Just finished radio tech so LOAD ERROR File not found
"Art\Units\German Heavy Machinegunner\German Heavy Machinegunner.INI"
where can i find the file and where does it fit?

The German Machinegunner Units seem to be working fine for me so ...

It is not included in my mod but is pre-installed with CIV3 Gold Complete.
If You don't have the complete version you need the 1.22 Patch.
Sometimes these files dont copy right. So make sure they are there.

The Picture for it Should be visible from the the Tech Tree. It refers to
#ICON_PRTO_MG-Battalion

The pcx's for this are located in
Drive:\Civ 3 Folder\Conquests\Art\Civilopedia\Icons\Units

art\civilopedia\icons\units\X2_HMGBtln-large.pcx
art\civilopedia\icons\units\X2_HMGBtln-small.pcx

------------------------------------------------

This is the Animations folder for the German MachineGunners

Drive:\Civ 3 Folder\civ3PTW\Extras\World War II\Art\Units\German Heavy Machinegunner

There Should be 19 Objects for a total size of 1.61 MB's

So I got the files and put them in there. It still didn't work so I reloaded kultimate but another problem. will keep posted.
turns out I had to take a copy of the files and put them into KCKult. seems to work fine. I played on standard map pangea. The lack of cushion for ai made short work of them. I think a little distance will help them. I like huge but I also like 32 civs! Good Mod!

This is the Final Version of KCKultimateCIV3. Since The Mod somehow isn't still on the civfanatics server. I decided to maintan a link to an online drive where its held. There are only 2 final changes: I changed the Republic GOV to allow you to sacrifice citzen's to hurry production, early in the game: & I made the Secret Police HQ (Pentagon BLDG - Late Industrial Age) a Small Wonder, so anyone can build Tiger II's.

The UltimateCiv3 and UltimateLTDCiv3 biqs loaded no problem, the rest of them went looking for an entry that isn't in the Conquests Game Data PediaIcon, and so crashed the game. I am not about to mess with Civ3s core files; such as anything found under Civilization III Game Data, Conquests Game Data, or Play the World Game Data. Lessens the chance of my messing up and having to reinstall the game.

Could you correct the errant biqs? Please?

 

[KillCarneyKlansmen]

Well, my Computer just Died & I'm Running BartPE Now. I suppose I could Make a Patch File That searches for the PICT files, and copy's them to my mod's picture folder. But that my take awhile now. Since I cant even run CIV3. You could try copying the pict's once you find them to the mod folder! SEE Previous Post For Folder Paths. Good Luck!!

 

[KillCarneyKlansmen]

Got a new comp running; if someone could tell me the folder path for the expansion versions, I can make a similar mod. In CIV3 Gold most of the extra ANIMS are in the D:\Civilization III Complete\civ3PTW folder can anyone tell me me where they are located for the expansion and what versions you have? A list of folder paths to the Art Folders in in Civ3, PTW & Complete would be helpful !! I dont like leaving things undone, and If I could fix this for everyone that would be great! THANX.

In the Mac version of Civ 3 Complete the art paths are...

Civilization 3 Game Data/Art
Conquests Game Data/Art
Play the World Game Data/Art

(Short, aint they? )

i'm sure somebody will be by with the Windows paths.

BTW, here's the error message I got the last time I tried to load the Ancient scenario...

I downloaded the final version of your mod, and when I tried to load the first scenario in the list, that is the message I got. Is the BIQ supposed to look for TECH_Burial_Rites in Conquests Game Data?

Update: Your KCKultimateCiv3 PediaIcon.txt is looking for the 07-CeremonialBurial-Small.pcx file in the wrong place. It is looking in the Conquests Game Data folder when it needs to be looking in the Civilization 3 Game Data folder.

If you happen to have the KCKultimateCiv3 scenarios and the Civ3 editor, could you do a side by side comparison of the KCKultimateCiv3 BIQ and, oh say, the KCKultimateANCIENT BIQ? There is something different about the latter, and it's keeping the scenario from loading on my Mac. It's not a matter of installing in the right or wrong place. It's not a matter of putting copies of files in certain folders. The KCKultimateANCIENT BIQ does something the KCKultimateCiv3 BIQ does not, and I'd like to know what that is and if it could be changed. You would have my gratitude.

