Yes, I've used the TechTool extensively and it its one of the best editing tools ever created for CIV3.

A version that would read BIX files for PTW or C3C, would be awesome indeed.

Excellent work man:goodjob:
 
Wow! Thanks for all the comments. When I first started this it was just supposed to be a quick program for my use as I played around with modifying Civ3, but it turned into a nice summer project, and I am glad to see others have found it to be useful.

The over flow errors are probably due to some constraint within the code. If you are having trouble with large files this would definitly be the case.

As for updates. Unless there is a serious problem, don't expect anything soon. I've been preoccupied with classes and other things since summer and haven't really even been playing Civ again until recently. I have Play the World, and it probably wouldn't take too much work to work it into the program, but I don't have C3C.
 
How do I save a bic? I tried importing but it demands that I open instead of save. What do they mean uncompressed; can somebody give a better tutorial?

You need to open the BIC in the Civ3Editor. Under the view menu choose options, uncheck "Compress BIC files" and save the BIC. Then try to open the BIC you just saved.

I clicked on the view menu and there was no "compress BIC files" to uncheck. Also, I am unable to save BICs. Can you link me to a map editor update? I believe I am in deep need of one. I can't do any of what you suggest.

You need to click on "Options" under the view menu - that's where you'll find the 'compress bic' option.

:confused: Under Civ3 editor "File" menu - choose "Save As" - files are automatically saved as .BIC files.

I already have the map saved. My tech editor cannot open maps. What do I do? Howcome these utilities work for everybody else but not me? I think I need updates for my game; its not responding the way it should. Also, map files are saved as either "biq." or "all files" I am unable to save them as "bic.". :(
 
The tool (not used it) says it is for CivIII 1.29F, so maps are BIC. PTW is BIX and Conquest is BIQ.

So the reason they do not work is you are using it against C3C maps.

Is it possible for me to edit civilization advances on a regular Civilization map and then import it into a C3C map?
 
I don't know. Maps do not control techs, that is part of the civ3mod.bic for CivIII. I think it is the conquest,biq in C3C, but better check with people that know about mods on the creation forum.
