Steph: I've downloaded the version you posted in post #1020; I've upgraded to Microsoft Net Framework 4. I'm still getting an unhandled exception message when I try to click on Certain Units. In the latest circumstance, I'd successfully entered about 400 units when I came to the Spinosaur, a PTW unit that I'd moved into my game with the Conquests editor. When I try to click on it, I get the Unhandled Exception notice with these details:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

That it has only happened with certain units is a stumper. The Spinosaur is a fairly old Fireaxis unit; could that have anything to do with it? The only thing the lines in the unhandled exception message seem to have in common is that they all end with a parenthesis ().....

Check if the pedia icons are 256 colours

Check if the pedia icons are 256 colours

That did the trick. Also found about eight other un-indexed icons on files that hadn't popped up messages, so it's one of those weird programming things I'll never understand.

Thanks Steph.

 

[Steph]

It was easy the erroe message says
Steph_CivIII_ExpandedEditor.Functions.PCX.ReadPalette(BinaryReader reader, ColorPalette& palette)
...
Steph_CivIII_ExpandedEditor.Forms.FormPedia.SetActive(Unit_PRTO unit)

I.e. when setting the Unit_PRTO for the pedia form, the palette cannot be read.



If you look at a dictionnary for "weird programming", the official definition is "what CA did for Civ 3



Some parts of the save and biq format are bordering the ridiculous

Loading a custom BIQ, I'm getting the following:

[Steph]

Did you use the latest version? Where is a link in a post not so long ago.

 

[Quinzy]

I'm rather sure it's the newest version, but I'll redownload and check again. I'll edit this post.

Same error again.

 

[Steph]

Does it happen with this biq only? Can you email it to me? But I won't be able to check before I'm back to France this week end

 

[Quinzy]

I opened the Warhammer 2.5 biq and there was no error. I'll email you the file now. The scenario reference folder only contains a terrain file.

 

[creamcheese]

I am using the latest version with .net installed and when I try and load a .biq (right when I click the button) I get this error:

I was thinking it might be becuase I have my .biqs on a different drive than my .net install? I have no idea.

From everything I have seen (but so far not experienced) this looks like an excellent tool for scenario editing, bravo!

 

[Steph]

If it says "Method not found" I think it's because you doin't have the correct version of the .Net framework

 

[creamcheese]

I should have the correct version. I didn't have it at first, and it gave me a different message at start up that told me which to get, so I got that one (2.something). I have 1.something and 4.something as well.

 

[Steph]

I think you need 3.5

 

[creamcheese]

Okay, I'll get that one as well . I will report back in a little while.

Edit: It works now, thank you!

 

[Wahsayah]

I been busting my balls for the past three days at about 8 hours a day fixing errors and crap I made with the .ini files/creating custom sound files for the animations/wondering how I'm gonna get time to build a proper tech tree/ etc. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS AND I WILL TEST THE **** OUT OF THIS PROGRAM!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO1!1!!

^^

 

[ThesaurusRex]

Hey, I have an idea. Is there any way to make it to where barbarians have more extended evolutions? I always found it kind of stupid to be in the 1960's or so and have aggro horsemen running around. Maybe even more advanced vehicles/aircraft for them too.

 

[Moosezilla]

Steph's mod 5 will no doubt address this idea. (In fact it may have already but now I need to upgrade to Win7 pro or Ultimate.)

 

[Steph]

You can have different barbarians for each era, but only with my mod (or if you want to make your own with my expanded game system).
Not possible with the vanilla game.

I have one word for this: AWESOME!
