Many of you know me as a unit creator. Few people know that I am also a programmer.
I wrote this utility for fun. It helps mod creators to edit the diplomacy.txt file.
One problem with using notepad or wordpad to edit this file directly is that if you start sorting by civ, mood, and power, with diff. random choices you can get a very long list of text messages. This list can become very difficult to navigate without continually counting the messages.
This utility organizes the messages and creates a graphical breakdown of each diplomatic message.
This is how it works:
when you first start the program you are asked for the civ path. enter the path where civ is located and click ok
After that, the main window pops up.
You select a message, such as AIFIRSTCONTACT from the list on the left. Then you change the properties on the right.
For example, you can choose to sort by civ, sort by mood, and have 2 random choices for each. The list below that changes. The different graphics represent civs, power levels, moods, etc.
Click on a line and type a new message.
When you click on exit, you are asked if you want to save. click yes to save. When you save, the program automatically creates a backup of the current diplomacy.txt file called backup-diplomacy.txt
See screenshots of the utility program.
