Civilopedia

T-Money · Jul 18, 2004, 06:01 AM

Is there a way to create civilopedia entries/images for your new units? Also, if you make an icon for your unit, where do you put it? Like for the editor, if I open editor to work on my scen and I want to mess with my created units, then how do I get my own icon in that selection? Or in the game, how do I get my unit's icon on that list? In fact, how do I get my unit on that list at all without replacing another unit? Sorry for all these questions at once, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm putting together a Greek City-State scenario and I need to know.

Read the guide in the unit creation forum for how to add units, which includes adding civilopedia entries. Adding pedia icons is a bit more involves, but most created units come with the pedia icons anyway. If you want their icon to appear in the editor you must add it to the units_32.pcx file you'll be using for your scenario. Again, many created units come with this file, otherwise it's not too hard to make your own. I think all you need to do is take a screenshot of the unit in its default stance, put it on the standard magenta background and add it into the pcx file.
