View Full Version : adding new units
gutiejr Jun 24, 2002, 11:43 PM Ive tried numerous times to add new units to my game, with no success. I have downloaded a substantial amount of FLICs as well as unit graphics, and have never succeded to add any new units to my game. Ive created new FLICs for all animes including victory to the unit art. I have added the FLICs, sounds and even the pcx file to the civilopedia, I can never get new units to be in the bic that Im creating. The latest one was the horse archer, which I followed step by step, but I was never able to add it. Please could someone help, because this will really affect my scenario making abilities.
Level Jun 25, 2002, 12:03 AM Do you have Civ3MultiTool or a hacked Civ3Edit.
In a hacked Civ3Edit just click add on the unit tab.
the latest version of Civ3MultiTool has a unit wizard.
gutiejr Jun 25, 2002, 12:49 AM Yeah I have them both, but I tried to use them with v.1.21 and I had to realod the game onto my computer because it was jacked.
Level Jun 25, 2002, 01:01 AM Do you have the newest version of both?
When you add a unit make sure it has the exact same name as the folder and the INI in the folder.
gutiejr Jun 25, 2002, 02:40 AM Where can I get the newest version of both???
and what do you mean when you asked:
When you add a unit make sure it has the exact same name as the folder and the INI in the folder
gutiejr Jun 25, 2002, 07:27 AM I still really dont understand how to use this thing....
I mean I copy a unit, and no new unit show up, I also have tried changing the name and it messes up my bic file..
Im pulling out my hair trying to figure it out
Level Jun 25, 2002, 10:32 AM The newest versions are in the utility section.
It was a statment, the name of the unit, the folder, and the INI must be the same.
There is a tutorial on how to add units (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9337)
gutiejr Jun 26, 2002, 11:09 PM Hey! It finally worked, now, how do I get the unit picture in the box on the scenario, you know for changing the unit animation?
Level Jun 27, 2002, 10:06 AM What do you mean by: how do I get the unit picture in the box on the scenario?
To edit the unit animation use FLICster (in the utility section) and a good graphics editor like Paint Shop Pro.
gutiejr Jun 27, 2002, 02:05 PM I mean when I start scenario, in the build items, it looks like a general, how can I get it to look like itself?
zulu9812 Jun 27, 2002, 02:30 PM You mean the build queue? That's based on an iconsheet called unirs_32.pcx, located under Art\Units. You need to add to that file
gutiejr Jun 28, 2002, 02:46 AM how do I minipulate it, because everytime I try to open it, it ask open with what? I never know so Ive opened it wth a couple of this, none of them ever being right. Is there a way to minipulate it, especially to do that without ruining the game. Also in the Editor you have to pick graphic 66 which is that general, will that ruin him when he shows up, I mean will he look like a horse archer?
Level Jun 28, 2002, 11:18 AM To add an icon to the units_32.pcx file use a graphic editor like Paint Shop Pro, MS paint can work but has problems.
If you dont add to the units_32.pcx file you, can change the icon to one other then the leader's in the editor, it will only look like that in the build list.
