Help with world builder maps

[mediterreania]

I made a map with an external map-maker, then loaded it up and opened WorldBuilder to fine tune. The problem is, the only place where I can save the finished map is in a folder called "WorldBuilder." I can open it up just fine under Scenarios, but I can't find the actual .Civ4WorldBuilderSave to edit the XML.

I'm on a Mac using the crappy Aspyr Media version of Civ4 right now.

In windows the location would be by default C:\Users\Padjur\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Saves\WorldBuilder.
Right click on your save file, select "edit with (your xml editor)"

I'm on a Mac. That may be the problem.

Leaving aside my natural inclination to make some witty remark about Mac's for the time being, isn't it something like ~/documents/Civilization IV/Saves/ folder in Finder for a mac?

Under what directory is ~/documents under?

It's apparently the standard Documents folder on the Mac. The WorldBuilder saves should be in a folder located in the same folder as the folder where the regular game saves are located. Saving a game the regular way should pop up a screen that lets you look around to see where it would put it. If you still can't find it, then I suggest asking for help in the Civ4 - Macintosh forum.

Its in the Home folder with the music and picture files, if I remember rightly. The directory would be something like
Macintosh HD / Users / (your user name) - Home folder
maybe?

Alright, I asked there too. Couldn't find it anywhere on the computer. That's what I get for buying a crappy $4.99 "Limited Edition" Civ from the App store.

Luckily, my home computer has Civ4 Complete that's much easier to mod.
