No help from me. And we'll see for how long you're back in this forum.

Is it some any kind of help possible in this case?

 

[stridder44]

LOL! Yeah, I had some similar problems with the editor too. So dont worry, your not alone

I got all those error messages - until i put it in the same folder AND upgraded the game to 1.21 . You can't use the 'multi save' cheat anymore but you can edit the maps and cheat that way!

Now my editor unexpectedly quit just a fex second after I launch it, so no help from me neither...

Bingo. It only works with 1.21g. If you've updated to 1.29 or something less than 1.21, or have installed GOTM files, then the editor is going to tank.

Basically, if you get a series of assertions in the editor like that, either your Civ3 install is screwed up, the editor isn't in your Civ3 folder or you're using the wrong version of Civ3 with the editor.

I have my Editor in a separate folder with a Civ3 install, patched to 1.21g. Have tried to add a Canoe unit (thanks DnG for those Add/Delete buttons, that are now working). Now, every time I try to launch the 1.21g civ3, it just 'unexpectedly quits' on me.

Everything in my other -- 1.29 -- folder + GOTM files works fine. Sheesh ... I must have done something wrong, but can't work out what it is? I did load the Zulu Units_32.pcx file to get more icons; the files inside the Canoe folder all match and there is an '.ini' file there as well.

I have Civ3 and the 1.21g patch and the 1.32.1 Edit all in the same folder and have restarted my computer and I still get the Assertion failed error no matter what action I take. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thank you,
Broinninn

I'm afraid the worse y're doing wrong is to use the editor in its present situation.

 

[Broinninn]

hmmm... maybe I will just have to wait a while
