Help wanted

Increase Your PM Length

I want some help I am having a hard time putting in my own new technologies and buildings they work in the main directory but not in the scenario directory I have made.

I need help renaming some new tile improvements I have made I can get the pictures changed but not the name it just shows the name of advance farm the one I have based it on.

Does any one no how to make new orders it would be a help if some one could tell me how.

Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Problem is there's not a lot of people left around here who can help out.

Hexagonian put together a Moders Guide that may help you. You can download it from his site http://www.geocities.com/hexagonia/

I don't think anyone has tried to make new orders. What did you have in mind?

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

I had an idea about using some of the other special effects so you could burn cites to the ground or capture slaves with a bubble of plasma thing.

also I have look at the guide and can find no help from it but I thank you for your reply

It is allways a pain to use the scenario file structure, so if you are making a mod you should rather use ModSwapper than the scenario file structure. I don't explain ModSwapper now so if you need help to get your mod working as a ModSwapper mod please ask.

Here is an example from the CRA_tileimp.txt:

code:
## 43  ##################################################
########

TILEIMP_UNDERSEA_FORTIFICATIONS {
   Icon ICON_TILEIMP_UNDERSEA_FORTIFICATIONS
   Tooltip TOOLTIP_TILEIMP_SELECT_FORT_BUTTON
   Statusbar STATUSBAR_TILEIMP_SELECT_FORT_BUTTON

   }
}

## 44  ##################################################

The first line contains the name of your tileimprove. This tileimprove is based on the land fort. In the second line you find Icon it refferes to the uniticon.txt for a default game in Cradle this file is called CRA_uniticon.txt. Tooltip and StatusBar refferes to the tips_str.txt (in Cradle CRA_tips_str.txt). The first line (TILEIMP_UNDERSEA_FORTIFICATIONS) reffers to entries that can be found in a file called gl_str.txt in your ..\ctp2_data\english\gamedata\ directory (for Cradle CRA_gl_str.txt) if you have a non english version of the game than there is also a file called str_loc.txt for the correct grammer. The gl_str.txt contains all the names for advances, buildings, tileimprovements.... Is there a tile improvement in the tileimp.txt that has no entry in the gl_str.txt. Then the name in the tileimp.txt is used in the above example it would be TILEIMP_UNDERSEA_FORTIFICATIONS that you will see in the Great Library.

If you need I could be more detailed please ask.

Full PM-box? Change here!

I look at the mod swaper and it looks to me like i will have a problem with being forced to down load it.

i had a look at a file the othere day called pathes or somting like that. i wonder if i could alter this so that i would be able to make a simple vb file to transfer the altered file into place as well as install my scenario.

what i want to know is what this file does could it be of some help.
