I used it to create a lot of new improvements including the wonder Olympics, which doubles the effect of colliseums, the improvement particle accelerator which continues the library-university-research lab link. I have yet to try it in a game.

Plutarck, do you know why it crashes if you change a civ color?

I know and test this with success about civ colors changing:

- Only use the 17 first colors rows (Black and above in the editor).
- For a given civ, put the same first and secondary colors.
- Make sure the civs all have a different color (basically, 16 civs + the barbarians = 17 colors).

It seems too that if you add a civ, the color row just after Black become available, if you add two civ, the two color rows after Black become available, and so on... But I haven't tested it yet.

there are missing palettes in the civ3\art\units\palettes\ directory. see this thread http://apolyton.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=43563 for a fix.

LordRasp,

I experienced the same thing... I wonder, is anyone knows a workaround?

 

[Heffalump]

Anyone know if it's possible to have civ-specific improvements?

For example if I have an Ottoman civ and want them to build mosques instead of cathedrals (and i still want all the others to keep building cathedrals)

What is copytool?

 

[Isak]

I think the copy tool would be Gramphos' Multitool - you can find it here:

I want to know if someone have listened to something about adding an era. Is it possible?

How to add a fourth tech tree part?

With the 1.21 civeditor we lose the ability to add an era. So i want to know before loosing my old tools of civeditor 1.16 (where i can add an era and convert it later into 1.21 bic file but revert is not possible).

How do i convert the purple backround in the resource.pcx file to the pink in the resources.pcx???

 

[Kal-el]

just change your active color to 255/0/255 = civ pink and then fill in the purple.

 

[Civanator]

How do I do that? and what program should i use?

 

[Kal-el]

what program have you been using?

I use Photoshop. with that program the easiest way would be to use eyedropper tool and grab a bit of the pink from the background of an original resource and then fill the background of your new resource.

another option would be to open up the palette and manually change the purple color to the pink. I think this is how you would have to do it if you are using PSP. But I am not sure. I don't really use PSP for very much so I am not that familiar with it.

 

[Civanator]

i was using PSP7 and couldn't figure it out. do you know where i can find a trial of photoshop? if ther is one.

 

[Kal-el]

I don't think there is one.

Its pretty easy to change the palette though. Just go to the menu bar color edit palette find the purple/blue color in the palette and switch it to civ pink 255/0/255

 

[Civanator]

there isn't a selection for 255/0/255

 

[Kal-el]

255 red 0 green 255 blue
