Civ Assist

Are you using old calculations for corruption? I was playing around with the palace location in the corruption tab, and the best spot for my capital turned out to be an isolated and currently useless city I only captured to get a luxury. This would make sense with the old rules for rank corruption, but not in PTW or C3C.
 
The rank corruption bug still applies to PTW - its only C3C that it doesn't for.

That said - the corruption calcs are by no means perfect. But whilst it won't give exact figures, they should be rough-enough. I'm not surprised that the palace is best located in the most remote location -> this WILL be the rank corruption bug taking effect. Unless its C3C that you tested it on :confused:
 
It was in C3C, the Rise of Rome conquest. Are you using different formulas for the three versions (civ3, PTW, C3C)?
 
What determines which formula is used? I am guessing it depends on which folder the saves are located, or maybe it depends on what selection you make when you start the program. To be honest, this looks more like the Civ/PTW formulas are beeing used than a few problems with your C3C formulas. I get 300 corruption with my capital in Rome and only 70 if I move the capital close to Egypt where I have a lonenly city.

It's a great tool though, thanks for taking the time to make it.
 
I just discovered your utility and tried it.
I am currently playing PBEM games when I tried these it says it doesn't support MP games.
OK but the pop up error box won't go away. The program gets stuck in a loop and I had to use ctrl-alt-del to shut it down. It looks like it:
tries to load the file
produces error
tries to load the file
etc
I supose it is only a problem once as I won't use it to open those files again. But you might want to have a look when you have a moment.
 
Yes, ainwood knows about that. :) Right now it only works with single player - another way you can exit out is if you click yes to the warning, and then quickly hit Alt - F4 (exit).
 
OK cheers. Also I sussed that it can see pbem games if I load up a single file in the beginning, it was just while trying to change that the problem occurred. Not complaining though excellent helper, will save loads of time.
Keep up the good work.
 
Ainwood-

You have ruined my enjoyment of MP Civ3. I can’t play without CivAssist anymore!! Oh, well. I didn’t play MP very much anyway. I would like to thank you for all the time and effort you have put in on this really nice utility.

But … you knew there was a “but” in there didn’t you? … I think I have found one small, but aggravating, problem. In both of my last two games one of the civs was eliminated early on before I discovered ether the dead civ or the conquering civ. Example: Long before I discovered the continent they were on Persia destroyed India. There was a little pop-up window saying something to that effect at the time. The problem comes when I finally do discover Persia and contacts are tradable. CivAssist insists that Persia has contacts to trade, but there isn’t any. I am assuming that it sees the missing India civ. This wouldn’t be a problem if it only happened at that time, but it happens every turn for the rest of the game. It’s not a fatal error or anything, just distracting, since I have come to depend on the Alerts for the micromanagement.

Thanks again for a cool utility.

i'm getting a "file not found" error, looking for beast.dll
trying to use this util in a custom scenario.

it's the newest version of conquests and the save works fine with mapstat.

any ideas?

thanks in advance and cheers!
 
thanks to your advice i found it. beast.dll was size 0 in the system32 directory. after manually deleting the file a reinstalling, it worked fine.

why don't you place the library locally in the civassist folder?

thanks again and cheers!
 
I have just noticed that everytime I try to install a program, that first checks if the program already is installed - and then either begins the installation or starts the program - then, instead the installation program for Civ Assist (the newest version) begins. I do not know if it is your install program that has corrupted something or if it is just windows that is odd - but do you have any ideas?
I can still install the programs, I just have to manually find the right setup file.

Its in the system folder, because its a shared DLL (with GameSettings extraction, for example).

true... but who cares about 24kB nowadays? :lol:
and you get potential difficulties when 2 different versions should be required ;)


anyhow, great tool! and in combination with CpMapStat paradise for micromanagers :D

one request: could you make the frame resizeable? most things fit, but the 20k culture screen does not and requires horizontal scrolling. most others at least require vertical scrolling

and one technical question: by clicking on the column headers the lists get sorted by that category. may i ask you if that's a standard library feature?
and if so, what base class library are you using? .NET framework or MFC or other. and what is the class for this sorted grid with header called.

thanks and cheers!

The reason that there hasn't been any updates to this thread in a while is that there is a new version in the works - resizable frames are one of the new features.

and one technical question: by clicking on the column headers the lists get sorted by that category. may i ask you if that's a standard library feature?

Its actually a standary VB 6.0 common controls ListView control. Sorting of lists is supported, but unfortunately it assumes that everything is a string data type. How I've got it to sort numbers is actually by some code I found on codeproject (or somewhere similar). It takes a copy of the entire list, parses it to a sortable format, sorts it and puts it back to the listview. Its a pain, but that's all I could do with the limited control functionallity.

I'm really not sure what would cause this! Do you download files to a directory then install them, or do you choose "run" from the box that appears when you start the download?

I download them first.
