Hacked Civ3 Editor

[metrognome]

is there going to be a post-patch version of this created?

 

[Gromit]

I wanted to ask the same question.

 

[papajohns]

i dont quite understand the add tool..

i cliked the add to create a new unit and it seemed to work, but i cant find any reference of it in all the units/art nor text directory.. where is it storing it in? and do i need to manually add the unit folder and change the ini file and all that stuff still?

You need to MANUALLY add the art and sound files.

The simplest way is to copy one of the folders (may be the one closest to your new unit) into the Art directory with all of the files.

Then you need to rename BOTH the folder AND the .ini file to names IDENTICAL to your new unit's name. DO NOT rename the rest of the files in the directory.

Later, you can substitute graphics and sound files you create or download and change the appropriate references in the ini file.

This might seem like a stupid question, but I'm not really all that familiar with installing game editors and the like. Where do I need to extract the files to in order to make the editor work? Thanks,

ok i've had war with adding units... everything works til i try to build one... do i need a totally new icon for every new unit i make? or what?

 

[Lordvorpal]

will a 1.17 version of the hacked editor come out. willl it continue to be updated with every new patch? Or will it forever remain a 1.16 version?

 

[GIDustin]

The only thing the 1.16 hacked editor has over this new one was add/delete buttons.

Go to the drop down on any tab in the un-hacked 1.17 editor. Choose something and make that bar highlighted. Now hit tab to move the box to the rename button.

Now you can hit "A" to add, or "D" to delete. Essentially, the 1.17 editor is hacked.

Note: I learned this from someone else. That person gets all credit for this discovery

GIDustin, that almost worked when I created a new unit. When my city finished building the unit I crashed

Oh well...

 

[GIDustin]

in your "art\Units" folder, do you have a folder with the exact name as your unit? Is there an "ini" file in there with the exact name as your unit?

Those are the most probable causes for your problem

 

[Charlie Martel]

That worked. Thanks a lot

And to add something in the editor you can just do alt+a, to delete something do alt+d

 

[GIDustin]

No problem.
