There are several Graphical Mods that helps you with that. It generally puts a Smiley next to the Citizen. The one I use have a Green Happy smiliey next to Happy, a Blue next to Sad, a White next to Content and a Angry Red next to Rioting citizens.

Thanks Grey Fox,

I'll definately take a look into that.

Great little tool here. Is it possible to make it so that it tells you how close you are to a cultural victory, etc?

There's Apollo for that purpose.

Lovro, good job anyway. I'll ask Killer if he can put a link to these programs, since there are a lot of people asking (indirectly: how could I know that..., when the answer is 'Mapstat!' or 'Apollo!'...) for this in the GD forum.

Thanks so much for this! I've been using this version with PTW for the last week or so, and I have not had any problems with it at all.

I used Mapstat all the time with vanilla Civ3, but I've had PTW since it came out and I've missed having this tool. :goodjob:
 
I tried MapStat.jar on MacOS X 10.2.4 with the new Java 1.4.1 version. It reads the (1.21) .sav file fine, but always reports "Tiles to Limit 1" and 0s elsewhere. Can anybody help a non-programming Mac user?
 
Thats cool the .jar opens on OSX. I've never tried it. The latest build of Java Maptat only works up to patches 1.17. I never tested it further. But I did develop the code some since so it's possible that either I have a version that'll work or I can get a version up for you. If you want, I can take a look at getting a version out to work with 1.21. PM me with a link to an uploaded save of your 1.21 .sav file and I'll take a look. No guarantees, but I'll see what I can do.

You don't allow for PMs. :(

However, there is already a 1.21 file on the server named http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads3/tao_mtdg-1-Alexander2190bc.sav.zip or you could e.g. use a save from the djb-1 to djb-4 Mac succession games. It would be great, if you could give MapStat to the Macintosh Civ III community.
 
I figured I should release my last working build on Mapstat Java. It was made sometime last year but due to a lot of factors, not released. However, I have heard that this version can work with v1.21 saves on the Mac OSX. Not to say it won't work on any other platform/OS on any version up to and including v1.21 saves. So, I figured I should at least make it available. I have not done a lot of testing on it, so it should be considered a beta. But I don't have the resources right now to test or rebuild the jar.

Let me know if there's any problems/questions/concerns with this version.

Chiefpaco, v2.0 worked the first time out on my game system (Mac v1.21, OS 10.2.4). Yes! Thanks a lot for the release, however belated.
 
chiefpaco, Java Mapstat v2.0 is great for Mac users, especially since we now can participate in the GOTMs.

However, since Brad Oliver just posted the first 1.29 Macintosh Beta, the lifetime of 1.21 will come to an end sooner or later. In case you find the time to make a 1.29 compatible Java version, it again would be just great!
 
IIRC, the windows version did not change from 1.21 to 1.29 since there were no .sav file changes. Let me know if it breaks and I will look into it.

I don't know if anyone else has reported this, but I seem to be having problems with the Java version 2.0 under Mac OS X with the civ3 1.29b2 patch.

If I open a .sav file created with civ3 v.1.21g and select MapStat in the Action menu then I can see the list of civs in the pop-up menu and select any of them to display the stats. Works fine.

But if I try this with a .sav file created with v1.29b2 then the pop-up menu contains only "Unclaimed". There are no civs listed.

Am I doing something wrong?

[edit] @ chiefpaco: If you would post the version 2.0 Java source I can investigate my problem here.

[Edit #2] I've now looked at the older Java source posted here and I think the problem may be that I am trying to use MapStat on a v1.29 GOTM file, which includes additional non-standard civilizations. The old source includes a hard coded list of civ names which cannot handle this situation. I have adapted that code to read the civ names from the file, and it now fills in the civ name pop-up correctly. Don't know if there are other fixes in version 2.0 that I need to include, so my hack may not be a valid version.

Thanks
 
I used MapStat for the first time and it looks great (no more guesswork :band: ). Great work Chiefpaco and Lovro!

Now my question: I always though domination was about landmass, but the tool also shows population limit? I usually don't go for domination (and I'm not now), but I've never heard of a population limit? :confused:
I'm a little bit worried now, 'cause I've reached this population limit, but I'm some way of the landmass limit and I don't want domination!

Sorry, if this has been made clear before, but I couldn't find it immediately.

Welcome.

The domination victory in civ3 is triggered when you own *both* 2/3 of the world's landmass and 2/3 of the world's population.

Which means you are safe for now (we hadn't even known for the population limit for quite a while), but keep an eye on the landmass limit if doing any conquests.
 
Thanks to Brad Oliver for bringing Civ III 1.29 to the Macintosh community. :goodjob:

Regrettably, MapStat Java v2.0 doesn't work with the new uncompressed .sav files.
The tiles are counted (correctly, I assume), but no civs are selectable/shown in the pop-up menu. :(

chiefpaco: can you make this great program work again?

anybody: Is there a utility to compress 1.29 .sav files into the 1.21 format?

Opinion: I liked the compressed .sav files much more !!!

@Tao: I found this problem, but ony with GOTM files - see the edit in my post a little further up this thread. It's because MapStat has a hard coded civ list and GOTM adds new civs.

I have modified the older Java source that's available here to read the civ list from the .sav, and it's now working for me. But until chiefpaco gives me access to the later Java source I'm concerned that the old version, and therefore my home-brew, may have other bugs that I don't know about. Also, I would need chiefpaco's permission to post a modified version of his program here.
