Where are the unit files?

Dom Pedro II · Oct 29, 2005, 07:35 PM

I was just looking through the folders, and I noticed that the mods have a folder in the Assets folder under Art that is called Units and contains the graphics for the units... however, the regular game doesn't have that. I guess they're on the CD? If yes, then how do I extract them?

You have to get an unpacking utility from the Civ4 site. The files are packed up in the Art0.FPK file. Go to this thread, and follow the links.

Gracias, vingrjoe

Hmmm....

I can't seem to get the files to extract... when I run the unpack feature, nothing new actually appears in the folder...

When you use Pakbuild, click the 'PAK' button on top. Then select the Art0.Pak, and make sure you specify what directory you want it in. When you have everythin unpacked, move the Art0.Pak to the main directory- C:\FiraxisGames\SidMeier'sCivilization4. Move all of the unpacked files into the Assests\Art directory.

Thanks DPII, I don't feel so stupid now.

(I had the exact same questions)

It put the files into the Art folder... no wonder I couldn't find anything new in the Assets directory.
