Civ3Qedit, Error: Could not open file for writing

[Bugfatty300]

Yeah. Go to C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Civilization III Complete\Conquests

Delete the "Civ3ConquestsEdit" file and then drag it back into conquest via the CD.

yep. that might work, unless the editor installed some extra files somewhere

I couldn't find the conquest editor just sitting on the cd. Must be incoded in the install files. So I can't do as you two suggest.

 

[Unnamed_Sniper]

did you look everywhere? like in folders and stuff? mine was seperate, if i recall correctly. although it might have been an option after running the installer. try running the installer again and see if it pops up.

Theres something called "EREG US" but no option to install editor, i tried repair, that didnt work. I tried reinstall(deleting editor beforehand).. that didn't work. I've now uninstalled and reinstalled.

Still gives the write error. But now it says "Error: Could not open file art\terrain\x_airfields and detect pxc. Check to make sure the editor is run from the folder where civilization III was installed" When I first load it.

So now its even worse! BTW its running from the folder conquest was installed, not the main civ3 folder.

then try mpving it to the main folder and try finding that art file. My vanilla editor only runs from the folder where civ 3 was installed. I need to make an alias on the desktop to open it from there.
the location of my folder is Macintoch HD/GAMES/Civilization 3/Civ3 Edit

Well the ptw editor worked fine from the ptw folder. But now civ3 doesnt work at all

I once again uninstalled and reinstalled but it only got worse.

woah... that looks bad. Are you sure you don't have a virus or something?
