I like this program very much, but sometime it can't load. If I close civ3 and open it again to try to load the game in trainer again, so it work mostly but sometimes I must restart my computer sometimes and try it sometime until it work.
 
Using 2.0.9 - Whenever I start a game (new or loaded one) and I click load, it just shows Loading and nothing ever happens no matter how long I wait.
 
@VapidGrouse
This is the same problem as I have.
But meanwhile I've found a solution.

1. After you boot your system start civ3
2. when game is on "startmenu" tab and start powerbar
3. tab back and load your savegame
4. goto powerbar and click load

If I use exactly this way (no other programs,...) it works ever fine.
 
I just downloaded and played his latest version of PowerBar and man, I am impressed. The improvements in functionality and appearance are stunning I think. I love the info button -- What a great idea! -- and the Map features, which I had always found to be most difficult.

I’m happy to see the evolution of PB continue, and that a talented and capable developer has the reins. Excellent work SpiderZord, I look forward to the future enhancements… there’s plenty of room beneath the City and Production boxes, I can’t wait to see what features are next! :-)

I tried the new 2.09version and it worked fine for a bit but now when I try to load it I get :

Run time error "6" overflow

Can anyone give me a hand,
Thanks

I have returned from taking the zordlings to Disney - we had a great time. :)
I'm polishing up some work on units (the teleporter should be on-line soon) that will be going to the beta testers soon.

Thanks again to CrsadrJoe - where it all began...
 
Spend a week at Disney :)
Lose vehicle in car fire on first day back :wallbash:

I smelled gas on my ride to work today, so I drove straight to the dealership where I have my car serviced (on a regular basis). In line at the service bay, I heard the pop and hiss of my fuel line - seconds later, smoke was pouring out from under the hood.

4 fire extinguishers and 1 firetruck later, my car is toast...
nobody injured (although one front tire blew out from the heat and scared a bunch of people).

SpiderZord's Fire Safety Tip: If you smell gas while driving your vehicle:
1) pull over and turn off car
2) get out and call tow truck

It happens FAST. Be safe out there! :eek:
 
Hey Zord... Cars can be replaced, people can't. I'm sure that I speak for everyone here in saying that I'm glad no one was hurt. Besides, that's whats insurance is for.

Thanks - I have recovered from the experience and you're right. My wife and three sons could have been the ones in the car.

Anyway - the PowerBar code is safe and sound... ;)

I'll finish up the unit teleporting code ASAP.
 
Teleport is still giving me trouble on the graphics - the units are moved to the new coordinates, but disappear from the map... :confused:
In an effort to conserve room on the PB with all the new unit info, the unit and city frames (the right side of PowerBar) are switched out with a toggle button.
As soon as I correct the teleport problem, I'll release an update that will also include:
1) jungle and pollution clearing apply to territory - not just city radius
2) game year indicator with ability to freeze
3) ability to set game ending year (2050 not enough or too much time)
4) unit data on info screen (unit type, owner, location)

Still on SpiderZord's 'To Do' list:
1) Power up the info screens (i.e. territory perimeter warning [enemy units inside borders], threat assessment [some scoring report on enemy offensive units capability and proximity]...etc.)
2) Technology info screen - add toggle for techs known - maybe by age? (I spent a lot of time looking for where this is kept. I thought I found it, but it only turned out to be the tech queue).
3) Crusader Joe and I were discussing the shortcomings of the City Governors. I think a 'Goal' oriented build queue system would take out some of the tedious micromanagement. A goal oriented build queue example:
a) New goal - Build a task group (assign them a name) consisting of:
-30% infantry
-40% armor
-20% artillery
-10% defensive units (for defense of cities captured)
Units designated by actual name or traits (min Offense, etc.) and percentages so that the group grows at the right ratio until the task is tagged completed
b) to assemble at location (assign city or tile)
c) Options - with/without sea transportation required

City Governors would evaluate each turn to build infrastructure or be goal oriented, in which case they could 'bid' on the next needed item in the group on who could make it fastest or who was closest to assemble point.

Any other ideas for the to do list? :)
 
wow, this is great! some features i missed badly and there are even more :) keep up the great work, spiderzord...cant wait for the new version.
 
i am having a problem... with the HUGE screen, its almost impossable to see everything in powerbar... everythign is so small

help? civ 3 is sooo finiky... i tried joe's and when i build a spearman it trys to build a aquaduct?
 
Love the program - but a small question:

Has anyone tried using the powerbar with the new PTW expansion? If it doesn't work, are there any plans to tailor the app so that it works with it?
 
Hello, I'm using Power bar the latest version and im having a problem with building settlers .It will let me build everything else
but not settlers and when I do try to make a setter it makes it 1 round but changes everything else to 1 round too but never makes the settler just sits there saying 1 round left all day . Also, wont let me build anything else without losing like 60,000 shields
I got to take over the united states again hehehe.

ps.I attached my save game maybe that will help?


Thx for all your time and help!!!
