Thought I'd drop this here, since it feels like the definitive, final fix for the terrain edition issues (or in fact any Civ2 .gif file edition). I have created a thread on the gimp forums and with a bit of advice from people, managed to overcome the grey triangle issues, here's the link with...

I'm a self-proclaimed terraformation junkie and have just now switched from version 1.13 to 1.20 and the terraforming UI improvements are just amazing. @FoxAhead, thank you for doing this tremendous, useful work, I hope you get all the best in life for continuing to do this for the Civ2 community.

I have backups. However, I would certainly like to know how could the core files possibly affect the whole thing when clearly during the scenario gameplay, they are not used. On top of that, I also play regular games using said core files and have no problems. Finally, by core files I understand...

Yes, the core rules.txt file has been heavily modified, I keep several versions of it and use them depending on the type of game that I'm currently playing. They have never caused any problems throughout any of the hundreds of games I've had. Still can't quite fathom how the game decides to use...

Wow this just happened again. Fortunately, I had a backup save from 5 turns before. The scenario is this one: sleague.civfanatics.com/index.php?title=The_Age_of_Númenor_v0.2 This time I have not changed a single thing in the txt files. Suddenly I find out Frederick of the Germans and Xerxes of...

Various scenarios. I wouldn't recognize if it happened during regular games since I play these with default settings. As for the files, this happened to the scenario I have attached but to others as well, including Kobayashi's SW insurrection and Barron's Earth 3000, A Time to Stand. I edit txt...

It's MGE with UIA launcher. I recall running into the same problem even without the launcher. The problem is that it is so random and not easy to replicate.

I think if I skipped a comma somewhere, the game simply would not load. It's usually quite explicit regarding where the problem is. I have not moved any files around or changed file names either. Also at the time when I noticed this (and immediately before), I was not editing any .txt files.

Hi, I've had this problem many times before: At some point during the game (any scenario), I realize that all the other civilizations have defaulted to their vanilla names and titles. On top of that, all scenario parameters are also reset to their default values, the date is recalculated to...

I have a minor update related to this. I was trying to get some help on the GIMP forums but in the process I've found the answer on my own. https://www.gimpusers.com/forums/gimp-user/21160-exporting-gif-files-corrupts-color-information#message92459 The last message details the definitive process...

Thanks Professor, I'm having some fun already.

This is great stuff, thank you, I had no idea somebody has already carried out the extensive work of mapping out individual bytes in save files.

I meant something else, namely the villages only/roving bands/restless tribes/raging hordes setting. Once selected for a scenario, there is apparently no way to change it afterwards, other than creating a new game and choosing a different option. However, this value has to be hardcoded...

Is there any way to change or disable/enable barbarians once a .scn file has already been created? There doesn't seem to be any such option in the scenario parameters so I guess the only thing left is hex editing. Has anybody done this before?

It also automatically "irrigates" whatever terrain happens to be under your city. If that terrain however does not get any irrigation bonuses in the @TERRAIN section in rules.txt, it won't give extra food. For example building on forest still yields just one food, since irrigate bonus is listed...
