Thanks for the test to confirm that! I'm going to build a better clipboard soon. We have come this far, I'm not going to let the stupid clipboard to stop us.
I'm happy with it the way it is, I just wanted to confirm my suspicion. Now I know it's OK as long as I don't accept too many maps it's easily avoidable. Don't spend lots of time on this when you could be doing something more interesting!Moonsinger said:

So far, I haven't found any better function for capturing the screen yet...I'm going to take your advice and go easy on that for awhile. FYI, after about 23K iterations, my system was shutdown by power failure. Oh well, that is the longest time (about over 4 days) I have ever run MapFinder none-stop with C3C. I got 112 acceptable maps but only 5 of those got 2 cows at the starting position.
I'm going to do the tablesort for the report and fix the miss-leading message that Tzar found the other day. I will have that update ready when I get home tonight.

Dianthus & Moonsinger:
I would like to add my thanks to all your work on this truly inspired utility application.
I would like to add my Vote for #1 sorted
I would also like the idea of bonus grasslands sometime in the future.
I look forward to getting the newest version tomorrow, if everything goes according to Moonsingers plans.

What I want.
What I expect.
What I get.
Are usually three completely different things!

Sorry! I forgot all about the bonus grassland.
I guess I could cut a version tonight and another one for bonus grassland later.
Great catch on the clipboard problem Dianthus! I hadn't input any criteria in for Mapfinder before running it lately and it was crashing after 100 maps. Now that I've tightened the restrictions, it still crashes but after 100 acceptable maps instead of just 100!

I am running Civ 3 Gold and Mapfinder does not recognize that I am running PTW. The name on the task bar is:
Sid Meier's Civilization III: Gold
Is this how mapfinder recognizes PTW is running or am I doing something wrong?

Update: MapFinder 2005v2.5
1. Report now can be sorted by clicking on column header
2. Attempt to recover from tempo out of synch...only happen once in a blue moon, but I went ahead to compensate for it anyway.
Enjoy!

Version 2.5 should now recongize "Sid Meier's Civilization III: Gold"; I'm assuming that this is the title of PTW. Since I don't have Civ3 Gold, I have no way of knowing for sure.

I wanna use my first post of the year to say thankyou, Moonsinger and Dianthus.
I'm running MapFinder with C3C on an elderly 1.1 GHz laptop and thus far it's been going for two nights and one day without any problems. woo-hoo!

This works great. Now I just have to figure out the time delays to run it on my ancient 400 MHz machine withut glitches. Note that the default times work great after a fresh re-boot, but if I try running after shutting down Civ once it works intermittently.
MOTH said:
On a 400 MHz machine, I think the following time delay settings will work for you:
1. For Loading: 40,000 ms or 40 seconds.
2. For saving: 60,000 ms or 60 seconds
3. Restart C3C every 30 iterations...since you are playing PTW, you do not need to worry about this.
4. Delay for restarting C3C: 150,000ms...again this one doesn't apply to PTW.
5. Between keystrokes: 1000ms or 1 second
6. Between Civ Dialogs: 7000ms or 7 seonds

That's great!
Would you post the Time Delay Values that work for you? I'm going to put together a small list of values for each system types; hopefully, it will help someone to locate the correct set of Time Delay values for their system.

I'm happy to share these settings, which give me no trouble on my machine (1.13 GHz PIII laptop w/ Windows ME)
1. For Loading: 18,000 ms or 18 seconds.
2. For saving: 18,000 ms or 18 seconds
3. Restart C3C every 33 iterations...
4. Delay for restarting C3C: 24,000 ms...
5. Between keystrokes: 1500ms or 1.5 second
6. Between Civ Dialogs: 12000ms or 12 seonds
Most of the delays are probably longer than they need be, but I did notice that 18k ms was not long enough for 4 (delay to restart).

I haven't tested it, but I thought the current version should work with ALL versions of Civ! (I know the .sav file reading works). Have you changed the autosave dir to the correct one?Noskcaj said:WHERE IS THE CIV III VANILLA VERSION? please post it!
Noskcaj said:WHERE IS THE CIV III VANILLA VERSION? please post it!
As far as I know, any version of MapFinder has been working fine with vanilla Civ3 and PTW. Don't forget to specify the correct autosave directory of whatever version of CIV that you are playing; that's all.
PS: Dianthus was right about my screenshot function! I have re-tested MapFinder over and over again and found that the screenshot function would capture about 128 shots on my system => that means it will stop after keeping about 128 acceptable maps. Other than that, MapFinder would run forever without any problem; I have successfully run it none stop through over 28000 iterations without any problem. Sorry about the delay on releasing the next version...since my computer was busy finding maps non-stop during the last weekend.
