Crash and burn: Civ3Edit

[hyperbaldie]

The Original version of civ3edit keeps crashing - how can I make it stop???

 

[hyperbaldie]

whenever I edit civilizations or units, etc. on the original civ3edit (without the expansions) I try them out on civ3 and it keeps crashing! I'll go crazy!!!

Need more information.

What did you change?

When does it crash?

 

[hyperbaldie]

what's rl?

 

[hyperbaldie]

The things I change are:

1-civilizations/tribes (e.g. names and traits)
2-advances (science and that)
3-units (e.g. changing their names and abilities)

what's rl?

rl=real life. It's part of a signature, not part of a reply to your question.

 

[hyperbaldie]

Oh... I get it now

Well, you still haven't told us when your game crashes.

Does it crash when you open the game? Or does it crash only when you try to access your new units? Or maybe it crashes during the AI's turns.

In general though, if you haven't used the editor before, I'd recommend NOT changing too many things at once. Try changing one unit at a time, testing it, then go on to the next.

Also, when you do make a change, especially when making a new unit or a new tech, you need to compare your new unit/tech with something similar that already exists, and making sure that all the required fields are filled out.

oh, sorry. It crashes when I start. To the second .
