GalCiv Writer

GalCiv Writer

A beta version of my Event Writer program is now available for any hardy souls who'd like to give it a try.

You can find a screenshot here:

You can find the instructions file here:
http://www.ctuit.com/bill/EventsInstructions.txt

This program has *not* been put through vigorous stress testing, so I do not recommend you install it without knowing what you are getting into. It will make several backups of the .event files in case something goes awry, but if you are not comfortable finding/renaming files on your hard drive, I highly recommend you stay away for the time being. In addition, as mentioned, this program is in a fairly untested state, so if this makes you nervous, stay away as well. I can confirm that GalCiv will load my modified event files, and fire off the events, so all seems well, but I only tested it on 4 machines that might not be representative of the general population (Win98, Win98SE, Win2000, WinXP, that's the extend of my testing facilities at work ;p ) Proceed at your own risk.

If you are interested in beta'ing this program, please contact me at:
[email protected]
and I will e-mail you a self extracting zip program with the install package. It is 1.7 megs, so if you are on dialup you'll have to be patient.

Future updates will be available via http download.

I moved the Events onto a separate form at the last minute, in anticipation of *maybe* adding more editing screens for techs, UP issues, SB modules and the like (no promises!), so in order to get to the events you have to select Edit>>Events.

The install package will add a program group, the default installation location is C:\GalCivWriter.

Please post here with any questions, comments, and feature requests.

Thanks!

There are no more betas for the GalCiv Writer. The last version was 1.3.0 which was updated for the last expansion pack. There has been no more updates since and I doubt there will ever be another. Hawaiifive-O has not been heard from for several months. If there are any programers out there that know VB6 well, I believe GalCiv Writer was written in that.

Hut101 i sent him an e-mail couple of weeks back and he replied fairly quickly. maybe someone with VB6 knowledge could get orriginal program from him

I have modest VB6 experience, but I took a look at some of the sample routines he gave me to learn from, and though I understood what he was doing, in VB prowess, I am to him as a microbe is to a human being...

Sorry

I am going to e-maial him and see if I can get the raw files to the GalCiv writer and start working on it a little. I have very little programming experience but I am right now in a programming class and I might as well try actual programming.

I've had a peek at some of the code and it has some pretty advanced concepts. Not for the faint of heart, nor the uninitiated. :)
Now that is one short post. Mind explaining?

He is probably angry with the people who constantly hijack ANY thread and fill it with SPAM to join their empire. I'm sure that they don't realize that it's spam, but it is, because I have to sift through unrelated garbage to get to the information I was looking for.

Ads for joining an empire do NOT belong in a Mods forum!

Thought I'd better get this thread back on topic. This is an excellent tool and is extremely easy to use. :HOT:

Bill Ko, do you have any of the code. A little. I still want to see if I can do anything with it. I am not very advance in programming but I would like to just see. Thanks.

I think Bill Ko needs to stop getting angry for silly things, this is a game in first place and getting upset because someone invites another person to visit a forum doesnot qualifies as Spam. This area is an area where many people come with different questions and requests and we owe to help those with needs as we were help in the past when we started playing this game, you cannot ask everyone to follow your lead in sticking to a particular topic, because every topic is interconnected with all the aspects of the game.
Mods help to improve no ONLY ONE AREA OF THE GAME, mods affect ALL the areas of the game in one way or another, if you want people to stick to the topic, just do as Theoden did, don't get upset with the people and just take the tread back where it belongs.

This is about mods so lets talk about mods, do you need any help with mods? I am more than willing to help you in any area or aspect of them.
