZord has time to update PowerBar soon.

There is the not-so-small matter of the conquests file strucutre not being finalised yet! Ie - it is very likely that any version that supports conquest will no longer support it once the next pathc is out!

xternal: You can make a copy of the original civ3 biq file and edit the civ3 biq file for now.

Plus that way you can "train" your file to do what ever you want.(within the parameters of the game)
and no need for updates.

Whenever I try to edit units, I get an "Unable to Apply Selected Filter" error.

To all concerned about PowerBar!!!

First, I will start by saying SpiderZord (with Crusader Joe's permission) will be sending me the PowerBar code and I will be taking over updating this great utility program.


With that said, let me lay a few things down.

I am 23 years old, work for the U.S. Air Force, and I'm married (no kids!!!). Thus, I will fix bugs, make updates and changes when I can! I have a feeling I have more time than SpiderZord has, however, please keep in mind that my wife and job do come first! By taking over this project I have promised NOT to sell the code nor make a profit off it as well as ensure, to the best of my ability, that Powerbar is NOT used for multiplayer, which it currently is set-up to stop!!!! I have also promised to do my best to provide an updated version of PowerBar to help the Civ III gaming community with a great Mod development and testing utility!


I will start a new thread in the coming days. I WILL NOT have a working powerbar out for atleast one month!! You read that right, one month! Whereas Visual Basic 6.0 is not new to me, memory offset programing is!! Please bear with me as I learn the source code, read e-mails from SpiderZord and figure out where he left off.



Now, the current posted version does not work for:
Civ III Gold
Civ III C3C

It SHOULD work for:
Civ III Vanilla (All patches)
Civ III PTW (All patches)


If you have those two versions and it doesn't work, you most likely need a VB runtime dll. When i start teh new thread, in a few days, I will include a link to get missing dlls and common runtime dlls for VB programs.

Again, please be patient and I will get you a working program.


David (nexushyper)

Great!

nexushyper,
thanks for taking the burdon! and good luck with offset-programming!

and ofcourse a big "thank you" to spiderzord for all the work he did in the past years of the powerbar!

Yeah!! More updates!!!
Thanks for your time.

Yes, thank you SpiderZord, and thank you CrusadrJoe for starting this great utility!!!!!


I just realized one additional thing. I do not have a copy of Civ III Gold and thus do not know if I will be able to get a working version of PowerBar for this.

I hope to get PowerBar to work for:
Civ III 1.29f
Civ III PTW 1.27f
Civ III C3C 1.??f (Depending on which patch is out once I understand PB)

Possible:
Civ III Gold (If I get a copy)


Again, thanks CrusaderJoe and Thanks SpiderZord!!

.....takes the torch!

@Nexushyper

if it's helpful to you I can send you some addresses of Civ3Gold ;)

BTW: check your PM ;)

I really think this is good for powerbar but Nexushyper if you ever run out of time or decide that you lost intrestest then I would be happy to take over your job. If anybody has anything to say just email me at hazerd280@aol.com.

O yes and if you need Civ3 Gold just email me and we can work something out.

A *HUGE* thanks to Nexushyper (and of course, CrusaderJoe where it all began)!

PowerBar has been an awesome experience. It will do the project well to get a fresh perspective again, besides just having someone with the time to dedicate to the project.

Thanks to the all the PowerBar fans for your continued support and willingness to help other users when I was out of touch.

Hang tight while I get Nexushyper up to speed and give him time to get the updates done!!!

.....it LIVES! :lol:

Best regards,
SpiderZord

Spiderzord-
Thank you for this awesome utility and all the work you've put into it.

Nexushyper-
Thanks for being willing and able to take up the torch and continue updating such an awesome program.
BTW-Where are you stationed?

I just wanted to know if the updated powerbar will contain any new features. Also i have heard of a Pirated powerbar going around. My friend found it the other day and it seems to work with conquests, i will try to find out where he found it. Just thougt you guys would want to know that someone has taken your design and is now giving it out. I will try to post it for the next reply but if i cant find it then i will have to get it later, but it probably wont even matter once the code is updated. Just thought you guys would want to know.

