New version 0.1.5.0 uploaded. See OP
Added video links.
I seem to be getting a bug where the technology is added and is visible in game, but cannot be researched.
This is with 0.1.5.0. The technology copies and the prerequisites are fine, but the screen is blank for the research.
Example output (this tech tree is called "Elves"):
<Tech> <InternalName>IridiumMarketingTech</InternalName> <GenericName>MarketingTech</GenericName> <DisplayName>IridiumMarketingTech_Name</DisplayName> <TechTree>Elves_Tree</TechTree> <ShortDescription>IridiumMarketingTech_ShortDec</ShortDescription> <Description>IridiumMarketingTech_Dec</Description> <ColorDef>TechCyan</ColorDef> <Icon>GC3_Planetary_Defense_Icon.png</Icon> <Bink>GC3_Planetary_Defense_Temp.bk2</Bink> <ResearchCost>29</ResearchCost> <TechPoints>1</TechPoints> <AICategoryWeight> <Military>6</Military> <Growth>14</Growth> <Tech>8</Tech> <Diplomacy>16</Diplomacy> <Expansion>10</Expansion> <Wealth>18</Wealth> <Influence>20</Influence> <Fortification>12</Fortification> </AICategoryWeight> <Prerequ> <Techs> <Option>CommunicationsTech</Option> </Techs> <TechAge> <Option>AgeOfExpansion</Option> </TechAge> </Prerequ> </Tech>
Is this a tree created with the editor ?
Can you explain in more detail what the issue is.
The tech in question can be seen in game but cannot be researched?
Yep. It cannot be researched in game.
Changing
<InternalName>IridiumMarketingTech</InternalName>
to
<InternalName>ElvesMarketingTech</InternalName>
fixes it.
This only happens when you copy paste a race (Ex: Iridium) to a custom tech tree.
Another problem, when options are a prerequisite, it doesn't copy properly. You have to manually enter all 3 options.
Still not sure what you are doing.
I have just tried the following.
Created a custom tree based on the Drengin, called it Elves. (Select Mods, create new tree)
Selected Iridium tree, copied Marketing Tech, selected Elves tree, pasted onto Intimidation (first tech in influence) Saved tree.
Selected Snathi tree, copied Recovery Tech, Selected Elves, Pasted onto Engineering (first tech in engineering) Saved tree.
Exit editor.
Fired up GCIII, selected Elves tree as my custom tree. Both new techs are available to research.
Both when researched give the appropriate access to building etc.
Can you elaborate?
At present you can't copy or paste Specialization techs.
Hope this helps.
New version available 0.1.6.5
Main additions:
drag and drop support for moving techs around - see extended tutorial video in OP.
Stat editor update. Can add or remove stats. Drop down menus.
See OP for full details.
Want a new icon?
Second that.
Yes please!
Right click the image above and save as (its an ico file)
Have just uploaded a hot fix. Separate download. just the executable.
Fixes pasting duplicate Tech not saving correctly.
Have already done so.
Hot fix above includes the new icon.
Thanks.
Edit.
Have had to upload new version with fix.
Hot fix had missing icons. No idea what happened.
When I click on Specialisation tech editor crashes. Same with tech icons. No error code appears.
I use Windows 10 x64 (6GB DDR2 an Xeon L5430). Last version of your tech editor. Language of system and game is cyrillic (Ukrainian/Russian). Please help, editing techs in text editor is toooo time consuming. Thanks
You know what would be more amazing? Paul Boyer keeping his promise and releasing GalCiv 3 editor tools.
@treborblue, please add Sublime Text alongside Notepad++ for opening tech with editor, all you need to do is add:
<chosen sublime executable> <filename>:<line number>:<column number>
Keep up the good work.
The system language shouldn't matter.
Does this happen with default trees or when you are viewing a custom tree.
Does the crash happen when you hover over a tech or when you click it.
Can you post the logs.
With default trees
Crash when it is over Xenobyology and some other techs, over tech icons, and when click on specialisation techs.
I'll post any log you say. How can I take it?
In the folder where the tech tree editor is there should be a log folder.
Paste the logs from the last entry of Startup to the end.
Just checked with Sublime, it appears the ': <line number>' must be after the filename not before, as with Notepad++.
I will add an option to reverse the parameters.
@Ant1Her0
Just checked the logs you sent me.
It looks like you have some custom files in your Mods\ExampleMod\Game\ folder.
Turn of mods and see if it happens again. (click View - Default Tech Trees Only). This will only load core files.
If it crashes with custom trees. were they created with this tool.
If not they may be missing some files.
The editor assumes certain files will be available.
My Borg Tech Tree crashes the Editor
Its a missing text bug.
e.g. Xeno Mysticisym is looking for BorgAlcove_Name
I re-coded the stat parsing to speed it up and forgot to return the stat_Name if it can't find the string.
It's fixed now.
I'll upload a fixed exe soon.
My bad, missign text file, sorted it now works fine
Updated exe on nexus. 0.1.6.7.
I have just uploaded the main exe. You will need version 0.1.6.6 first.
Unzip and copy to the Tech Tree Viewer folder, overwrite the main exe.
Fixed CTD with missing Text.
Fixed Edit descriptions Undo not updating main window.
Added reverse parameters - (some text editors need Args after file name)
Added More error trapping.
Let me know how you get on with this version.
Still should have caught the error, my bad.
See above post. Will return the stat_Name if it can't find the text.
Added new video shows updated Stat Editor. see OP
Add and delete stats from drop down menus.
Gee, I know this feelinng all too well.
You might consider what Gauntlet did, and provide an avenue for players to slip you some money on the side. This tool is so useful it should be part of the game, and I would be happy to donate a little coffee money to keep you productive!
