AlanH said:Please note that Java will not be included as standard in future Mac OS X releases. Lion is due mid-year, and will be the first release affected. You will have to download the Java runtime in order to run Java software such as this editor.
More details here
According to Appleinsider, if you try to run a Java app on Lion, the OS will look for the latest version of the runtime and download it – with the user's approval.
I've continued to follow the thread even though there hasn't been time yet to actually try out the editor. I really want to. And hopefully the chance will come sooner rather than later. There are a couple of steampunk biqs that are close to being ready for rules editing. The maps are roughed out. The main drag is that I'm still working out how to carefully assign terrain slots to allow radically different graphics. "Do the connecting caves need more terrain types or the settled hollows?", "Can I get away with using lm grassland for the 'real' grassland so all the grass-based terrains are free to have a different base graphic?" and that sort of thing. Once that is done your editor will come in very handy.
As to Java: many of us will not be upgrading the OS right away. Furthermore anyone who can install a custom utility (like an editor) & get it working should be able to dl & install Java, imho.
Thanks for your work. Has there been any success in breaking some game limits yet?
Spoiler :Having trouble getting this to run. I'm using Windows 7 and the editor is in the same directory as Java.
Here's the cmd.exe screen:
firstRun=false
debugLevel=debug
firstRun=true
tags, I can use that to feed the editor exactly what your registry query is giving it, and hopefully that will explain what's going wrong. The [CODE] tags will be necessary so that tabs, spaces, etc. are preserved, which might be why it isn't working.
After that, just put the old civ3editor.ini back to its original name, and the editor will have all your old settings back.

It wouldn't run.
Another thing, as is it doesn't save install and scenario locations.
Here's the "old log" from the previous "firstRun=false" version.

MeteorPunch, I was able to test the editor in Server2008R2, which is the server version of Windows 7, and was able to figure out that the error you encountered is because Microsoft changed their registry utility to separate components with four spaces instead of one tab in either Vista or 7 (haven't tested in Vista, but my guess is that's where it changed). It's a bit more inconvenient to parse with spaces, since the install path can also contain spaces, but I've updated it so that auto-detect now works on Win7 as well, and the next release will include that update.
In the meantime, if you encounter any more issues, let me know. I'd been expecting that if anything OSX would cause cross-platform issues due to being significantly different from XP where I write the code, but go figure that it would be Vista that causes OS-specific issues!
Windows, keeping you on your toes!
Have you looked at maptweaker? Maybe there's some clues in its code? Where do we send the chocolate?I think I'll need to do the terrain modification on an enthusiastic day, perhaps with a more than ample supply of chocolate.