O yea and thank you very much for all the hard work you guys are putting in.

Hi guyz! great work making PB!!! BUT I seem to have some minor problems, one prob actually. I can't manipulate any units. I press the 'info' button but I get an error message every time I try to access the units, then PB closes down... Nonetheless it's a great editor, even without using this feature! Waiting to hear from you guyz!


PS: I run Win98 & classic CivIII (no expansions) forgive poor english, foreign language to me

dont worry i couldnt either on classic Civ but i could on ptw so try to upgrade

First read the posts above and make sure you have one of the currently supported versions that PN works for. Here I list it again here, Nilla 1.29f PTW 1.27f.


As for new features, again, I'll start a new posts soon and once I get a versions going I'll let you all know there! Thanks for the support and I doubt there is a TRUE 'pirated' version of PB. Maybe a program using teh same name (which they shouldn't be) but it isn't PB.


I'll keep you all informed.

I was just wondering when we can expect to see the new verison of powerbar

it might be a month i do beleive nexus saying in his taking over post

Yes, please give me some time. I'm 23 married, and have a job and just got the code today! So, I need to read through it, get some offsets, do some fixes, etc and you can look for it in about a month. At that time this thread will be closed and I'll start a new one!

Can we rush you with a Great Leader?;)

Seriously - thank you, and thanks to Spider Zord for all the great work he put into Powerbar. I've been using Powerbar for about a year and a half, and I've gotten 'hooked' on it! Now, with Conquests, I'm forced to do things like scroll through the cities screen and COUNT the number of cities I have :cry: .

Please, priority goes to making it compatible with C3C

I am glad that someone is taking up the Powerbar development.
Thanks for this and your service to the nation Nexushyper.

Hell yea America is the best country in the world and no one can F$#% with us, with out getting some kind of an ass kicking

oh dear...

wtf???


Ted

Enough off Topic please. Period!



Now with that said, anyone able to help me us WinHack2000?

I seriously need some help figuring out what I'm looking at with this program!!

Did you find help with winhack2000 yet

any news?

Guys it takes along time especially if you have other things to do beside sit infront of a computer for 12 hours. I dont no how long it takes for powerbar but I used to upgrade a Diablo II trainer and it takes for ever to fix ever file and upgrade all the codes. Keep the good work Nexushyper.

newbie here and I bought the civ 3 gold...I am behind you all 100% this game is a biatchtrygames.com can give you 120 minutes of it free...full version...buy for 39 bucks...auto download.

okay now it is time to ask for any news? What has it been like two months, forget it I will just make my own

Perhaps a selfish suggestion, I know your spending a lot of time updating this, but I was wondering if this new version of the Powerbar would be compatible with 1.00 of C3C, as my computer crashes with the newest patch. Understandable if you can't do that though.

just use that german guys trainer its no where near as good but at least it works with all versions.

you have 10k gold per use added and you can get the next science research done in a turn. which is genarly enough.

but boy I miss the every city build the same thing in a single turn and the ability to limit the advance or edit the gold of the enemy

never could figure out how to teleport though

I'm still getting that runtime error 9 sometimes.....I'm using powerbar 327 beta...I'm now playing CivIII downloaded from tyrgames.com that is updated to 1.29 any help powerbar pros?

why not use the 3.6 beta version?

when I hit the Unit button it says something about the filter not working...and I cant elite or su any of my troops. :-( and sometimes I get a over run? or something

Dont worry alot of people had the same problem, I really didnt follow it closely enough (i didnt use the unit bar) so i cant help you but all I know is that you are having the same problems as other people so I hope that the new pb will fix those problems.

So When is this thing going to be released? At least give us any info on where you stand in progress.

I think shortly sometime after hell freezes over:lol:

great tool, when will come out a working version of C3C?

