This program helps ToT players to manage their MOD files. A lot of feature are not implemented yet but the program is quite useful.

Civilization Scenario Programming Library (985 KB) by Angelo Scotto

CSPL is a C++ library used to access Test of Time memory while ToT is running. You can see CSPL as a new events language very powerful (and complex...) to realize new scenarios, anyway, since CSPL simply modifies Tot memory you can also use it to realize in-game utilities or mod-packs which drastically changes civ game rules. As you can imagine the only drawback is that you need to know a bit of C language to code CSPL programs. (CSPL should be used with Borland C++ 5.5 compiler which can be downloaded for free from borland web site)

CivTweak a scenario field editor (11 KB) by Carl Fritz

CivTweak is simply the coolest Civ II utility ever written. If you are a scenario designer this program is a must have.

  • You can reassign city styles to the civilizations to get the right look. You can even assign city styles without the prerequisite techs.
  • You can change these settings: difficulty, barbarian activity, blood lust, simplified combat, and don't restart tribes. Normally if you mess these flags up, you have to start over.
  • You can add a tribe when you start with less than 7 tribes and have changed your mind.
  • Finally you can change the barbarian form of government (Democracy = unbribable barbarians!) and their gold.

It works with Classic Civilization II, Conflicts in Civilization, Fantastic Worlds, Multi-player Gold Edition AND Test of Time scenario files.

This program requires vbrun300.dll to run.

Version 1.5

CivCity scenario file editor (11 KB) by Carl Fritz
Another fabulous scenario editing program. I had the honor of beta testing this program, so I can tell you first hand what a huge time saver this utility is. It allows you change all kinds of city parameters, many of which can only be changed by hex-editing. CivCity allows you to set up trade routes, change trade commodities and select which improvements a city has. City parameters such as owner, founder, the food box, the disorder flag and more can be set.
This program requires vbrun300.dll to run.

Version 1.2
