Have you guys updated to the latest patch? And when you run powerbar, do you slect the correct pickbox to the version you are running?

dumb questions, but I had to ask. I can't think of another reason why it isn't working.

All I have to say is read the first post.

http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=1828658&postcount=1

SUPPORTS CIV III VERSIONS: Nilla Civ III 1.29, PTW 1.27f, C3C 1.22

If it isn't listed then it's not support.

So let me spell that out, Civ 3 complete is not listed, thus it is not supported.

It is not supported because I never bought Complete and thus never was able to get the memory offsets for Complete.

Besides, play Civ4! And this program is not intended to cheat with. You can cheat yourself if you get bored, you can make things harder for you, but that is it. Oh, you can test mods/scenarios with this.

You can not use this for Civfanatics competitions, AKA GOTMs. Cuz if you do, the mods for GOTM will know!


EDIT: For those that have posted and keep saying "I start Powerbar, I start Civ III, I start a game and press load and it doesn't fo anything." For all of you, LEARN TO READ INSTRUCTIONS.

Throughout this thread and in the powerbar help files that come with it, it clear states you MUST let Civ III run for one complete turn before you press load. It's like printing blank paper. Powerbar works by manipulating the memory Civ III uses, and thus if the game just load and no turns have been completed there is nothing in memory to manipulate!!

First of all thank you for your time and effort in coding this masterpiece!

Everything works great exept

1)I get the error with the 0000 Barbarian Settlers...and cant ever get any other units to load in the Unit Box.

2)Any sort of flying unit i.e. helecopter, ICBM, anything like that WILL NOT move out of the city, it just sits there...i've tried restarting my saved game w/o powerbar, ive tried fortifying the unit, then re-activating it and am not able to get it to work...any suggestions??

Thanks so much

I'm using civilization III complete, the three disk set, It's slighly different from the three individual dissks and they did something where conquests supercedes standard mode for notmal games or its integrated or something. I don't know this affects these patches and trainers, ecept that all three I've downloaded from this site don't seem to work on my game.

Specifically to this power bar, It loads up just fine, then I load up my game just fine, but when I press the load command on the powerbar, it (the whole bar) fades all grey, says "Loading..." at the top, and stays that way indefinitly. A different error message (not the one in your read me file) pops up if I try to click the help icon in the top center (which doesn't disapear like every thing else did) and then it automatically shuts the power bar off. Do you know what got buggered in complete that can be tweaked to allow this to work properly. I'd very much like to give it a whirl. Even not so much to hurt the rivals (except perhaps germany that keeps beating me to the colosus) so much as to get my own folk up to scratch a little faster than I've otherwise been able too.

Either PB doesn't work with your version or you didn't follow directions, See Post #254 in this forum.

I tried all three buttons one after another. The power bar never leaves the loading screen. I did rename my civ though.

Well that's disapointing. I liked the description of this trainer. I don't suppose anyones offered to buy you a copy of complete (perhaps via an amazon wishlist) fot to make one that works for that program? I'd spot you it for the chance to make all my tiles roaded and irrigated and mined and to beat germany to the colosus.

Aug 11, 2006, 05:06 AM
No, I definitly followed the directions it's that complete isn't one of those three listed options afterall. I thought/hoped one/each of them would be included in the complete set, but apparently complete counts as its own thing (though I do have the seperate patches for each part that was listed).

Hopefully, there will be a way to modify one that will work for complete.

Well,

Your other option is to buy civ4. They have a world builder cheat mechanism built right in. You can manipulate everything. Also by changing one word in some .ini file you can add gold to your civ. But, that would mean the germans beat you to collosus in your current game. lol.

I bought civ3complete cause it was $20 for all three vs civ4 which was $50 for just the first disk, (no expansion pack). Also, my computer is 2001/2002 model. I meet the requirements for civ3, but civ4 might be too new to work properly on my old computer.

yeah, if you have an old compo, don't get civ4. wait till you upgrade your compo. By that time, maybe they'll have civ 5.

Powerbar does not work with Civ III Complete.

Maybe someday when i have more time I can get Complete and find teh memory offsets and update Powerbar.

At the current time, with work, a house, a wife. My time is full. Then there is Search and Rescue, HAM radio, and when I want to relax, Civ 4 and Anarchy Online.

I do want to get back to coding software so maybe sometime in the near future I can get back to working on this and about 6 other VB projects I wanted to finish.

Complete had Debug mode available in the editor. You can turn this on, and it will give you gold, techs, and some other stuff. I've never used it, but there should be a help entry for it in the editor.

Perhaps you could pass it on to someone that has the time for such things.

Hi, I need some help here, can someone explain to me on how to use the super unit option because I don't understand how to use it as in I don't understand the time interval thing and I put it on 0.100 but I never get a super unit

I hope that since nothing has been posted for about 3 months, you are hopfuly working on it (not to be a nosey:lol: ) or may be you could pass it off to someone else to work on it. I wish it world work with Civ 3 Complete.
Well I just hope that this is not the last post for PB. Lets keep it alive.

If continued, disregaurd this post and my spelling.

