Do you mean you want to rename them & use them in a different mod?

Your question should be a bit clearer than what you wrote. I think you mean you want to have the Burial Mound building and Timber resource in your mod.

To get the Burial Mound pedia files, you go to the Conquests/Art/Civilopedia/Icons/Buildings folder and find it. Although, you dont need these files in your mod folder necessarily, since its already in the Conquests expansion folder and the BIQ loads those files if you say so. For the city screen file, you go to one of the Conquest scenarios like Rise of Rome or Mesopotamia, and open up the buildings.pcx in the City Screen folder and copy that icon into your buildings.pcx file.

Believe it or not, it depends on what OS you are using.

There is a different method for each to avoid stuff going into virtual store.

Me too.

Microsoft in their infinite wisdom decided that for our own good you should not be changing files that are in the folders of published software, they claim it is a security issue.

It may sound a bit convoluted, but it is in the long run the best way I have found to replace files on computers with virtual store. If you change files frequently, the virtual store will become your enemy, unless you stop them from going there in the first place.

1)Go to the folder with the file you want to replace (eg. file.pcx), rename the file that you want to replace (eg. file.pcx>>to>>oldfile.pcx), this is so you don't lose the original file.
2)Have the replacement file you want to use on the desktop, rename it on the desktop (eg. newfile.pcx).
3)Copy newfile.pcx from the desktop to the folder where the oldfile.pcx is and then rename it (eg. file.pcx).

The only files the will be in the virtual store will be your save files. Believe me this is better than submitting to the compatibility mode.

Let's go off topic tell me all about the virtual store

If you try to replace a file in a folder of a published software, it will not be saved to that folder, will go into another identically named folder in the virtual store folder.

When you go to open the file you will notice that it has not been changed, that's because it wasn't replaced, it was stored in the virtual store.

You can retrieve the file from virtual store and copy it to the folder you want using the method in the prior post, but it is best not to have it go to virtual store in the first place.



Best to create a scenario folder and build everything in that folder for your scenario, makes things easy to manage.

Very funny.

 

[Pounder]

Are you serious or just a troll.

Have you ever copied and pasted? Renamed a file?

 

[chickenx4]

I'm serious

Edit: and yes I know how to copy and paste and rename

 

[Pounder]

Sorry, just having difficulty understanding what you are asking for.

 

[chickenx4]

I want to copy the burial mount and timber resource from Mesopotamia

 

[Pounder]

C:\Program Files (x86)\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III\Conquests\Conquests\Mesopotamia\Art\Civilopedia\Icons

I think what you are looking for is in this folder, just copy and paste them into your \Art\Civilopedia\Icons folder.

 

[chickenx4]

I copied the civilopedia icon but I need the one from the one with the purple background
