Civ III Diplomacy Editor

[bnmac3]

Greatest thing since the Multitool....thanks its awsome

 

[kring]

I can't wait to try it out. I have been wanting to make the possibility for using a few more of the civ packs out there.

 

[pesoloco]

I'm glad you all like it so far. I am working on extending some of the features to save typing and cutting/pasting. I want to make it so when you change a setting on a message, the affected quotes are moved appropriately.

 

[kemal69]

Ths is a great utility pesoloco. I didn't realise it had been updated so much, I have been using v3.41 for a while.

Good to see ongoing support for the utility!

 

[Isak]

Just want to add my own praise to the choir here - brilliant work Pesoloco.

My only gripe is: Why didn't you tell me you did this

 

[kemal69]

Constructive criticism: I have noticed when you copy/paste something into a field for a message if you don't press enter, when you leave the field the changes are not saved. ie. it reverts to the precopy/paste message.

Sorry if you already know about this...

Thank you for letting me know about this glitch. I did not know that was going on. I will take a look and have a fix ready ASAP.

 

[kemal69]

any luck with this glitch pesoloco? I know you have been pretty busy, but it never hurts to ask! heh

 

[pesoloco]

i'm sorry, I did work on this, but forgot to post!

I was unable to duplicate your problem on my own machine. I cut text from one field and pasted it in another. I didn't notice any strange problems as a result.

Can you explain exactly how it happened?

 

[kemal69]

hmm Maybe its Windows XP, what version of windows do you use?

It happens every single time I do it.

Here's how it happens:

I click on an existing string for another civ, right click then click copy.

I click in the empty string field, right click then click paste, if I then click elsewhere the text dissapears, however if I hit the enter key first then click elsewhere its ok.

The same happens if I click in an existing string and edit it, if I just click elsewhere it reverts to the original, if I hit enter then click elsewhere its ok.

Weird huh. It also happens on my work pc, boith run the same version of Windows XP.

Hmm. Did you get the new version of it? Maybe you still have the old one. I am using Windows ME and 2000.

I wasn't right-clicking though. I was using CTRL+X (Cut) CTRL+C (Copy) CTRL+V (Paste)

I will try it your way and see what happens.

 

[pesoloco]

kemal, you are right. I will fix it tommorrow when I have more free time.

 

[kemal69]

wow. so it doesn't happen if you use ctrl keys? I will try that... And yes definitely new version, it happened in the older version too though.

 

[pesoloco]

OK. I fixed it. small minor error. No need to wait till tommorrow.
I apologize for any trouble it may of caused anybody.

HERE IS THE VERSION 3.62 PATCH

 

[Amadan]

Just ran across this program.
Have a diplomacy.txt file someone made that has generic responses for 31 civs (don't rember where I found it), and this will be perfect for making thim more civ specific without going insane!

 

[kemal69]

Hey pesoloco! Awesome! That was a quick fix.

Amadan, that diplomacyt txt with the 31 civs in it is a good starting point, but I did notice when I loaded it up myself that the guy who edited it had missed quite a few responses, just something to be aware of.

 

[pesoloco]

I have a diplomacy.txt file for 16 civs that I have already added over 1000 new messages. I still want to add more to every possible message. When I finish it I will post it.


A few examples:
When you are the stronger civ and you try to threaten a weaker civ to give you something for nothing:
"This is the deal of a lifetime! Refuse it and your lifetime will be shorter!"

Or when you ask for a loan:
"Why would I give you our hard-earned money if you can't even take care of your own? Perhaps you need a second job?"

 

[nonnob3]

You mean to tell me by using Pesoloco's editor and adding new civs to the game is much easier with no errors showing up on the diplomacy screens?
Don't have to work on directly on the diplomacy.txt ?
WOW!!!!!!!!
!

I installed it, then when I wanted to start it it said:

Run-time error '76'

Path not found




What does that mean, what should I do to fix this?

OK, what that means is that the path in which the program is looking for the Civilization diplomacy.txt file is incorrect.
It cannot find the diplomacy.txt file.
In order to fix this you would need to remove the Diplomacy Editor from the registry. This can be tedious and dangerous if you delete the wrong thing. I will go make an update right now that will fix your problem.
