This is my biggest and best project until today, the American continent Mod (ACM). These are the main files and both have almost 63 mega.
To play you have to copy the directory ACM into “conquests” directory of your Civilization 3 Conquests. This first version just works in Conquests, I hope do the conversation to PTW and Vanilla in the future.
PS: In these files bright static LHs, if u want turn them animated u must download other necessary files that are after the below image.

http://www.civfanatics.net/downloads/civ3/modpack/acm02.zip

EDITED: download also this small path to fix the problem with 4 wonder splashs that were using RGB color and not Index Color how it suppose to use. U must copy these 4 files into "wonder splash" directory, replace the files: http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads9/ACM-path01.zip



These are the files to turn the LHs animated. Download them and replace for that ones that come with ACM. The files are in ACM/ARTS/FLICS and u just need replace that ones that has the *.flc extension.
A.e: if u just want uses the Brazilian LH animated and all others static, it is possible (u just need download the Brazilian leader).
PS: If u want replace the Brazilian LH (or another one) u also can do that, but u need copy all the necessary files and do the configuration in the *.biq and *.txt files. Use my library (link in my sign) to find some links that could be useful.

Final considerations

Credits:
CivArmy (me) is the creator of the American Continent Mod and just him (me) speaks in name of this mod.
Thank you very much to Sword of Geddom who developed the Tech Tree base, almost all evolution line of the units and with many suggestions.
Thanks for all the other posters who helped me with new LH, units, wonders, icons, texts, suggestions and other stuffs. Yeah!!! The project is ready people!!!
Thanks for CFC who storage this mod. I love the forum and I hope help it with my mod.
Thank u for playing!


Expansion pack:
I’m developing the expansion pack, with new civis, wonders, units... the link of the discussions is http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=107155 . I also want create a *.biq just using present countries, other just using Native American civis and other projects.
 
Wow!

My only comment at this stage is that it would be incredibly good if all those LH files could be combined into one enormous Zip file to download in one go. It seems to me that even though it would take a long time to download, that would be vastly more convenient than having to download zillions of smaller ones (you could at least leave it to its own devices and go and do something else).

I like the idea of add-on scenarios. Do other mods do that? Sounds interesting...

Yes, it is, but it would take more 300 mega of the CFC server and the files were here before ACM, for this reason I just posted the links to save the CFC server space :) It could be a big problem to dial-upers too in case of a big file with the *.flc. Other reason to use this small file download process is people can choice what LH they want to anime and just download the chosen ones, some people has already downloaded some of them, in case of the big file they would have to download the same LH again :)

I wanna do some scenarios using the ACM stuffs, I have some good ideas, I hope launch them soon :cool:
 
I don't understand.Can you eplain a little deeper?I I extracted both of the first files and the mod was not in the game when I turned it on.I'm not tech savy.

U created the directry "acm" when u unzip the two first files of this thread. U must move "acm" into your .../Civilization3/Conquests/Conquests directory. In the "acm" u find three *.biq files, these files must be when your other *.biq are. Turn the game on and load "American continent mod.biq" or "ACM - huge map of America (fake starting location)" or "ACM - huge map of America (real starting location)" :)
 
Thankyou. By the way I love your Bush leader head.My mother voted for that guy.Although after I brought up why he was the better choice.

I have to finish this LH, I'm just waiting people calm down and forget that off-topic thread to continue his LH. It'd be a great sum to scenarios like "World 2005" :)
 
All's that I can say is: un f***ing believable.

NICE WORK CIVARMY!
 
Im Sppechless

OMG

Good Job

this is going to be a nice christmas present civarmy :D ... i just downloaded it and checked it out quickly... looks very good, hopefully i'll get enough time off work to try it out in the next few days... one question, i thought i saw you make a map with all the cities on the Americas... did you actually do that??.. i mean a map with all the cities already placed... i thought i saw that in a thread earlier on... anyway, looks like a great mod :D

thanks for enjoying friend! I didn't do a map of the Americas with cities, but it is a good idea and I can do in the future :) . U have two maps of Americas to chocie in this first version, one with real starting location and other with fake starting location.
play when u have spare time and enjoy! :)
 
hey civarmy,

i was trying out your mod today (without the xtra leaderheads), and it was great... i like how you start out with cavemen and it takes a long time at the beginning to advance.... i started out as the brazilians, and played for quite a few turns.... then i met the Tupi (they were the first civ i met) and i went to talk to them.... as soon as i did this the game exited, without any warning :sad: has this happened to you? i just found it strange that it would do this... maybe it's a bug?? has anyone else had this happen? i will try again later and tell you if it happens...

never happened with me :confused: But I will try to do this meet using the editor (and search where the error is :) ).


EDITED: I find the error (and don't know how to fix it :sad: or why it is happening :crazyeye: ). When I tried to call civs with static LHs the error happens, when the LH is animated everyghing happens okay. Check, if u call Americans/Mayans/Aztecs/Incans/Iroquois everything is okay, cos these LHs are animated. BTW, doesn't matter if the LH of your civ is static or animated. I didn't check this error before, cos I did all the tests using animated LHs. For people solve it, it will be necessary download all the animated LHs before starting playing. It will be the solution, until I find a better one.
I have hipoteses to the error: or the pallete of the static LHs has some problem or Civ3 is looking for the 121 necessary frames and when didn't find the game exist. But I'm sure I played in the past just using static LH and I didn't find errors, it also could be a bug of my version of my Conquests (the version doesn't accept static LHs).
If someone knows other solution to this problem, please, post ;)