I doubt a version for c3c will be released anytime soon :(

Come on!!!
It was February, the 9th when I last said "Any news?"
And still nothing!

some guy said hed take the project over for spider and then he kinda hasnt done anything, maybe he gave up.

cant use the earlier versions for conquests, or the gold cIII edition

I wish someone would do it though I miss the flexiblity of the powerbar. If I had any programing skill Id give it a shot but I cant program at all.

Damn It's been since jan.27 since the last time he posted. He hasn't even given us any news yet on where is is on this project. I mean if you say your gonna do the project then do it. I mean if you can't do it then don't voulenteer. What he did was just wrong to keep everybody waiting like this. I mean we could of had some one else who probably could do it right now but noone else will do it if they know someone else is working on it.

This guy hasn't even admitted yet if he is done, even started, or he can't do it. This guy is a loser if you ask me.[punch]

Let's get someone else here who an do the job! :scan:

I wouldnt call him a loser, perhaps he is sick or real life interveaned. I think he was in the military as well.. perhaps he got shipped out.. who knows

kudos for him for steping up to the plate at least he was going to make the effort.

Anyone else out ther want to have a crack at it since he seems to be AWOL?

Dude, being a vet myself I know what life is like in the military. From what I've heard his unit has been really busy. I don't think they deployed, but I know they've been doing a lot of real-world training.
That being said, I also miss PowerBar and if anyone else has any programming skill it would be appreciated if they would work on it for Conquests.

Hope someone fixes this trainer to accomodate this version.

C3C 1.15b.

bump

There's only one solution:
step 1 - find a volunteer skilled in programming
step 2 - contact SpiderZord and praise him to give the volunteer the source code

Okay-
To all those who read this forum:

If you have programming skills let the rest of us know. We are seeking someone with the skills and time to invest in making PowerBar compatible with C3C v1.15.

I wonder if Spiderzord will just upgrade it if we pay him. Money can buy anything or anyone.

By we I mean me........

i HATE TO GET THAT KINDA THING STARTED BUT ID CHIP IN $ 10.00 VIA PAYPAL TO THE PERSON WHO PROVIDED A FULL FEATURED WORKING AUTHERIZED VERSION OF POWERBAR FOR C3C 1.15

Does anyone know Spiderzord? I doubt he comes around here much anymore, which makes it difficult to get in touch with him.

Okay-
I'm in touch with someone(who shall remain nameless at this point) who has volunteered to take on the PowerBar project. However, he needs help with Winhack. So, if you know anything about how it works, PM me and I'll relay the info.

what the hell is winhack?

I spent some time last night trying to figure that out...turns out that it's a hex editor.

afaik it's a program that helps you locate positions in the memory that change... to isolate the right memory offset for a certain thing (like money, etc).

CCJsomethingsomthing created an own trainer and may have used this program, too..., maybe he's willing to help you out (he was very helpful towards my questions once!)

thumbs up, spiderzord...for me, the powerbar works both in PTW 1.21 and civ3 1.29, no problems so far, woohooo... [dance]

Hey, Er, How did you get the civ3 1.29 patch to run? I'm having a little difficultys with it, And when I tried to dl the PB it comes up with some error... Anyone assistance would be great

guys that is great news, i know someone who could be very helpful if you proved to have basic skills (community college computer teacher). Im not on to much, about 3 days a week but i will try to get info on how to work winhack and if you have any questions i might be able to take them so just pm me.

do you think you could work out a working version for c3c in april?

We're hoping to, but making no promises yet. Right now I'm in the process of enlisting the help of those who have used winhack before so that we can get this trainer out.

Edit: I can't believe we're up to v1.22 already with the C3C patch!

WTF Chuck!

Teknalee-
The main issue with winhack has been being able to figure out the memory offsets. If you could provide help in this area it would be appreciated.

now that there is a 1.22 patch that Mega trainer XL doesnt work anymore either. Never my favorite but at least it worked. I hope that guy updates it soon. being able to get a little extra gold or a bit faster tech was helpful.

now my MegaTrainerXL supports C3C V1.20 and V1.22 :smoke:

when i looked yesterday it didnt say that it did, nor does my version for 1.15 work

did you update it?

ah ha STEALTH patch :) I went to your website and indeed you have patched it, I noticed you mentioned you added a few features cant wait to see what they are :)

let me know what you think about the new functions ;) (maybe better in my thread than the powerbar-thread)

Cyberman's latest trainer worked for conquests 1.20. I haven't upgraded from 1.20 to 1.22 yet. Untill I find a decient trainer.

