.bic

[Chaotic Reform]

Whenever I unzip a scenario, it always comes out as a .bic file, not .biq, how can I fix this?

 

[Chaotic Reform]

Sorry for the double post, but its not bic to biq, its unzipped as a .bix file, not .bic.

you rename the file from bic to bix, or biq

It doesn't work, thats the problem, simply renaming it is pointless.

its for the different civ versions:
bic = Standard Civ3
bix = Civ3PTW
biq = C3C

so you need the right version to play the specific scenario/map

Ohh, thank's a lot, I never knew that. Damn, this sucks since most of the scenarios are in ptw. Well thanks anyways, I appreciate your help.

hehe

no problem - i'm glad i could help

and i guess soon they will be for C3C

It would be great for map designers if there were a means to translate biq to bic and bix to bic.

hint, hint, hint, hint.... anyone?

I don't know in which forum this thread originated, but, anyway...

This game is back-compatible (or however you say it English)!
This means that if you have C3C you can play all three types of maps. In the editor you can use the File\Import function to import a bic or bix, and remake it to a biq.

DesertWolfs definitions were correct, but his conclusion was wrong.

As to Flamegrapes request, that's not possible, as C3C includes features not in civ3.

Good luck.
