Flicster Source code

[Kobra]

Hi,

For a personnal project, I'd like to use civ3's units or civFanatics'ones. Does anyone know the language and/or the libraries used for Flicster to read Flc files ? Or maybe someone could give me Flicster sources code to help me ?

Thanks all

I don't know the answer to that.

Your best bet would be to try the Civ3 - Creation & Customization subforum. That's where the modders tend to congregate.

They are in the ART/Flics folder.

The source code is in ./art/flics/ ? I know where flc files are, but I'm looking for a library that could read these files. Do you know in which language flicster is writen : C ? C++ ?

C&C probably would be your best bet, as CommandoBob mentioned.

However, Google might also be the best bet. Google fairly quickly gave me an overview of the FLC format, as well as a FLC utility with source in C, as well as Java. I haven't looked at those links in much detail myself, but they may be what you need.

I can't imagine there is any reason to ever distribute the source code. First why would you want it public and second, why would you want to add to size of the data being packaged?

You could try on the creation forum as there could be someone that had access to code at one point and could at least answer as to the format.

I'm looking for a library to create a FLC player. I'll try in C&C forum.
