Thanks a lot to all guys who've make new units, any sort of graphics, maps, modes and utilities.
These works induce me to write Civ3MM in the hope of make your (and my) life slightly easier.

Thanks to those who will use Civ3MM and help me with bug fixing (expected a lot of big and fat bugs).

Thank you, Mendax!

I think that it's better to upload 100% complited beta-version with HTML help support.
I'm afraid that Civ3MM can be qite difficult to understanding without help.

But I'm sure that app still contain a lot of bugs and hope that you will help with bugs fixing when it will be uploaded.

Of cource every utility that does sometihng I wanted to add to C3MT makes my todo list shorter. On the other hand sometimes it doesn't stop me (I remember when starting my SGE coding, there were already two SGEs my the time, but I thought I had worked so mush on the save format that I wanted to realize something of it, and now my SGE is the only SGE, but it isn't working as good as I want it too, so you can feel safe that I won't steal your idea (other that what already is in C3CT in form of exporing and importing rules))

[Cyber Dreyk]

Gramphos, your C3CT is great!
My favorite is Civilopedia editor. It's really VERY useful utility and your reach edit quite good.
I have planned to add something like that in one of the next version of Civ3MM.

[silverhead_696]

Wow Great, that's gonna be AWESOME to have finally an MOD editor !

Great Job man !

[Cyber Dreyk]

Thank you!
But this job isn't finished yet!

[silverhead_696]

Yeah I know... but Im glad that someone though about this !

And damn that I can't wait to use it !!!! Lol

[Cyber Dreyk]

Just a little patience, my friends!
It's almost done. I believe that will finish Civ3MM at the beginning of May.

[Cyber Dreyk]

Well, now Civ3MM is uploaded.
As I have promised, at the beginning of May.

Look at it, touch it and say me, what do you think about it?!

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Ok, now I'm downloading. Give me some time and I give you my opinion...

[Cyber Dreyk]

Thank you all for the first replies!

Your opinion is very important for me.
Please, post your comments, suggestions, questions etc.

Great! Thank you for your work.

There is a problem with the Script.txt. I have created a new C3C scenario with your tool. I imported the Conquests.biq and the required text files. The Script.txt is identified as PTW file, but it is the original file from the Conquests Text folder. Note, that I use a CIVIII/C3C version in German language. It is not possible to create a C3C scenario as long this problem exist.

Here is the Info:

1. Scenario file path:
E:\Games\Civilization III\Conquests\Scenarios\Aluminium's MOD.biq

File type: Civilization III: Conquests

File version: 12.06

2. Scenario search folders list:
E:\Games\Civilization III\Conquests\Scenarios\Aluminium's MOD
E:\Games\Civilization III\Conquests
E:\Games\Civilization III\Civ3PTW
E:\Games\Civilization III


3. Civilopedia.txt file path:
E:\Games\Civilization III\Conquests\Scenarios\Aluminium's MOD\Text\Civilopedia.txt

4. Pediaicons.txt file path:
E:\Games\Civilization III\Conquests\Scenarios\Aluminium's MOD\Text\Pediaicons.txt

File type: Civilization III: Conquests

5. Script.txt file path:
E:\Games\Civilization III\Conquests\Scenarios\Aluminium's MOD\Text\Script.txt

File type: Civilization III: Play the World

Attention! The Script.txt file type is different with Scenario file.

6. Labels.txt file path:
E:\Games\Civilization III\Conquests\Scenarios\Aluminium's MOD\Text\Labels.txt

Hello,

I had a similar problem; in the options pane, scenario tab (from the tools menu... if I remember correctly), you have a checkbox with say something like "allow different file type for SCenario and text files" which you should check to avoid the trouble you meet.

PS : gret tool Cyber Dreyk !!
