Hi! I have an error when i added a new unit:

Well, you are just a teensie bit light on detail of what you were doing when you had the crash, so I'm making wild guesses . But it looks as if you might have been settling a new city, and the software is trying to draw it for you in the city view screen. I'm guessing from the routine names that are called that it's having trouble drawing the unit that you had escorting the settler. If so the icon required to draw that unit in the city screen is wrongly specified somewhere.

 

[JackA]

Well i have a save i think.I was settling a city and then Civ3 quit.Now you have an idea of what i was doing

 

[AlanH]

Well, that's a small titbit , but you haven't confirmed the rest of my guessing. Was the settler being escorted by your modified unit? If so, can you let me have the following items, zipped up together? Just make a New Folder and copy them into it, then use DropStuff or the OS X Finder to make the folder into a single Archive. I need copies of:

1. The save from the start of the turn where you built the city and it crashed. If this is an autosave then zipping it will compress it OK, or you can load it up and make a manual save that is compressed by Civ3.

2. The pediaIcons.txt file that you are using.

3. The modified unit folder from your Art folder - not the complete Art folder, that's way too big

if you can upload it as an attachment here then that would be great. If it's too big then you'll have to email it as an attachment to alanh (at) gotm (dot) civfanatics (dot) net

PS. Were you playing this in Civ3 version 1.21 or version 1.29?

 

[JackA]

Civ 3 1.21/Juust load the save and try to settle a city.I sent the files in a zip to you.But Mail says your email address is not a vaild one but i sent it anyway.Do you think i could take a Civ3 1.29 editor for Pre my CIv3 1.29 with the PC version in it? I am desiging scenarios for a modded game which requires the PC CivEdit.

 

[AlanH]

Did you change the (at) and (dot) to the relevant characters wth no spaces, to make it into a valid address?

Sorry if I confused you. I never publish email addresses in plain email format because it feeds the spam harvesters. I should have made it clear, but I thought everyone knew what a real email address looks like these days.

 

[JackA]

Oh Oh i know now!

 

[AlanH]

Does that mean you are going to send it again, to the real address? I haven't seen it yet

 

[JackA]

Yes i have sent it to you.The problem ws i had a dot after the at.

 

[AlanH]

Thanks! Got it I'll take a look at it today.

 

[AlanH]

I've had a quick look at the files you sent. Interesting scenario. I guess you need the new diplo unit - Pregnant Chad - A/D/M = 10.0.0. And what are the stats for the Democrat UU, the Intern?

First off, I fired up Civ 1.21g and loaded your start file with no problem. I suggested that the settler might like to build Washington DC, and he did, and I played forward for a few tums. If you choose to build a B52, which is an option from day 1 (no oil or aluminium required? ) the city proceeds to build it. I tried finishing the B52, but I guess it needs some population to complete it - i seems to be based on a settler, so maybe it needs pop 3 in the town? Anyway, I certainly didn't see a crash.

The main things that strike me, as a software guy, not a Civ editor expert, which I'm not, are:

- Looking at the unit folders you sent, they include graphics as .jpg and .gif, but I don't think these are compatible with Civ3. Civ3 uses .pcx as the static graphics file format. I guess these are in your /art/civilopedia/icons/units/ folder?

- There are .wav and .flc files in the unit folders. The .wav files look OK, but many of the .flc files open in Quicktime player ... but they shouldn't. Civ3 uses a non-standard .flc adaptation to stick eight different frame sequences together in a single file, and QT Player doesn't normally know how to play these files.

So, bottom line is I can't reproduce your problem, even though I probably don't have all the files you have ( maybe one of those is faulty? ). It looks like the scenario definition of the unit may be faulty in the .BIC file, as it shouldn't be possible to build it before you've found oil and aluminium, and it seems to need some pop points to build it. I know Boeing are hard task masters, but that seems a bit OTT These don't seem to be killer problems though.

 

[JackA]

What do you suggest i do? By the way i have 1.29b2 on my hard drive.I am playing Bluebox's GOTM mod.Now thats something

 

[AlanH]

Reinstall 1.21g? Not very inspired, I know, but since mine works and yours doesn't ... The only other thing that's different is that you probably have the /Art/civilopedia/icons/units/xxxx.pcx files for the Canberra and B52. It might be worth removing them so that yours is the same as mine, then trying it. But the pediaIcons.txt file you sent me doesn't have the references to them, so your installation may not even know they exist.

Option B is to add the pediaIcons.txt entries as defined in the <unit>.txt files.
