PowerBar Trainer Utility

... On the subject of teleport, is it possible to 'refresh' the memory so it realizes where the unit now is. It seems to me, and this is just a guess, that when you teleport the unit that some where else in memory is a reference to the image of that unit on the map. (If that makes sense?) Perhaps the map itself has a placemarker for all units and that when you teleport a unit it gets them out of sync? (Or maybe I'm very far off and have no clue what I'm talking about)

Teleport was by far the most complicated function to create. Not only the actual unit coordinates, but their previous turn coordinates (for directional facing) and the unit index at the map tile location are updated... but I'm still missing something. I spent a quite a bit of time looking for what was missing, but I had to move on for sanity reasons. I may revisit that code at some point...

Spidey: Updated from PTW 1.14 to 1.21 and changed from 3.0.9 to 3.2.6. Need to set up hot seat games, but 3.2.6 will auto-shutdown upon Multiplayer Mode detection. No background running programs aside from the Gamespy junk. Worked ideally previously - - - now it doesn't. Could you tell me why and how to correct it.? Thanks.

Just wanted to publicly thank SpiderZord for fixing my carriers and game... He rocks.

Spiderzord,

I've noticed that when I destroy more than 4 cities it is being "counted" in the PB as created cities and will not go away and will give me an "error 9" when I click the "LOAD" button to try and refresh the PB. I'm using PB3.2.1

Barok,
What happens with the latest version?

SpiderZord:
My errors also start to occur when I have destroyed some cities!

Loranga,

I haven't tried PB3.2.6 with either Civ1.29f or PTW, I'm going to try it on both when I get home.

You should be ok with PB3.2.6. That is what I use currently. I destroyed 4 german cities recently and had no problem. This is actually the best version so far. I did run into problems with some of the previous versions. With this version I find I can load as many times as I want and I have no problems.

 

[Sir John]

where is the version for 1.14?? (Or is this compatible with 1.14 as well??)

 

[Ben E Gas]

i may be wrong, but doeasn't PB3.2.6 work with 1.14?

I'd update your civ3 & PTW anyway.

 

[pdescobar]

He probably would update his PTW, *if* there was a 1.21f patch for non-US versions

 

[SpiderZord]

PowerBar does not work with PTW 1.14 since I updated it for 1.21 - I didn't realize I left the non-US community out of the loop when I upgraded to 1.21f. I still have the 1.14 offsets - I'll add a version compatibility selection for PTW on the splash screen for now... coming soon.

Hey there Spidy.

Was just wondering if you had any luck with the runtime errors?

Your power bar is really a great utility!

Just wish i could use it!!!!

 

[SchmuckyTheCat]

I found a potential source of load errors.
Today when I tried to load the powerbar from the run command, it gave errors on load. When I directly clicked the exe, it worked fine.

Potentially there are path errors here?

[color=600f0f]Merged with the Powerbar thread - as it seems to be a reply to that. --Padma[/color]

Just uploaded 3.2.7 with two changes:

3.2.7 Date 04/02/03: FIX - Fixed bug in new unit class code causing an overflow error in version 1.29f.
ADDED - Dual compatible for PTW (splash screen check boxes for versions 1.21 or 1.14).

Spawn - let me know if that fixes your problem...

Civ PTW community stuck at 1.14 - let me know if that works - I coded the offsets, but I didn't strip the patch to test it - I'm hoping you'll beta test that for me

PowerBar 3.2.7 beta

 

[Loranga]

Thanks for your efforts, Spiderzord, but it's back to "Run time error 9 : Subcript out of range..." on Civ3 v1.29F...

Thanks - back to debugging

 

[SpiderZord]

I can never reproduce the subscript error with my testing... but I have placed more error trapping in the refresh cities and refresh units routines with different messages in an effort to pinpoint the source. Please try it out and report the error message so I can hunt it down!

PowerBar 3.3 beta

(I did away with the 3rd number in the version - I don't why I was bothering... now version X.Y where X= major, Y = minor updates).

 

[Padma]

[color=600f0f]Just want to point out a post I merged into here - seemed to be orphaned in a thread of its own.

[jeannie]

I just downloaded the new beta version - had been using 3.2.1 - and I get this error when I click on 'load'.

 

[SpiderZord]

jeannie - thanks now I know where to focus my debugging... what civ version are you running? Also, are you playing with respawn civs?

Padma - thanks for the forward

[EDIT] Ignore 3.3 - I must be brain dead... version 3.4 below:

PowerBar 3.4 beta

That bug trapping on the cities needed a fix
