PBEM THE GREAT WAR - Div Level

[LouLong]

@ aksully : I don't really have one albeit I think I have a bit of experience in modding. So I will give it a try.

1/ put the unit folder into the Scenarios/ScenarioName/Art/Units and check the folder name and the name of the INI file inside match.

2/ copy(or cut) the pcx icons (large and small) of the unit into Scenarios/ScenarioName/Art/Civilopedia/Units

3/ Copy the unit32.pcx (from the unit folder) onto the units32.pcx in the Scenarios/ScenarioName/Art/Units folder

4/ Open Scenarios/ScenarioName/Text/PediaIcons and search for "#start units". There copy the first three lines (settler) and add them at the bottom of the list. Then change Settler, 00settlerlarge, 00settlersmall by the name of the unit and the names of the files you moved during the step number 2. Keep .pcx at the end.

5/ Same file, go to the bottom (it is called "# Unit animations") and copy the first two lines
(#ANIMNAME_PRTO_Settler
Settler)
and paste them at the end of the list. Replace the first settler by the name you have already chosen at step 4 and replace the bottom one by the name of the unit folder ! Close and save (back-up is a good idea !)

6/ Open the Scenarios/ScenarioName/Text/Civilopedia text file and search for the units part (search "#PRTO_Settler" and you should find it).
My advice, find the Scout paragraph, copy it, paste it after then modify the description texts and especially change the PRTO_Scout into PRTO_ whatever name you already chose in the other file. Keep that somewhere as you will need to use it once more. BTW be careful there are two PRTO_ lines to modify.
Save (back up !)

7/ Open the editor (or the scenario if it already exists), choose Rules / Edit / Units and press "Add". Then select whatever stats you want for the unit (and air, sea, land, etc... check everything). Brwose the icons (left) so that you find the icon you already copied in the Units32.pcx (better if you know where !). Then in civilopedia entry type the "PRTO_nameyouchose". Then you can give your unit a name (that can be different from the PRTO_nameyouchose).
To be buildable at least one civ must be checked in the "available to" box.

Hope that helps and that it is not to fast.

Andis, You and your lovely troops are more than welcomed to be SLAUGHTERED by welcoming French Forces !!

 

[aksully]

Loulong, Thanks so much for the time and effort to reply. Will test it out and let you know how it goes.

It is greatly appreciated!

GPS turn 27, wk 5 1915 > andis-1

Bombed troops NW of Athens.

Game sent.

Austrian forces penetrate deeper into the italian heartlands, this time meeting some resistance. That resistance is, however, crushed quickly. The 2 MG's, infantry and artillery defending the grasslands north of naples were destroyed with the loss of 2 flamers, and the city itself has been put under siege.

In norhern italy, the british infantry west of venice is destroyed.

Also, the Italian mountain forces north of Milan were took by suprise in swift attack, and destroyed in detail. Italian losses were 4 infantry and 2 MG units. Austrian forces lost only 2 flamers.

I played this as a pbem with Loulong and others so I've been lurking here for the past few months after not visiting the site in quite sometime. Anyways, the game looks very interesting as the Central Powers appear to be winning at the moment! If any of you could post a screenie or two it would be great for anyone else who is lurking! Perhaps screenies with troop counts and productions painted out...?

Wow, we are being watched! Probably by the staff in Pentagon. We have better continue our glorious play and I´ll try to attach some screenies next time.

And....where is Luthor?

After my PC crashed I reinstalled Civ4 and found my C3C CD but cannot locate my Civ3 CD that I need to reinstalle C3C... so I might be responsible for some delay

 

[andis-1]

Any progress on the matter Lou?

 

[Drendor]

You could always let der Kaiser command the turkish troops until Mustafa Kemal and Enver are fit for fight again.

der Kaiser would love to get a chance to conquer the middle east and gain world domination!

Muahahaha!

 

[aksully]

Loulong..what in the world are we going to do with you??
The French never believe in protection!!! We teach..we lecture..we explain...but oh no..and you say Non to protection..and thus....their computers go Kaput!

This is an obvious Allied ploy to take over this game and run amok!! First we take out LouLong and next........??????

Well let's just say...Zepps are about to start falling from the skies! Happy Landings!

 

[Luthor_Saxburg]

Loulong,

Maybe Drendor can make your moves? I know he's an awfull player p ) but maybe that way I can get Nikosia back!

 

[LouLong]

I am really sorry folks.
I hope I have proved to be fairly reliable as a PBEM player but I had a PC crash and just cannot find the Civ3 disk to reinstall albeit I have Conquests ready...

I hope one ally can take over my turn until 1/ I find the Civ3 disk (better solution) 2/ you replace me permanently.

 

[aksully]

Is it possible for one of our Euro players mail him their disk to load and then send back??

If not then I certainly have no problem sending LouLong my disk. Then in the short term one of his Allies can play his turns until he is up and running.

So if no one else can do this then let me know ASAP so I can get it in the mail to him.

[Luthor_Saxburg]

Loulong, you are a pillar of this community and we all know you are very reliable (except when Nikosia is involved...) and we'd like to count in.

But maybe for one or two turns Drendor can take over just until you fix the problem?

 

[LouLong]

Sounds fine.

I will try to locate it/find an alternative in the meanwhile after this coming week since it is gonna be ectic for me IRL...

@ Luthor : cie to see you focus on Nikosia.... and forget about the rest ?? ^^
@ Aksully : thanks for the kind offer but I will find another way. Turns out bad it happens when my IRL is so busy...
