Thanks!

I tried it and changed a savegame. I added several units(3 modern armors, 3modern paratroopers, one army) and loaded the data. I also change little things for the cities. Before, I have to tell you, that the units I added are not possible to build for my civ, because my civ was not so advanced. The changed data had 3,35MB , the original one 401KB. I don`t know if this information is important.

Well, when I loaded the data theses messages came.
DataI operation System Error: UNIT
DataI operation System Error: CULP or was it CILP, don`t know
DataI operation System Error: IDLS.

When I only change the units (add, delete units), only the IDLS message appears.

Thanks and good bye

Gramphos hasn't actually done any work on the Unit Creation Wizard yet.

I've not seen the CULP nor the CLIP section yet. But I can tell you that the adding units code safety is very low for C3C currently.

zulu, he meant in the sge

I'm doing some progress and have figured out the reason for the IDLS error. I've solved it for adding units, but haven't tried the deletion yet. It should be easier...

Version 1.07, the third, and probably last prerelease has just been posted on Apolyton.

I'm not posting this here, at least not tonight.

It fixes problems with unit add/delete in C3C + adds ability (per request) to edit attack, defemnce and bombard strength rules as well as moment of embeded rules.

Any testing is welcom, but do NOT report any saves said to be interesting by this version. they are simply too many.

Other changes are some internal language related changes in the process of cleaning up the language module of the tool.

So, are you getting to work on the UCW next?

Unless there are any bugs with the savefile implementation. But CDT will also have to be upgraded once I've verified the diplomacy related stuff.

It would help if someone reported the new flags related to PRTOs in C3C. I've only examinatedthe overall biq format, and not the meaning of every single flag, as I need to make the UCW C3C compatible.

What do you mean by reporting on the new flags? Tell you what they do in-game? I can do that

Nope, tell what the flags are in the BIX format. (In the format I posted at Poly it just says flags something, and no bitwiise intersection of what each flag is)

It isn't mush work, but I've many other things to do.

Just as an example on what flags I mean are Enslave, Stealth attack and other new unitflags

I don't understand. Am I supposed to be able to load Conquest save files? I haven't been able to do it with either 1.06 or 1.07.

I was just wondering, that's all. I really enjoyed using the program for CIV3 and PTW. I look forward to using it for C3C.

You have to enable untested features to be able to load C3C saves. (as stated when 1.06 were posted)

I've figured why my update to add BIQ support to the tool in general would screw up UCW, and will correct that for the next version which means that UCW again will work with PTW, + at the same level (i.e no new fields) work with C3C (I've tested it )

I just figured that I might not be able to make a new installer until easter due to the fact that the CD with Visual Installer is at my childhome, and not my student home.

Might do another type of installer but nothing that I can be sure of.

No setup as I said before. Maybe later, but don't count on it.

Hi Gramphos!

I tried again to add units in the SaveGameEditor. Once again after trying to load the file, this message was shown;

DATAI operation System Error: UNIT
DATAI operation System Error: IDLS

then the game ended automatically and I returned to the Desktop. I also changed the year and added some techs.

Do you have the unedited and edited save?

Also what patch version are you palying with and any mod you are using. The C3C add delete unit code is still considered experimental, but has been proven to work during my tests.

So I just unzip the contents to C:\Program Files\C3MT ?
