New Editor Thread

[Sid]

OK. Now have Editor; will Edit!

I would be interested to hear from anyone who's a) been able to get those nib-file Add/Delete buttons to work; and b) has added non-standard units -- where did you get them?

Any tips that anyone has about the Editor, I'd really appreciate hearing from you.

Sid, I've not messed w/ the editor since 1.29 beta patches were released. I've not tried adding units, but I was successful in at least installing the add/delete nib-files. There is a thread here explaining how its done, can't recall myself.

I've been absent from the boards (moved), but I was under the impression that the 1.21g editor wouldn't work w/ the beta 1.29 patch. Did you install the beta 1.29?

djb, I have a separate 'Editing' folder with a minimum install of Civ3 + Civ3Edit. My main install of Civ3 is Brad's latest Beta of 1.29. The Editor appears to work fine with this set-up. However, I have not successfully produced a scenario yet because the Settler fields get zeroed for all civs and even if I fix it for the Player1 -- Human Player, the others just wander over the map, unable to 'settle'. I sent a sav game off to Brad who has noticed this in the other threads.

Additionally, I have never managed to see the add/delete buttons, despite numerous d/ls and installs, so my blood pressure rises whenever I see ".nib" anywhere.

At this stage, I am playing other games during 'game time', but I am intrigued to see what Brad has in store for us, 'shortly.'

Since i'm on 1.29 beta2, the editor doesn't work anymore. It jumps out when opens.

Yes, i've observed that the 1.21 editor crashes on start up with the 1.29 beta 2 patch installed. The editor worked well before the update. So, if one wants the game updated to 1.29 then one loses the editor...

I think Sid's idea is a good one till patch 1.29b2 and Editor are compatible: to install a non-patched Civ3 on a partition of the HD with the editor. Right?

 

[Sid]

Yeah Mike, I think it will work fine, providing I don't mess with Settlers or Workers. Something I'm doing prevents the 'flow' of my British Empire mod.