 

[KillCarneyKlansmen]

D:\Civilization III Complete\Art
D:\Civilization III Complete\civ3PTW\Art
D:\Civilization III Complete\Conquests\Art

These are my Game Paths.

D:\Civilization III Complete\Conquests\Conquests\KCKultimateCIV3.biq (Mostly Full Trade Techs)
D:\Civilization III Complete\Conquests\Conquests\KCKultimateLTD.biq (Limited Trade Techs)
D:\Civilization III Complete\Conquests\Scenarios\KCKultimateAncient(LTD).biq THROUGH
D:\Civilization III Complete\Conquests\Scenarios\KCKultimateModern(LTD).biq PLUS
D:\Civilization III Complete\Conquests\Scenarios\KCKultimateFuture.biq

are basically all the same files, in fact I started with KCKultimateCIV3.biq then changed the rest. I need to know the base folder, for Mac, mine is Civilization III Complete. (Though this isn't important for PediaIcons (the path stuff) but is important for install). Make sure the Conquests\Conquests\ folder has KCKultimate folder plus the 2 biq's & the Conquests\Scenario folder has the 9 biqs, it should work then.

Soon when I get time, (Still loading windows stuff)
I'll look at the biq's. (May take several weeks to a month)
The link is http://www.box.net/shared/49ig05nhxu its still good !!

Civilization 3 Game Data/Art
Conquests Game Data/Art
Play the World Game Data/Art
If the above works I'll make a Mac veriosn with these folder paths instead.
And another for the windows (& possibly Mac) upgrade versions from CIV3 & PTW!

Thanx for your help, its much appreciated !!

At the moment I have KCKultimateCiv3 installed in Documents. I will give your advice a try and report back on the results. I do have this observation though, it is a slim mod.

Update: It now crashes the game without an error message.

 

[KillCarneyKlansmen]

..\..\civ3ptw\extras\Medieval Japan\
..\..\civ3ptw\extras\World War II\
..\..\civ3ptw\extras\Prehistoric\

Are these file paths the same?
KCKultimateCIV3 is a slim mod?
It now crashes the game without an error message. - This is probably a good thing we're on the right track!

Not exactly. On the Mac the paths are...

Play the World Game Data/Extras/Medieval Japan
Play the World Game Data/Extras/World War II
Play the World Game Data/Extras/Prehistoric

KCKultimateCIV3 is a slim mod?

compared to some I've seen.

It now crashes the game without an error message. - This is probably a good thing we're on the right track!

Why does this remind me of the best way to remove an arrow?

 

[KillCarneyKlansmen]

Ok, expect a test run the beginning of next month! I'll redo it, and hopefully we can get the CIV3/PTW version going. Thanks, for the Info! Both Paths are wrong, This ought to fix it!
Yea, I didn't make any new files, I just hooked up everything in CIV3 into 1 mod.

 

[mythusmage]

I hope it goes well, and thanks for taking the time.

I Need Complete Install Folder Paths ->

..\..\Play the World Game Data\Extras\Medieval Japan\
;..\..\Play the World Game Data\Extras\World War II\
;..\..\Play the World Game Data\Extras\Prehistoric\
;KCKultimateCIV3 (defaulted installed below)

(DRIVE):\Civilization III Complete\Play the World Game Data\Extras\

Do not install in Documents, install into These folders -> ? ?

(DRIVE):\Civilization III Complete\Conquests Game Data\Conquests\
(DRIVE):\Civilization III Complete\Conquests Game Data\Scenarios\

(DRIVE):\Civilization III Complete\Conquests Game Data\Conquests\

For the Mac they would be...

.../Play the World Game data/Extras/Medieval Japan
.../.../Extras/World War II
.../.../Extras/Prehistoric

Applications/Civilization III Complete/Conquests Game Data/Conquests/
Applications/Civilization III Complete/Conquests Game Data/Scenarios/

Now I'm going to try something, I'll report back with the results

Update: And the result is, moving the scenarios themselves to Conquests Game Data/Conquests didn't work. the Ancient Scenario got as far as actually loading the game to be played when, all of a sudden, the app crashed.

You changed something between the core BIQs and the scenarios, but I have no way of finding out what.

 

[KillCarneyKlansmen]

Yes, It started different, but anims dont load yet! (need paths) Since no Burial Rites ERROR. (picts in right place). I started with a map changes BIQ, and reworked it! Good Work! I'll fix paths, and tweak program a bit, get back to you in a couple of weeks.
