Cool!

What are the differences betweeen the different types of forest/ jungle-like vegetation? There appear to be 3 different kinds.

And post more screenshots please.

Thank you very much!!! Do you know what kind of unit graphic replacing abilities there are... can you make your own 3-d units? what type of file can you browse for when you select to replace a unit image?

Thanks,

Thanks very much for the post.

When you click on the Unit Button that lists all the units - is there an "Extra Unit A" "Extra Unit B" "Extra Unit C" etc. etc. as there was in Civ 2 ?

Or are we truly limited to only that number of Units that came with the original game ? (And therefore to add extra we must delete some of the originals ?)

Sorry guys, as far as I can tell, there is no easy way to add a new unit or new unit graphic--at least in the editor. There might be a way to do it by adding a folder under \Civ3\Arts\Units\. There are a number of folders under there that are named after the game's units, and in each folder there are a number of files, e.g.:

Volume in drive G is NTFS_VOL
Volume Serial Number is CCE1-CE1F

Directory of G:\Civ3\Art\units\Bomber

They have confirmed that you can replace art with either your own animations or static 3d images, that was a long time ago.

zould you zip tose files and attach them? I'd like to see how a unit is tored (more then the names).

Thanks for those info, Pezz

My main question is now to Firaxis: what is neccessary to edit gfx in *.flc format? This format is totally unknown to me...or is it an format for anims?

Oh, and are there support text files included to help scn makers (for example, nice to see that they use *.wav sounds, but firaxis should be more specific (stereo?,max.sampling rate etc.., the same for other game files).

Or is this all explained in the editor(s)?

Good stuff, Pezz. Rather than creating a new folder you might want to try to copy an existing folder and just change all the names (e.g. Bomber->Bomber2), for all the file names and in the .INI file too (I suspect)...

Yeah, I, like Gramphos, would very much like to see those files too, it would be fantastic if you (or anyone else for that matter) could attach a sample...

Bebro,
Yeah, those are probably anims. It's almost inevitable to have that sort of stuff in seperate files, compress it and all... CtP also had this. Most likely Firaxis will eventually release an editor, just a matter of time (I hope).

.flc format is rendered file by 3D Studio

Thanks I´m curious, Dan Magaha said one could decide between using animated unts or normal images when customizing the game, this means in my eyes that civ3 must support other gfx formats too, or?

or that since flc is a pretty common format(it's from the days of 3d studio for dos) you could probably find some utility to create flc files from a simple jpg/gif

IIRC Jasc Animatin Shop can create them.

	Bomber unit files Remove this text

I can't zip the entire folder since the resulting file is above the 200k message board limit, but here are some files you can play with. I don't know what the .amb file is.
