View Full Version : Cant get these units to work!
Alec006 Jun 30, 2002, 01:27 PM I'm sorry, I just can't figure out how to ADD units. Do i have to sacrifice an old unit or something? Cause i only see rename, no "add" and i noticed, unlike some other places, the units dont have instructions.. Can someon please explain to me?

Download the Hacked Civ3Edit. If you create a new unit (with Hacked Civ3Edit) Make sure you have the foulder and the *.ini file the same name as your new unit.
Alec006 Jun 30, 2002, 08:35 PM All right. I'm not sure. Where do i put the parts
Alec006 Jun 30, 2002, 08:39 PM I typed in the name in the add box, but i dont know what to do now. Any tips?
CivGeneral Jun 30, 2002, 08:39 PM You copy the parts (Flc, wav, and amb) into the Folder that you created and renamed along with the <unitname>.ini file
CivGeneral Jun 30, 2002, 08:42 PM As it says in the Help book in Civ3edit
IMPORTANT NOTE: the name of the unit is how the game identifies the necessary graphics and control files required to display the unit in the game. If you rename the unit in the editor YOU MUST rename the unit's directory(Or at least copy the folder and rename it) (\ART\UNITS\UNITNAME\) as well as the INI file that controls the animations files (\ART\UNITS\UNITNAME\UNITNAME.ini).
Alec006 Jun 30, 2002, 08:45 PM I did that. I have the Humvee file. I put the Humvee stuff in units (under a folder called Humvee)
I then added a unit named Humvee, but it just gave me blank stats. What now?
Dark Sheer Jun 30, 2002, 09:29 PM You will need to adjust the stats for all newly added units yourself. Usually there will be a suggestion for possible unit stats in the unit thread itself. :)
Alec006 Jun 30, 2002, 09:37 PM But i can't even get the image!
Alec006 Jun 30, 2002, 09:40 PM let me clarify, i just want the image! I dont know the rest
Dark Sheer Jun 30, 2002, 10:17 PM Ok, if you want the image for Humvee to appear in your Civ3mod then you need to edit the Units_32.pcx file and copy and paste the small little pcx file into one of the blank square inside the Units_32.pcx file. The small pcx file usually comes with the unit zip file.
Alec006 Jul 01, 2002, 10:09 AM i did, but nothing happens. I cycled through the images to 73 (worker). I have the humvee in cell 74, but nothing happens! When i go to 74, it just shows a blank pink square!
Dark Sheer Jul 01, 2002, 08:36 PM Can you post your units_32.pcx file?

You need to save your .bic, close the editor, then open the .bic again, so the editor can see the changes you made to the units_32.pcx file.
