Hey Plutarch, great work! I followed your lesson plan and actually managed to not have any problems adding a new improvement with cityscreen pic in queue. However (and I hate to do this to you...) being an obsessed perfectionist myself, could you (or any kind souls out there) actually go through the trouble of teaching us poor bastards exactly how to make a new improvement pop up in the city view screen? Please? I know the pay off is indeed too little, but perhaps having my graditude is reason enough?

Marc

P.S. As a side note, does anybody know what unit this is? It's listed as icon #87 in the editor.

I tried this procedure, but now I can't get into my editor?



I saved a back-up and started with the procedure:
When I got to my multi tool, it asked for the name,
I tried putting in civ3mod.bic and it said it didn't have a map? I tried with it saying no map, and with my mod, and both times, when I clicked the big copy, it changed the unit to settler, and I got 1 ok, saying complete. After the first one, I looked in my editor, but it wasn't there, then when I tried with my mod, after the same responce, I couldn't get back to my editor? I can't get back into it from anywhere? Do you know what happened?

The Multitool isn't for PTW. You can add with you normal editor and the civelopedia.txt and etc. the symbols manually. I think ou don't use Writing (the symbol) for other techs. for examble make a new symbol:

I was responding to the initial post for tutorial.

I don't have ptw. I sorta fixed it though, I had to reinstall to get my editor working again. Now I have back-up copies of everything. But I still don't know what happened? Why it crashed on me? I also assumed that when he refered to Civ3 Copy Tool, he meant the Civ3 Multi Tool by Gramphos....

Also, I created an animation using the tutorial from here, and I can't get my .flc file to be read by FLICster, says it must be a non-civ3 .flc? I even took my animination and went over an existing usable file and renamed it. Still wouldn't read it? Anyone know why?

Plutark or anyone else may be able to solve my question.
I changed some of the unit graphics in the editor (PTW) w/ some of the extras that came with PTW. The building que (right click outside city menu) will show the changed unit that has replaced for example the old archer.But, the unit when built is stil the old graphic for the archer. If I left click on the city, the unit inside is the new version but the building que on the city view is still the old archer unit.
This thread talks about adding new units. I just want to change graphics for what was already there. Is the process the same? If the answer has already been posted plz direct me there. thanx

foreign advisor screen Tired of ads?

I made a new civ and graphics and all, but, as others have had problems with, the foreign advisor screen graphics don't work. I make a pcx file for the new civ, and I added the line in the pedia file that specifies what pcx file to use (btw, the picture files used in the foreign advisor screen are in the advisors folder for some reason), but I still get the unknown civ picture even after I've encountered the new civ...

I followed your steps on how to create your own units but whenever I try to load up my scenario I get the following Error message:

I was just messing around with creating my own unit and Brigantine is what I named it. Any idea on what I did wrong or why it isnt working? Any help would be appreciated thank you for your time.

adding technologies Get a bigger avatar today!

I downloaded the monsterman mod from his website, but it didnt load and said that technologies are missing from the pediaicons.txt. So it turns out the pediaicons.txt doesn't have the techs in it, so I copy them from the backup, but it still doesn't work. I see that it has new techs in it, so i try to add the techs by adding new entries, and use on of the other icons for the techs, but it still doesn't work.

I have civ III vanilla, and patch 1.29f.

I tried to change writing, by lowering the icon in the editor, but it doesn't have one.

Can someone tell me how to do this.

That's a reael waste of time. You could just download the A Civ tool from Utilities in files that has a Wizard to do all of it for you.
Not to insult your intelligence or anything. Backward programming like that is hard.

Help adding an existing (sort of) unit Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

I'd appreciate the help, this might be a dumb question nut I'll ask anyway.I'm trying to add a P-51 unit to the Pacific War scenario. I've already got the Civilopedia entry done and such.

My question is how do I get the scenario to use icon 157 for the unit animations in game? That aircraft would make a decent P-51 but so far I can't figure out how to use it in game.

If that's not possible can some on point me to where I might find a acceptable aircraft unit to use?
