I make a mod where I want to add 5 civilizations. I work now on the version 1 of the mod that will integrate these civilizations.

But I've been confronting to a color problem. When you change the color of a civilization, Civ3 crash every time just after the first turn of a game.

So I've tried to let him choose the color without modyfing it. And that was surprise ! The color in editor was red and in game yellow ! And it works.... until now.... I will test that more seriously and I will make a post if it works.

But now the questions are:
_ How the game will react with, for example, Egyptian (yellow) and my new civ (yellow too)?
_ And are the animations being bind with civilizations color? (modification in the editor where you see Era).


We need a new editor quick.... (Firaxis,what are you doing?)
 
What I've discovered is that CivIII has a problem using any color beyond black. I'd created several new races then had problems assigning unique colors. Whenever I'd start a game using a race with a new color it would dump out at the end of the first round.

Seems like another bugfix to include in the next patch!

Yes but I think it is due to an animation file that can be designed in the editor where you see Era. Cause my new civilization has got as color red in editor and yellow in play. And I've copied the egyptian files animation to my new civ. So I think there's a link between the two....

But I can't test that cause I know nothing about animation and also draw. I suggest this to someone that has got more knowledges than me in civilization 3's animations.
 
Yes excellent. I confirm. If you want to add a civ, don't change the color. And don't forget to modify the diplomacy.txt and to add the color fix patch.
