    Clausewitz Save Game and Scenario Editor/Viewer

    Current version is 0.7.4 (May 17, 2011)

    Quick download link for those who don't want to wade through the literally paragraphs of text below.

    Once again, this old program has morphed enough to warrant a new thread.

    For those of you just joining us, this program can read data from either a saved game or the game history files and display it graphically. There are also a large number of other views to help you visualize the game data (some of the old views have actually been turned into full-fledged mapmodes in Divine Wind, I believe).

    It also allows you to edit a province's history (if you are viewing history) or save game entry (if you are viewing a saved game). If you are in the political view, you can also edit countries. The history editors have some syntax highlighting and validation.

    What's new about this version?
    Well, I finally got around to making it compatible with Heir to the Throne. And since that took so long that yet another expansion came out in the meantime, I went ahead and updated it for Divine Wind also (using information gleaned from people who actually own it). And then I was on a roll, so I pulled in the Rome scenario editor also and made the code generic enough to handle both. And once that was done, why not support all Clausewitz games? After all, Jamie550 does it and makes it look easy.

    So here it is.

    System Requirements
    Java 1.5 or newer. This is installed on practically all new computers these days, so you probably have it already.

    Changes since 0.6.1
    Code:
    === 0.7.4 ===
    
    Changed:
    - Provinces are now shown with their names from the localization files, not
      the names defined in definition.csv.
    
    Bugfixes:
    - Fixed crash when loading a localization file with a blank line.
    
    === 0.7.3 ===
    
    Changed:
    - Double-clicking a province now always opens the province editor, even in the
      political view.
    
    Bugfixes:
    - Forcing a reload should no longer freeze the editor for a long time.
    
    === 0.7.2 ===
    
    Added:
    - Colors of scaling mapmodes (e.g. population or base tax) are now editable.
    
    Changed:
    - The buildings and cultures menu will now split into submenus if necessary.
    
    Bugfixes:
    - The date is now set properly at startup.
    - Editing Victoria 2 and HOI3 province history files should now work properly
      with the subfolder system.
    
    === 0.7.1 ===
    
    Changed:
    - Moved game version into config.txt instead of trying to auto-detect it.
    
    === 0.7 ===
    
    Added:
    - A few new view sets, mostly for the new games.
    - There is now a button to display a table of wars. Double-clicking a row of the
      table pops up a file dialog. Saving changes is not supported yet.
    
    Changed:
    - Almost all mapmodes that show a single something (single country, single tech
      group, single trade good) now allow clicking to change the filter to whatever
      was clicked on. E.g. when viewing a trade good, clicking a province with gold
      switches the view to gold provinces.
    - Parsing errors now display the file that the error occurred in.
    - Reduced memory consumption of large saves. It's still a lot, though.
    - Made some optimizations to the startup process.
    
    Bugfixes:
    - "extend" and "replace" entries in mod files are now properly case-insensitive.
    - Fixed a couple of NullPointerExceptions on tooltips.

    Since I don't actually have DW or any other Clausewitz games, it's quite possible that there are bugs. Please let me know when you find them.

    I'll give this a couple of days to let things shake out before posting to the other forums.

    Would be helpful to know exactly how it didn't work. Did it give some error message when you tried to run it? Did you verify you have the necessary Java runtime installed? What version of Windows are you running?

    I updated Java today. I am using Win7 64bit. When I double-click scen-ed.bat, DOS screen appers. ("press any key to continue" is on it) Then I click any key, DOS screen is gone, then nothing happens.

    Have you installed 32-bit Java, 64-bit Java, or both? Is your game installed in Program Files(x86)? This could cause problems with Windows UAC.
    Anything else in the DOS window besides the 'press any key' line?

    it is crashing for me because it can not find EU3_Scenario_Editor.jar which does not exist. I installed the download in to a clean directory and left the old version separate. The old version runs fine and has a EU3_Scenario_Editor.jar but the new download does not. I deleted and downloaded again with no change. Maybe some files are missing from the download?

    No, no files are missing.

    Apparently what happened is that SourceForge thought the source code download was the one people would want, so that's what the big green button gives you. Only two people have managed to find the real release version with the .jar file. (And furthermore, my "direct link" links to whatever SF thinks is the best, so it doesn't work either.)

    I am fixing now. My apologies for the mixup.

    Quite possible, and it shouldn't be as hard. Can you post a representative positions.txt entry in the other thread please?

    I downloaded the correct file and now I get an error that it can not detect the game version. My information from config.txt is

    maindir = "E:\Paradox\Paradox Interactive HTT Steve\Heir to the Throne"
    moddir = Steve

    This is the same information from the old version that works.

    I get the same problem if I point to my separate install of DW

    maindir = "E:/Paradox\Paradox Interactive DW/"

    and it does not matter if the / are / or \ and if a \ or / is at the end of the line.

    MichaelM, it would appear your great tool won't work with the 5.1b patches (not detecting the game version), only the 5.0 DW. Anything you could do about that, please ?

    What are the differences in files between 5.0 and 5.1? Do they need to be treated differently? If not, is there something they have in common that's not in HttT?

    My only information on DW is from Kurper, who (presumably before 5.1b) said that looking for common/faction.txt was enough to identify it.

    Please MichaelM lets make it simple. Just add a line to config.txt that says:

    Version =

    with valid options of

    DW
    HTT

    etc

    There are some good reasons for this:

    1) people like to keep multiple versions of the game on their computers for testing etc with all the various patches etc

    2) currently DW mods with custom maps don't work in a mod directory and so people have multiple copies of the game over written with mods.

    3) Other utilities have tried to detect the version etc using information from the registry and have had no end to problems as gamers gate at one time was not adding the correct information to the registry. Result was that some HTT patches were claiming not to be able to find the game. Add this to the fact that people are constantly making copies in new directories for untold reasons and soon the information in the registry etc is worthless.

    Please - just keep it simple. We are specifying everything else in the config.txt why not the version?????????

    I have been using your wonderful tools for years with out problem and now I can't get it to work because it say it can't detect the version. Don't make us jump through hoops - just keep it simple.

    Also thank you for making the new versions. I know your time is limited and your efforts are greatly appreciated.

    Aww, you're no fun.

    All right, fair enough. My first question remains, though: does 5.1b need to be treated differently in any way from 5.0?