CCJ's isnt bad, it gives you gold and lets you complete a tech in a single turn, which should be enough to help you out if you get stuck. Its no POwerbar but hey its free and it does the basics.

Its not that easy you really need to talk to the writer of PB, he would have already figured out the memory offsets otherwise you will need to find someone with a hell of alot of skill.

Almost there guys. Still trying to figure everything out in winhack. It's definitely not an easy task.

Winhack in an incredibly powerful little utility, but I am an incredibly bad teacher, so I don't think I can help all that much.

The best advice I can offer is that if your contact has little experiance with game hacking, start with the easy stuff, like gold and science, its easy to find what the values are in game, and pretty simple to do a search for, once you have something working, you know your on the right track :)

For the more complex things (like playing arround with cities and units) I am not sure what you should look for, but I would guess there would be hints in the PB code, failing that, I'm sure there is something somewhere that shows how things are laid out in Civ3's memory space...

your right but there is an easy way to do it, go and ask either spiderzord or crusaderjoe, and if you cant find them then just go and find a civ tech at www.civ3.com. They might help you if you are nice. lol.

I was just wondering if you guys had any luck figuring out winhack and the memory codes.

there was some discussion about the unit trainer not working on powerbar 3.6 beta, but it seems to have gone nowhere. i am also having this problem, so i would like to try out 3.5 beta to see if that will work. does anyone know where i can d/l that version?

Hyacinth-
3.6 beta should work fine with regard to the units. I have 3.6 and haven't had any troubles. Was there a specific issue that you were referring to?

yes. the unit trainer does not seem to recognize any units. this can be seen by trying to apply the owner filter, to which the message "unable to apply filter" pops up. when all filters are removed, it appears that all the units are seen as "00000, Barbarian, Settler". further, on attempting to view the 'Unit Info' tab, i recieve a run-time error 9. i have seen these problems referred to in this thread, and the only conclusive note about this (posted on the first message) was that 3.5 beta does not have these problems.

update: i was able to find powerbar3.5 beta, and sure enough, the problems are gone. there was also a run-time error 9 with the teleport window, which is also gone now.

Can I get a copy of the source code for power bar from any one.
I think it was writen in visual basic. It would take a long time to start all over again.:crazyeye:

Thats good you got it working but not for conquests.

I merged your question into the thread. ;)

This project is on its third programmer I believe....

Is there any update to the info that someone is working on it? Even a BETA version would be better than nothing or what we have now.

Dave Dee

Ya true we've been waiting for ever. I'd take anything.


Action

To be honest guys I haven't heard from him in a little while so I'll touch base to see what's going on.

In the meantime, CCJ39 has developed a trainer that works with v1.22 for C3C. It's not PowerBar, but it does the job.

Ya CyberMan's +3 Trainer works with 1.22 but its no powerbar. I'm willing to donate $10 pay pal for anyone with a working powerbar for C3C 1.22






(Canadian Dollars :) )

Just an update:

Programmer just got out of the hospital, so work on PB will resume shortly.

Another update:

Progress is being made in figuring out the memory offsets. Optimistically, with playtesting, PowerBar should be ready for C3C by the end of the month. [party]

Excellent! :)

Thats is really great news, I hope the reason the programer was in the hospital worked itself out and I really am grateful for his work on powerbar.

Progress Report:

15 of 16 offsets have now been found! The programmer is having trouble with the last one, but should have it soon.

good, good - keep up the good work :)

Thats %#@$ing Great. I can't wait.

I am still working on this and am the programmer NateDawgNY is talking about.

