Interesting, Monticone. I put some questions for you in the thread you linked to..

 

[Civinator]

for any question, I'm here...

monticone, this is the first time I see a bat-file introduced to Civ 3. I reflected about such a solution for changing the normal summer terrain to winter terrain for the scenario SOE.

Unfortunately, when looking to the Civ 2 forums (where bat-files are used frequently), it seems they don´t work with 64-bit systems. Do you have a solution for 64-bit systems?

 

[monticone]

mumble mumble...

I dont know 64 bit SO.
you say " Choice " : does it works?

and " Start " ?

I haven't 64 bit SO sorry, cannot try

tomorrow I'll serching better answer...

monticone, thank you for your quick answer. You saw "Choice" before I deleted it in my post above as I also don´t know if it works in combination with Civ 3. May be I have to ask Catfish in the Civ2 forums about bat-files and 64-bit systems.

What do you think about changing terrain files with bat-files in 32-bit systems?

@ Civinator:

I answered before the question...

"CHOICE" is not very usefull here, because stopping the execution. I use a command "REPLACE" to have a immediate action.

The terrain files are not many like cities pics ( walled and not ), but you can make a simple
automatism, like this...

Spoiler :

replace "d:\STORE_ FOLDER_ YOU_WANT\LWCSO.pcx" "d:\civilization III\conquests\scenarios\FOLDER_GAME_OR_MOD\art\terrain"
replace "d:\STORE_ FOLDER_ YOU_WANT\LWOOO.pcx" "d:\civilization III\conquests\scenarios\FOLDER_GAME_OR_MOD\art\terrain"
replace "d:\STORE_ FOLDER_ YOU_WANT\LWSSS.pcx" "d:\civilization III\conquests\scenarios\FOLDER_GAME_OR_MOD\art\terrain"
replace "d:\STORE_ FOLDER_ YOU_WANT\LXDGC.pcx" "d:\civilization III\conquests\scenarios\FOLDER_GAME_OR_MOD\art\terrain"

etc etc...

remember two things:

* the command REPLACE DOES NOT prompt any confirmation request, then be sure to work with backupped files !

* you have to launch a .bat file BEFORE open game
( maybe , when you change view to science research or trade advisor, but is idea that need some test... depending how works a double buffer in game, I do not know !)

maybe I can try, tomorrow...
