One additional bit is used in the small wonders flags in the BLDG sections. It indicates that a victorious army is required. The field now looks like this:
4 long small wonders (binary):
00000000
increases chance of leader appearance .......1
build armies without leader ......1.
build larger armies .....1..
treasury earns 5% ....1...
build spaceship parts ...1....
reduces corruption ..1.....
decreases success of missile attacks .1......
allows spy missions 1.......
allows healing in enemy territory .......1
required goods must be in city radius ......1.
requires victorious army .....1..

By the way, if you check the about box in Civ3edit, it says the BIC version. Is it 2.10 with the patch?
In the BIC header, I think the 1 indicates the amount of headers or something (as stupid as the 1 at the start of the RULE section).
The 2 and 5 (now 10) indicate the major and minor BIC versions. |
Yes, you are right. I've seen some strings from the memory, left in SAVs, at unused places. There is spoken about BIC ver 2.9, 2.7 and 2.10.
Also the VER# seem to be a section.
So the file should begin with 4 bytes "BIC " that indicates that it is a BIC-file, and then the sections start.
The first section is VER# (BIC Header)
4 string VER#
4 long Number of headers (1)
4 long Remaining length of header
4 long 0
4 long 0
4 long BIC major version number (2)
4 long BIC minor version number (10)
640 string description
64 string title

any experience with the EXPR section?
has anybody experienced with the EXPR section and added new EXPR levels that total higher in number than
the original 4 levels?
i tried to. works well for the editor and the game except that the game dont seem to make use of what comes after the 4th level as well as leaders being generated at that very level.
has anybody experienced the same or contrary?

Sure, I had an offline version of it anyway to make the updating easier.
I didn't make any updates yet, by the way. And since I don't have Civ3 anymore I won't be doing any "research". I will keep "monitoring" this thread though, and I'll update it if any new things are discovered.

Yes that's correct. We have 15 tribes for each of the five culture groups plus one generic tribe.

Just thought I would mention that the BIC format has not changed for patch 1.17 (BIC format is still BIC version 2.10). The values of several fields changed, and I have listed the changes in my reply to this thread.
An interesting side note is that the editor included in the initial release of the patch claims to be editor version 1.17/BIC version 3.0. That version of the editor creates BIC files that are unusable by Civ III with the 1.17 patch, the "new" version of the editor that we must download to correct this is editor version 1.15/BIC version 2.10. Perhaps an indication that more changes are already being worked on?

Of the 52 bytes in the WCHR section after the length, Im working
on the assumption that its 13 long values. So far ive nailed down the function of the final long value.
long mapsize (0 = tiny, 4 = huge)
Hope that helps at least a bit. Ill post anything else I find out too that isnt already in the thread.

Hi,
I'm making a mod with a friend and we've come up with an idea that we think would be really cool. However, we have no idea if it's possible and the posted BIC file format does not seem to have any flag indicating otherwise.
What we want to do is to make mountains impassable. We feel that mountain ranges could be great strategic barriers. Ideally the worker could walk on mountains and make a moutain pass for others to use. But we can deal with this being impossible.
If anyone knows if (how) it is possible to accomplish either of these I'd be really grateful. I noticed there are a few bytes kicking around the BIC file that are still unidentified.
Thanks
John

I bought the game and played it, and when I went to edit it, even with all the posts on this site, pretty much gave up, But by chance I found this thread and can now edit to my hearts content, I read Hex, So with your notes and tid-bits I will edit and edit and edit, with my brothers 3d studio max experience I will be able to have some pretty neat 3d characters to add to the game too,
