I'm trying to replace the Coastal Fortress with a new building. Have added the new pix in the buildings large & small.pcx in the City Screen folder, and have added 10 new .pcx (5 large, 5 small, still using the original Coastal Fortress names) in the Civpedia Buildings folder. The new building picture is displaying properly in the city screens during gameplay.
Problem is the CIVILOPEDIA still displays the old Coastal Fortress picture in its list of buildings and in the upper right corners (larger pic) on the buildings list page as well as the actual page for the Coastal Fortress.
I haven't changed anything in the Civilopedia or Pediaicons.txt files, and also didn't mess with the PRTO_... reference for the Coastal Fortress in the Editor, just changed the building name and characteristics.
What do I have to do to get the Civilopedia to display the new building?

Also, I'm getting a rash of pop-ups on this site all of a sudden. Is my end causing it, or is this the "new" and more commercial Civilization Fanatics site?

Thanks Much!
 
Actually, the fact that you haven't changed anything in the Pediaicons.txt file is the reason the pics are still of the coastal fortress. Just open the Civilopedia.txt file and search for the description of the coastal fortress, change the everything as needed there, and then open the Pediaicons.txt file and look for a designation called #ICON_BLDG_Coastal_Fortress (this shouldn't be too hard to find if you use "ctrl+f" to search it). There you'll simply need to change the pics (one small, one large) that show up when the Coastal Fortress is clicked in the Civpedia directory. Hope that helps.
 
I've never had any popups on this site so it's probably on your end. I think Gen. Rom. covered everything else. :)

It's most likely on your end, though occasionally ads at the top and bottom may cause this. They're not supposed to, though, so you can report such ads in Site Feedback. So next time you see a pop-up coming from this forum, take a screenshot of the top and bottom ads.
