Mods and Graphic Packs

[Scoottr]

I downloaded the Rhyes and the Rise and Fall mods. But, only the new scenario that it created in the Conquests/CivContent come up with the new graphics.

Do these mods effect all new games or just the one scenario? I would hope that it changes all so that I can have random maps with the new changes found in the Mod and not just have to play the map that came with it!

Maybe I missed a step? I followed the directions given and put all the files into the Scenarios folder withing the Conquests folder.

Any help?

It changes only for a game using that 'scenario' in Civ-Content. If you copy the Terrain files from the scenario's Art/Terrain folder and paste them into the Civ3/Conquests/Art/Terrrain folder, Rhye's graphics will appear for all games. For the mod, that involves changing the game's rules, so I would keep it as a scenario playable via Civ-Content.

Ok, got that.

Thanks! but....

I downloaded Snoopy's graphics pak, put it in the scenarios folder and it did't work. So then i put it into the arts/terrain foler (which i assumed they meant the one in the overall civ3 folder and not the one in the Conquests folder since it didn't specify) and still no good. So, i put it in the conquests scenario folder and still no change in appearance. Is there a specific scenario now that Snoopys only works for or should it have changed the appearance of all random created games and all scenarios?

Also have down loaded the patch for if you are not using PTW. Am I missing something? No new scenarios showed up with the graphics patch. I now have a folder for Snoopys in my conquests folder.

Any input?

Yes, you're missing something .
Rhye's comes with a map (technically, it's a 'Scenario' because of that; but since it plays more like a modded World Map game, people usually refer to RoC as 'Mod').
RaR without, thus you get random maps anyway.
Snoopy's is a terrain set. You need to replace the files in the \terrain folder (make a back-up before!).

Doc T is correct, you need to place the files in the Snoopy's terrain folder into your Civilization III\Art\Terrain folder (backup, as Doc T said, incase you don't like it, or you want to switch back).

Nitpicking what Doc said about Rhye's ... Rhye's *does* come with a random map too, but the World Map is still the main feature of it.
