I tried selecting "Import form BIC", but this puts me to selecting from scenarios. I tried "Reveal Map", which gives me nothing. What do I have do to edit the savegame map? Sorry to be so dense.

You have to select Export as BIC then edit that bic in the editor and then import from BIC and select it.

Look good, but the problem is that the mulit tool itself has no load thime. the load time belongs to the start of the Copy Tool. One of the changes is that the Copy tool no lnoger is default, but the Main menu I did is. It should not force people that just want to use the sge to wait that long. I could show a splach screen for some time together with the menu.

I'll see how I do.

I looks good as it is, but i think that picture maybe should be from a later version (after the citizens has been added as that tab has changed layout since then.)

This one is mae with the new layout, but I might use the old layout anyway, as it is easier to place the verion number then, but do you have one with only the title on? or would the text in the box look bad if it was placed over the image at runtime?
(I might want to change it later for any reason)

As for the Copyright and trademark notice I'll definaltey let the Program generate it, but I can empty that area myself.

And FYI: Infogrames owns the trademark, not Firaxis.

	I don't know what I'm doing wrong Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

I can get the copy tool to work.
I can even copy units and rename them.

But I don't know how to copy a civilization. When I copy a civilization and save the bic file, the game crashes when I click 'new game'. Reports something like: "civilization3.e.exe has caused problems and will be shut down..."

I've tried renaming the new civ before loading the game, but that hasn't worked either.

Any ideas? Or am I just too stupid to ever get this?

Civs never work with the Foreign advisor.

They will not work with the game at all if the have the same Pedia entry as any one. But I recomend you to nor try to copy civs, as noone have mannaged that yet.

The new version will not be ready until earliest Sunday. I've sent the first beta of C3MT to the testers that mailed me. If any issues are reported, before Saturday I'll fix them then, and will try to finish some other parts.

Have you had a chance to figure out the years per turn? That would be handy if we could adjust it.

Is there any way that you could put in a feature that would allow the user to change the corruption/distance modifier in a saved game. Currently the degree of corruption that occurs in distant cities on a huge map is way too much.

I don't know exactly where that is saved. Might be possible, but don't count on that it makes the next version. I'll finish what I've started before I begin any more research.

Is there anything you can find that will allow us to upgrade units in Armies, or at least be able to remove them from inside? It would be great if we could turn the Armies into a glorified transport, but the Unload flag doesn't do anything for that unit.

I tried using the Saved Game Editor to move "The Forbidden Palace" to a location that would do me more good. I managed to get the Forbidden Palace to move, but the effect didn't! The original home city still has zero corruption and the new home still has over 50% corruption. Evidently all that moved was the picture.

	Hey Gramphos Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

I'm having a problem with the Army units I've copied. Everytime I go to my build list and try to select one of the copies, the game crashes. I just did a check and the original one worked fine, but as soon as I selected the copy, all hell broke loose. Any idea what may be causing this?

I'm aware of the problem.

I don't yet know where the Wonder info is saved, but it is not savd in the cities. I've been working on it, but noy yet reached any results.

Not at the moment, but I might be able to figure it out if I test it myself. It might have something to do with that the army uses era specific art, so that you have to copy it as well. It might also be that the game can't figure out what icon to use for it.

When you created your new units did you make a unit folder for them? In that folder if you have to copy another unit's art over into the folder. Once you do that you have to rename all of the .ini to the name of the new unit. If this doesn't work it could possibly have something to do with pediacons. Hopefully I understood you correctly, and this information is able to help you.

Well I see the icon in the build list, but as soon as I click on it the game crashes. Is there anything I can send you to help you figure it out? I have Norton Crashguard so I could send you the details that it gives about the crash. I can't make heads or tails about what it says myself, I'm not a programmer.

Check if you have the folder with the unit name. If not create, or send me a mail and I'll send you a new beta (most likely on Saturday if you aren't quick)

Well one thing I see that might be causing the problem. I copied an Army unit, but the ini file is pointing to the settler data. Can I fix that just by copying the army info, or is there some sort of pointer in the bic file that also needs to be changed?
