Trade Assist

Great work Ainwood.

As I'm planning on doing a serious HOF-milking attempt, this tool will come in handy to avoid the tediousness of checking with all AI civs every turn.

(BTW on a side note: when will the GOTM be playable with Conquests?)

:hmm: I just dodged that question here. ;)

For a couple of reasons:

Firstly, there is no point in running a competition that we are not geared-up to support. We have been making great improvements in the basic things like getting the results out in a timely manner, and if we start on conquests now, then we will most likely slip back to the problem with results taking weeks....

Secondly, the bugs in Conquests, and the major rule changes that have been implimented with the successive patches mean that a tournament format for conquests is difficult. We will most likely only support v1.22f, but people playing succession games etc in 1.18f can't (at the moment) reliably patch to 1.22f, or they won't be able to reload their succession games... :(

But we will move to conquests, have patience. ;)

I haven't testing it with win2k, and there is a chance that it won't pop to the foreground with that, but it works on WinXP which has (largely) the same core....

I am running on Win2K and it does pop up to the foreground. :goodjob:

I am also getting the "is roiting" message every turn after the alert pops up. But I just restart it and it works until the next occurance.

BTW, I loaded it before recreating SirPleb GOTM17 QSC and I was reading his notes about setting the luxury rate at 10% and when I looked back at the screen there was the trade assist alert.
:cool:
 
I just used it a lot in the latest GOTM, I found that if you turn off the alert for city rioting then it works without problem. You don't get the city riot alerts, but it does give you the rest of the features and does not crash.

Did I miss it? When is the C3C version coming out? Please excuse my impatience.

Well, I have just released a save game settings / world seed extraction utility that uses an 'engine' that I will use for the revised trade assist. I'm considering the seed extraction utility as a form of beta test. :)

Ie -> its getting closer, and it depends on how many bugs are reported with the other utility. :)
 
This sounds like a god send to me! I, however, am about as computer illeterate as they come. Do you have detailed instructions on the proper way to install? (think, how would I explain this to my 8 yr old) -- thanks so much

Its pretty simple, really!

Click on this link. When asked to 'open' or 'save to disk', choose 'open'. The installer will run, and all you need to do is hit 'install'.

Then click on this link. This time, choose 'save to disk'. Save it somewhere that you can browse to later. When it has downloaded, browse to the location, and double-click to open teh save file. Drag the file out of the save file onto the desktop.

When you want to run it, just double-click on the file you put on the desktop, and away you go. :)
 
Great stuff!

Any estimate for a Conquests release? It's really a pain browsing through 31 civilizations almost ever turn!

Keep up the good work :D
 
Again thank you Ainwood. It seems as if you are answering my questions all over the place Sorry for being a pain :D

Edit: One last Question(for the day at least) Ainwood has this been approved for use in GOTM and SGOTM?
Edit #2: I got it up and running but it does not want to play the same game that I am. It's telling me that Persia has 1 gold and no tech. Persia is not in the current game I'm running. What did I screw up here?

#1: Yes, you can use it in the GOTM and SGOTM. :)

#2: Is it a new game you have started? You might need to play a turn (it might be reading the save from the previous turn). If not, then post the saev here, and I'll check it out. :)

TETurkhan, you've either got the wrong thread or you're asking the wrong person. This thread is for Trade Assist written by ainwood!

:lol:

I could make one, but I really don't want to interfere with ainwood, since he has put lots of work in making this spoiler safe. As a matter of fact C3MT contains a hidden similar tool for my private use that I have when trying to figure out more things about the save format (no need to say it isn't spoiler safe, but it does work on the same principes, and I could probably make it spoiler safe). Still it isn't optimized in any way and finding workers for trade is probably something that would kill it unless I optimized it for that.

But as I said. as long as ainwood is working on a C3C version I have other things to focus on, and am not going to try to compete with him in making a diplomacy helper.
