Tech Tree Editor

[confusedplayer]

Okay, I've been trying to get this working for like an hour, but I haven't been having any luck. I unpacked the zip in to the mod folder, load it up in the game, but I can't bring up the editor. I already have the console enabled with the cheat code. I'm playing the vanilla version, latest update. I'm just getting no dice here.

Did you actually load up the Tech Editor as a mod and start a new game?

i didn't overlook anything b4 asking: are you releasing the CivEditor all at once or will you be releasing individual portions; such as this one?

thnx in advance

Yep, loaded it as a mod, a new game several times, several different configurations. The F6 key works on my keyboard too. Editor just won't come up.

 

[NikNaks]

You're pressing Alt-F6 as to load up the editor in game, aren't you?

 

[confusedplayer]

I've tried Alt and F6, Ctrl F6, Shift F6, and every possible combination of the above. Used Alts on both sides of the board too.

Well... my plan is release them all in one editor but to do it in phases.

Hmmm... are you using Civ4 or Warlords? Which version of the mod did you download?

 

[Esoth]

cool... which is the next planned phase?

See post number 25.

Oh, I see. But is it possible to fix this issue in future versions?

Many non-english speaking civfans would be grateful to you

I am almost ready with a new version that fixes the language issue you reported... just doing a bit more testing.

 

[Esoth]

you know, i forgot that i had read that... thnx 4 the reminder

Hey I got this to work I even made my own button images (.dds) and stuff, but when I hit save it says "File Not Saved!!!", I tried going to the config file and changing the name of the "Test" and still nothing, any recommendations what I should be doing to actually save my mod?

Sorry if this is a newb question, i'm a newb.

No problem, basically the error you are getting is because the game does not have write access to the correct directory. What version are you playing? Civ4 or Warlords? Which version of the Tech Tree Editor did you download? Are you playing the Mac or PC version?

TheLopez --

This seems like a really cool idea for a mod! But I can't get it to work. I'm able to load Civ4 w/ the mod just fine, but I can't actually bring up the tech tree editor once I begin the game. (I've tried Alt+F6 w/ both Alts, Ctrl+F6, Shift+F6...) I tried to reinstall Civ4, and I still can't get it to work. I'm running the most current version.

Any ideas?

TheLopez,

Ok, figures I'd figure it out 10 minutes after I posted this...

I created a folder in the mods subdirectory called 'Tech Tree Editor.' Don't do this! (There was another guy in this thread with the same problem...although the cause of his may be different.) Just unzip directly into the mods directory.

Thats wierd, mine has its own sudirectory, and its always worked perfectly . I know exactly what I am gonna do with it too. Move engineering back in the tech tree-before construction-the way it was in Civ2 and Civ3. I am then gonna move Meditation out to beyond Polytheism, again where it belongs IMO. This tool is a huge blessing for the bulk of the modding community, TheLopez, and we can't thank you enough .

I downloaded:

Version: v0.6.1w
Patch Compatibility: Warlords v2.0.8.0

And I am using Warlords PC version Win XP:

Another thing I didn't install the game in the default directory it asked me when I first installed this, I have 3 external hard drives and I've installed this in one of them, I've never had problems with the game.

This is how my directory and config file look:

Also this is an awesome mod, I can't wait for the one that actually lets you edit more than happiness and a few assets. You should add it also so you can edit the quote
You've decrease the time span of modding for many civ 4 modders

 

[Darkgrammer]

Good God! (slaps self) I figure it out lol I had save the mod into the game itself and not in the Mod folder, it all works great man and thanks for this again, the Civ Community can't thank ya enough, now I can't wait to see the good version the one with all kinds of goodies. Also sometimes the bars are weird to scroll they scroll to fast and stuff have you consider adding something like a box next to the option so you can input a number.

do you have a website or consider one for this mod and other mods you make? You should.

 

[ollj]

nice and of course a little slow.
you messed upo the saving and loading procedure. it should be saved in the mods folder it is run from, saved in the place it belongs to when that mod is loaded.
And it totally lacks a load option.

Even if not used by the mod i play, i want to load ANY techtree, edit it, and save it anywere.

 

[ollj]

You really should mention
Pyton/CvModName.py
edit it (if you use techtreeeditor merged with your mod) and set 'modName = "Your Mods Name" '
or it just wont find a folder (if you do not have 'tech Tree Editor' as a mod) and deny saving.

Vanilla civ4, and I THINK I got the latest one, its thread linked directly here. I'll check that though. If it isn't I'll try a redo and see what works.