The SU box just means that your units have unlimited movement and they can never lose a combat - hence a "super units". There is no specific unit created as a superunit - all of your units become superunits.

When is the Trainer for civ4 BTS coming out??

CCJ39
Aug 11, 2007, 10:38 AM
as written 9 days ago: MegaDev-Board (http://www.ccj39.com/cgi-bin/ib3/ikonboard.cgi?;act=ST;f=26;t=754) ;)

but I've also read about different DLL-files between US and European BtS V3.02... the trainer works with the exe-file, but the addresses I need to modify are included within the dll loaded by game-exe... so I don't think the trainer will work with other versions than the European 3.02 (same effect already known with Mods using own CvGameCoreDLL.dll, e.g. for 34Civs or else)

for this reason and the one of the linked thread above, the BtS-update probably will be for the next BtS-patch first

I'm curious! Has anyone in the U.S. been able to use the Mega Trainer XL on Civilization 3 Complete? I click on start and get an error message that I don't have the game loaded. What does "set money to cities on map" do? Also, what about "money to units on the map" and "game turn +1" or "game turn -1"? It looks like a great trainer if it ever works.

CCJ39
Aug 13, 2007, 03:03 AM
I don't own Civ3Complete myself (only the single game and addons), so this trainer-entry was created with help of a guest-member and tested by 3-5 other persons at that time... I don't know today, if there were only European or only US or mix of tester...

however, there're a lot of possible reasons for your problem

- what's your OS?
- do you use Firewall/AV-software?
- does the trainer work on other games for you?


if the start-button isn't working, you can run the game yourself, this button is only an additional feature

set money to cities on map: your money will be set to value equals the number of cities on map, so you know how many cities have been build (and if I remember correctly howmany cities left up to the limit by this way... 512 or something like this)

money to units on the map: same as the city-cheat, but this time with units

game turn +/- 1: in game you can see the year you're currently in, but the game is showing you this year by knowing the turn you're in... if you change the games turn, you will be forward or backward one or more years per turn... you can use it to speed up to the end of game by turnlimit or to hesitate the end out

I finally made it work! Maybe someone else who is having trouble useing the trainer for civ 3 complete can try this:
1. Start your game. (You can go to one you have saved or start a new one.)
2. When you are ready to use the trainer, (i.e. you have at least one city) click on Alt+Tab and go to the desktop and find the icon for the trainer.
3. Start the trainer and a shield about 4 inches by 4 inches should superimpose over your game map. Go to the "pull down" on the shield and select "Civilization 3 Complete". The trainer will now be operative.
4. Select the "cheat" you wish to use and press Alt+F# that corresponds to your chosen cheat. At this time, click on the map screen and you should then see that the trainers action has been taken (you will see that you have more money or you have 1 turn left to learn a new tech).
You can use the trainer again by pressing Alt+Tab and doing step 4 again. I hope this has been helpful to anyone trying to use the trainer.

[QUOTE=rendragdivad; You can use the trainer again by pressing Alt+Tab and doing step 4 again. I hope this has been helpful to anyone trying to use the trainer.[/QUOTE]

I would think that if the trainer works with C3C that you wouldn't need to alt-tab after running it. Just press the alt-F# for the cheat you want.

I don't have C3C, so I can't try it. (I have the original + addons)

Timelord:
I tried useing your suggestion and it didn't work. In order to learn a new tech each turn, I have to repeat step 4 each turn.

CCJ39:
The trainer works fine and I really appriciate the work that has gone into it; however, the trainer would be great if there was a way to speed up the completion of wonders since the player can't use money to complete them. Will there ever be a way to do this?
Another idea I had was to add the ability to create units such as settlers in a square that an exploring unit occupies when he finds a good place for a new city. This was possible in Civ II when in cheat mode.
Again Thanks for bringing the trainer to our attention.

I only own the main game and addons, not the Gold or Complete edition... for this reason all cheats for such special editions were created by guestmembers and it was hard enough to explain unexperienced people how to get the needed information for simple cheats... sorry, but I don't think there's a way to add such cheats to Civ3Complete or Civ3Gold at this time anymore

Sorry to wake a sleeping thread, but...

Any chance we could get source posted here, or on SourceForge or somewhere? I'm always looking for opportunities to code, and I'd be quite happy to try to get PB running for C3Complete.

Besides, it's the holiday season, and I've got a ton of time off, and not much to do with it all. :)

I have just installed the new Windows 7 evaluation program and although I have surched high and low for a solution I can NOT get this program to work.

I followed these instructions

Download MSCOMCTL.OCX to desktop

Using your mouse, click on the "Start" button and then click on "Run".

copy

regsvr32 \windows\system32\MSCOMCTL.OCX

press OK

keep getting error message-this worked with all other operating systems (32bit).

So would someone have an alternative trainer for CivIII

Thanks love this game but I am very crap at it without Powerbar.

I want an editor that can do more than just complete research quickly, give me extra cash, and maybe rewind time or something. I like the PowerBar because it provides a more coherent and cohesive system for such a complex game.

And how the hell am I supposed to use PowerBar if it doesn't work on Vista and yet the game does?