First, I apoligize. I am in the military and SERVERAL unforseen events happened in my life!! I contacted NateDawgNY around the mid of April I believe. I am currently taking a Military Class that will be over 13 May!! I have been working on PowerBar for C3C and will continue to and also, at this point, have a lighter work load and can... CAN sit at home and work on this. I aplogize for teh delay and lack of response on my part. Life is life and it comes first!! Wife, life, God, my education and Military come before PowerBar so you all know!!

Second, I have managned to find most of the used memory offsets in order to update PowerBar. However, there is a LOT more to it than this. I went to test the offsets and found several places is the code that require additional offsets to the main offsets. I have e-mailed SpiderZord for help. I plan on getting a version out that works for Nill Civ III 1.29, PTW 1.27F and C3C 1.22 with that said, if I have more troubles it could delay it more. If I get help from SpiderZord it should go fast! I can not, due to the problems I am having with teh code, promise end of May for a release. I am hopefully that I can get you one by then... cross your fingers and I am and will continue to work this out!!!

Third, I was in the Hospital for one day with Kidney Stones!! It hurt, and that's all I say cuz it brings tears to my eyes just thinking of the pain!

Thanks for your patience!

That is really good and just for the record kidney stones really hurt....REALLY

Ok everyone a quick update (AGAIN). I spent the weekend working on powerbar. It seems to work 75%. What I mean by this is you can start it up for C3C, load the game, change gold info, complete techs, complete city production, use teh INFO button and get tile info, number units, techs known to each civ etc. However, a few things don't work and because I've been stuck on fixing those I don't know what else doesn't work.

What doesn't work is build roads/rail, clear pollution/jungle, change game year. I'm sure there is more, but I've been stuck on these so I haven't tested everything. I have tested 75% so that is where the number comes from. With that said, if someone could send me a saved game from C3C with all (or most) the land tiles covered in road/rail I would appreciate it. I'd do it in the editor but I don't have time right now.

Also, the version I release will be working for Civ Nilla 1.29, PTW 1.27f and C3C 1.22. If Gold edition doesn't work I'm sorry I don't have a copy of it to test!!

Again, please be patient and take care. I have a busy week ahead at work so I will work on it again this coming weekend and having it tested (I hope) by the end of this month at the LATEST.... I hiope!

Thanks Nexushyper for the work you are putting in on Powerbar. Please keep posting the updates, even if they are small updates.

Ok another update! Clear Jungle and Clear Pollution work!! Still having problems with the roads/rail though :(

Also, I found hidden in teh PB code another 30 offsets I need!! Not sure what they are for as everything excpet roads/rail/change game year seem to work. I'll keep you posted but if these turn out to be vital expect a delay!!


EDIT: as for teh roads/rails it looks like C3C uses different values for roads and also each tile is now 16 bytes longer!! May take some time to reverse engineer this one. Good news though, those offsets don't seem to play a big role YET! I may even post a Beta version tomoroow (minus a few things working I.E. roads) to tie people over till I get it all working!

You are flying on this! I'll see if I can whip up a save game real quick and shoot it over for testing.

Dudes it's 7:51 AM in Portugal, i'm leaving home now for school. i was asleeping as you were working :P great job. Keep up the good work

Ok, updated: I still have not completed the road/rail feature and teh change year does not work either. I am close to teh road/rail feature but still missing something! I'll work on the year later. With that said I am closing this post and starting a new one with the Beta version of PB for C3C..... I hope it works well for you guys!!


MODERATOR: Please close this thread. I know SpiderZord started it, however, he handed this project over to me and I'd like to start a new thread and close this one. Thanks!

i am running version 3.6 bata of the powerbar and version 1.29f of Civ 3
when i click on the units button i get an error message "unable to apply selected filter"
if i open the info window and click on the units tab i get the error message " Run-time error '9' subscript out of range" and then it crashes the PB

any ideas or segustions on how to fix this?

Is there a powerbar for conquests? Or did I just not see it?

Thanks,

Okay...you are the only poster on this forum for a little under a year...and I take it from you post that you can't read too well but try and click on nexushypers link above and that should answer your questions.

Thanks. Im acctually a good reader. Just ignorant and impatient. Thanks for pointing out that stuff.
