Here's a screeny. When you have a unit selected (it's changing colors) it's info will display in the Tools screen. Now all the entries that are circled in the lime color when clicked become editable.

 

[NikNaks]

Ok. I re-downloaded the version you have linked, and that information still isn't shown. Are you sure you've uploaded the right version?

Oh, and you may want to explain the Firaxis East/West mistake so people don't get confused.

 

[Zebra 9]

Downloading a copy to check it.

 

[Zebra 9]

Ok, somehow I uploaded v0.2 instead of v0.3. How I goofed it up like that is beyond my understanding, but I now have the correct version up.

 

[NikNaks]

Ah. That explains it. No wonder I couldn't find it!

 

[NikNaks]

Clicking on them doesn't allow me to edit them. It just highlights them.

 

[Zebra 9]

Yea, sorry for the confusion.

 

[Zebra 9]

When you click it start typing.

 

[NikNaks]

Nope. Click it and it highlights it, but I can't type anything in.

 

[Zebra 9]

Works for me. What version of firefox are you using? I'm using v1.0.

 

[NikNaks]

Firefox version v1? I'm using 2.0.0.5!

 

[Zebra 9]

Okay...

...Pauses...


...Um... ...I'll see if i can get somthing that should work tonight.

They have a version 2.0.0.5 already!!

 

[NikNaks]

They released v1.5 about a year ago, and v2 a few months ago. Have you disabled updates or something???

 

[Zebra 9]

The computer I work on doesn't have internet access. And this computers owner doesn't seem to care what version of browser it's got.

Just uploaded v0.4 hope it works for you.

 

[Centaur]

Wow...two updates in approx~24hrs? This has gotta be one of the most frequently updated thread on the forums!

 

[NikNaks]

It works! Thanks, Zebra.
So when will the BtS version be released?

 

[Zebra 9]

As soon as I get BtS and create a python server to automaticly change the XML. This is almost done. Gald it works.

Also you probably noticed that it starts in Vanilla instead of Warlords now.

Also you probably noticed that it starts in Vanilla instead of Warlords now.

That's slightly annoying, but I don't really mind
Good to hear you're going to get working on a BtS version.

 

[Zebra 9]

Well if you want it to start in Warlords go into the zFormation Editor folder, you will see a file by the name of config.js. Open it in notepad and change the line that reads civVersion = 161; to civVersion = 208;. Now it should load up in Warlords mode.

Oh, I just noticed that I have some debug code in that file. To turn it off just change

defaultUnitTypes = "UNIT_WARRIOR UNIT_TANK, UNIT_ARCHER";
defaultEventTypes = "ENTITY_EVENT_IDLE,ENTITY_EVENT_SURRENDER,ENTITY_EVENT_SLEEP,ENTITY_EVENT_HEAL,ENTITY_EVENT_SENTRY,ENTITY_EVENT_PILLAGE";

to

defaultUnitTypes = "";
defaultEventTypes = "";

.

Just uploaded v0.5. It supports BtS formations.

I'm working on a small python server that, if it works, should allow for complete control over XML files. So all you would have to do is create the formation click save and start the game and presto you have formations!

Enjoy v0.5.
