I tried the installation guidelines Stargate provided in his T4T thread, but when I go to start up the mod it turns out a file can't be found. What do I need to to to get the mod installed?
Which file can't be found? [snip]
"spacing"?![]()
[snip]Sorry I can't help you, then.
Any convenient hex editor ought to do the trick. This thread shows how tough it will be just to change terrain.Does anybody know of a Mac app I could use to edit biq files?
I used the "find out the hard way" argument, you used the "based on my experience" argument. Maybe I should go back to having the thread where I, amongst others, whined to you & Brad Oliver bookmarked for easy linkability. I don't understand why 4 years later "where's the editor?" still comes up.biq files are pure binary. Your chances of editing them without a dedicated Civ3 scenario editor are as near zero as it's possible to get. I have *occasionally* succeeded in using HexEdit to change a single parameter when there was no other way to fix a problem in SGOTM saves, but I really don't recommend it as a fun way to spend your time.

PS. I've had a quick look at that file, and I don't see why you need to edit it. It fails when I try to open it because it's looking for the entry 'ICON_BLDG_Buddhism' in PediaIcons.txt. So the problem is in the PediaIcons.txt file, not in the .biq file.
The file I'd like to edit comes with Joel West's addon to T4T. One which looks for a Test 4 Time folder instead of the Test IV Time folder. To change it so it looks for "Test IV Time" instead is my goal.
WHy not just change the folder name to match what it's looking for? I don't see that as a Mac-specific issue. Those folder names will not look the same in Windows either!
Make two copies of the folder, one with each name?
You have a most fortunate habit of simplifying things. I'll try your advice.
Update: And it sort of worked, unfortunately Joel's scenario can't find Conquests Game Data/text/PediaIcon: ICON_BLDG_Market. There is a Conquests Game Data/text/PediaIcon: ICON_BLDG_Marketplace, but no ICON_BLDG_Market. So Joel's scenario is looking for something that does not exist.
