If you add a new technology or change technology prerequisites, etc, does the Science Advisor screen update automatically, or do you have to mess with the suspicious-looking science_ancient.pcx, science_middle.pcx, etc in the \art\advisors\ directory?

Those files seem to contain the arrows for the Science Advisor screen.

yeah i think you have to edit that. there is also a spot somewhere in which you enter the coordinates for the new tech's box. in that same spot you would change coords for the techs that had to be moved to make room.

I second this vote. I'm ok working wiith the editor and doing simple stuff like changing the names on .ini files, but I'm just over my head with stuff like the C3CT. I've been making a mod using the LWC mod as my base, and then changing unit names, etc. But If someone could use the C3CT, add a half-dozen each of wonders, units, improvements, and especially civs, it'd truly warm the cockles o' my heart.

Mizaq's Root Mod for the MultiTool Challenged

So far I have 12 blank city improvements, 12 blank great wonders, and 12 blank small wonders. I call them blank because they are just copies of temple, pyramids, and heroic epic but set to integrated defense as prerequisite.

Included in the file is a read me on how to change the text, and which wonder splash corresponds to which entry.

Please, let me know what you think. I plan on adding a couple copies of everything to it, but its 430am and I have class tomorrow so I need to sleep and I'll work on it later. LOL, I couldn't sleep last night either thinking about making this.

ps. tested using the correct 1.17f editor and includes civilopedia.txt and pediaicons.txt and a readme and bic of course.

I added a new Tech but when I opened the science advisor screen all of the techs where in the right place but the arrows where in the wrong direction and i couldn't select a tech. also what cordenets do you recomend puting a knew tech at if you are in the modern age. Another thing how do you package the .txt and with what packager.

yes... it downloads as attachment.zip... tried 3 diff programs: winzip, winrar, and winace. one file in the little zip thinks it is 550+MB. downloaded it a couple of times to make sure it wasn't damaged during the transfer.

you know... it is such a small zip why didn't you just download and try it.

Wow, dutcheese, good to see you're still alive! Haven't seen you in a *LONG* time... Still as busy as always? If not, you should should come and visit the CtP2 forums sometimes, we've done some pretty interesting things with the game since it was released. I think you of all people will appreciate what we've done with SLIC as well...

On topic (somewhat):
Since the server change many people are having trouble downloading attached zip files. There are two solutions for this: (1) the people to whom this applies should use the program GetRight to download files and/or (2) people should avoid attaching zip files. Either attach files in a different file format (txt, doc, whatever) or people should upload their files to external websites and link to those websites from Apolyton.

Hi, I was wondering if you could prevent certain civ's to build certain units. I'm planning on doing a very detailed WW2 scenario and i want to have every civ have its own units (like the germans the panther and me109 and the americans the sherman etc.) Now I know its probably not possible to completely change the tech tree but at least I could take the existing one and just rename the techs, is that right? Now of course I don't want e.g. the americans to be able to build panthers etc. so is there a way to turn that off? Any help greatly appreciated, also if anyone wants to get together with me to do this too. I'm more of a graphics person (i can model all the units needed with 3ds max) but not really a coder.
Bye,
Michael

open up the civ3editor and look at how they made only americans build the F16.

OK... I followed your instructions for a new city improvement. Everything works ok except:

After clicking on the building in the queue it won't display the image of the building in the box when the queue is closed? And it never appears on the city display screen. I have added the image at the end of both building pcx files. Am I missing something?

To make matters more interesting I added a 5 wonders and 5 new improvements. Now they all show up fine in the queue BUT when you select them they don't display in the little box?

So if I understand the programming the buildingsmall.pcx file is working but the buildinglarge.pcx isn't but why? Makes NO sense.

Anyone?

Mizaq,

How do I go in to edit the units_32.pcx file, it keeps opening in MS Photo Shop, is there other software I should use? I think my problem with using the new unit lies here, since my unit is not on this icon list. Also, beside shifting anything after privateer to the right, do I need to do anything else to this pcx file?

Let me know. Thanks.

Argh, email me you guys, I've been gone a lot lately (knee deep in schoolwork). Anyways, I use paint shop pro v4.12 for my pcx editing needs, but you could probably use the newest version of PSP (or even adobe photoshop) to do the editing with. I went as far as to associate the file type .pcx with PSP so I could skip that other crap loading up.

NoS, do you have the civilopedia entry in there as well?

#ICON_BLDG_Longevity
SINGLE
art\civilopedia\icons\buildings\longevitylarge.pcx
art\civilopedia\icons\buildings\longevitysmall.pcx

(in pediaicons.txt)

and make sure that you added room in the small and large buildings art file.

*sigh* excuse my n00bishness but I only recently got back into Civ3 editing b\c of the ability to place cities and units w\ the new patch but for some reason the editor always has both options blanked out. I don't know why, and its somewhat annoying as other parts of my scenario tinkering are close to done but I have yet to be able to place cities and units. Any help is much appreciated

jreza99, you must first set the active player to the player you want to add the cities and units for you can set the active player by clicking the Shield looking icon on the toolbar (next to the world icon).

I added 3 units to my civ3mod.bic using Civ3Edit, adding 3 icons to units_32.pcx and creating the appropriate folders. Everything about the units works fine, except that now workers and settlers look like armies and leaders (I know what causes this, but I don't know how to fix it). I added the new icons in the proper location (before the age-specific icons), so this should work fine, but it doesn't. Is this some kind of bug in Civ3Edit (perhaps the editor fails to save the new number of units in the UNIT section)?

	Full PM-box? Change here!

I have read a post somewhere on here, about how when you change Magellan's Voyage to give all cities a Harbor, it WILL give ALL cities a Harbor, including inland cities.

Now, I might be nitpicking, but I want to change Magellan's Voyage to give a Harbor for all COASTAL cities. Why would it give a Harbor for inland cities, when Harbor is already designated as a coastal facility on the Buildings Editor section??

Also, I have read about new terrain and new resources in this thread, and that thread. Is there one central thread on this particular topic??
I want to preview people's comments and ideas on the new terrain and resources that have been proposed and/or created.

thanks

There is this communique: "missing entry in Pediaicons.txt _LARGE"

I don't now that is wrong.
Can anybody help me?

Each tech needs 2 entries in the Pediaicons.txt - one for the small icon and one for the large icon - apparently you are missing the one for the large icon (or both).

I'm not sure if you are quoting the error in its entirety, but if the tech is not named in the error message, it's because you haven't added the Civilopedia entry in the BIC. In the Civilopedia Entry box you have to write "TECH_MyTechname".

In the entry for the large icon, do you have _LARGE appended to the entry?

So it in effect says: #TECH_MyTechname_LARGE

If you do - email me the BIC and Pediaicons.txt, and I'll take a look at it, and see if I can figure it out.
