Is there any editor to transfer BMP graphics into BIC files?
I mean for the Mac, obviously.

Thx
 
BIC files don't contain any graphics, they only contain pointers to .pcx and, .txt files with more .pcx pointers, where all the graphics are defined. SO I guess what you want is a way to convert .bmp files to .pcx? GraphicConerter is the most comprehensive graphics toolkit for Mac that I know of. I suggest you check out what it can do. Note that the unit graphics in Civ3 use a non-standard internal format in the .pcx to define eight different animations, for the eight different movement directions. There are PC utilities to stitch these together but I don't know of a Mac one ... Hmmm! Another utility requirement.

Hey, Alan, STOP, please!

I'm not tech enough to follow you on this route! :-(

I just wanted something able to convert pictures (in BMP format) into CivIII maps (BIC)

If you look again at the thread I gave you for the "unreadable" Denise Lewis map, someone mention a BMP2BIC program used to quickly and easily convert any pic into a map.
I was just wondering if anything similar is available for the Mac.

Ciao
 
The answer is No. Do you really want one?

Well, I wouldn't say this IS a priority.

Therefore, if nothing is already available, then forget about it!

Thx anyway and ciao
