Civ3 1.29 beta 2

[Wolp]

Just a quick note on a better resource editor for file types and creator than Resedit. I use Filegeek for changing the save games to mac style in OS9.1. Always had trouble mucking around with Resedit and found Filegeek on macupdate.com . All you do is launch it and drag the offending PC file into the Filegeek window and type in the Civ3 file type and creator (GAMs Civ3) case sensitive. You can even save this as a preset and just select it from a list.

Had a rough time of it with GOTM before I found this little gem. Just my $.02, hope it helps.

I am completely baffled about why this broke with 1.29. I didn't touch any of the keyboard handling code.

Can you reinstall 1.21g now and see if it works? I've actually got a hunch that something in OSX busted in one of the recent 10.2 updates.

Brad: It is a 1.29 issue. I still have a copy of 1.21g on my system (MacOS 10.2.6). I'm using a German keyboard layout. In 1.21, zoom is done by the "z" key, whereas 1.29 requires me to use the "y" key.

Brad: another small(?) issue: In the city display, there are 2 small icons for "draft citizen" and "hurry production". When flipping thru the cities with right/left arrow, the "draft" icon is not updated. I.e., when you start with an above size 6 city, "draft" is also shown for size 1 cities. You may click it, but it has no effect.

PS: This is also true for 1.21g.

The game chashed on me while the AI was playing. Here's the crash log:

Hey,

So has anyone else been having a problem with crashes from the Diplomacy screen (F4)? It happens to me fairly regularly that if I'm speed-clicking thru different leaderheads (checking to see if anyone has new techs, etc) that it'll suddenly crash the game when I click on someone. Never on the first time, though.

If I pause a bit between closing diplomacy with one leader and clicking on the next, it doesn;t seem to crash.

This has happened on my beta1 and beta2.

I had a crash (first since a long time) while switching thru the Fx screens (sorry, can't remember exactly which one). I had played quite a number of turns in gotm20 in the 14th century (i.e. it was quite busy already):

[stridder44]

Okay, this is going to be an extremlly stupid question, but what is this? Is this the next game update or is it an editor? Heh...damn, I feel dumber already...

 

[tao]

This is the update bringing Macintosh Civ III 1.21g to version 1.29 (the last non-PTW version for the PC world).

 

[stridder44]

Ah thank you, I thought so

 

[stridder44]

By the way, Brad, I've been using this patch and have to say that it is in good working condition. Sure there are some bugs to be worked out, but your efforts are sure showing off. Thank you very much! We all apreciate (spelled wrong) it!

 

[nmcul]

I hate to be a bother, but I've got a problem. The game keeps crashing to desktop when I finish giving orders to a certain unit. I believe the unit may be whatever unit is last on my move list, but I'm not sure. It may be important to note that I'm using a mod, Leo's "Firepower Mod."

Here's the .sav file. Currently, either the worker due south of my capital or the galley will trigger the problem; forfeitting their move by prematurely ending the game by clicking the hypno-button on top of the status bar will avoid the problem. I'm also zipping the .bic file and the crash log in a second file.

Actually, the .sav itself is 168 KB and will only get down to 148 KB, bigger than the limit. Can I mail it to you? The whole thing's only 160 KB zipped.

If you are using the 1.29 beta then Brad's email address is in the readme (I made that mistake as well!)

Alternatively you can upload bigger files to this site by using the Upload File button right down at the bottom of each page, then post a link to them here.

 

[nmcul]

Thanks, that works. Here's the file:
workercrash.zip

 

[AlanH]

nmcul: I'm not in any position to debug your problem, though I thought I might try to see if it is reproduceable to help Brad narrow down the cause. However, the mod pack you mentioned is not easily visible in the mod packs forum to my weary old eyes. Do you have a link to it?

 

[nmcul]

It should be in the file. It's called cavpara_GSU.bic (why, I have no idea), and I actually found it another Civ 3 site. The changes are not obvious at first, because ancient era has virtually no changes, and there isn't any "new" stuff in it, unit- or building- or government-wise. But look at the units part of the civilopedia and you'll notice the difference. Unless it starts crashing.

Hey, my 100th post!

Hey, my 100th post!

Well, I just loaded up your .SAV file into my standard (non-GOTM) Civ3 setup, and I moved every available unit with no problems. So I would suggest reinstalling your Civ3 and applying the patch again.

From your crash log I notice you are on an old version of OS X - 10.2.1. I would strongly recommend moving on up to the latest and greatest 10.2.6. Apple have fixed a lot of bugs and improved performance and features in those nine months and five releases.

The 'poedia in your game shows that cavalry upgrade to paratroopers, so I guess that's the origin of the cavpara part of the .BIC file name. Now I'm stuck with an image of horses drifting out of a cloudless blue sky on the ends of parachutes, complete with sharply dressed cavalry officers in full ceremonial armour and high plumed helmets carrying their swords at high port.

@Brad: in this thread we have an iBook owner needing 800x600 resolution, which seems to be not availabale. Any chance to have it in the next beta?

Nope, it'll never happen. Too much of the game is dependent on a minimum resolution of 1024x768.

 

[nmcul]

It didn't work. I updated my OS and reinstalled Civ 3, and the thing is as bad as ever.
