Hi all,
I am asking for help since I am new to editing civ 3.
This is what happaned:
1) I edited a BIC file in the editor, basically renaming a civ and giving it different attributes.
2) I then changed the name of that civs UU, making it a cavalry unit.
3) All I wanted was a mounted unit that starts a golden age, but I accidentally goofed up and gave this unit a bombardment ability and strength (without selecting the "immobile" unit attribute).
4) I then saved the BIC file, and started playing. It took me a while for my civ to get to this UU. When I got it and tried to build my first UU, the game crashed. I realised my mistake listed in 3) since the unit properties at the build unit window in a city showed this unit as having the values 7(4), 4, 3 - and I knew the number in the "( )" means bombardment strength. The game crashes everything I try to build this unit.
Anyways, it was a fun game and I was wondering if I can salvage it. I realized my mistake, solved the problem, and saved the file in the editor as a BIC, but I guess to take advantage of the fix I have to start the scenario over again. Is there anyway I can edit the "sav" file and change the attributes of my UU so that the game won't crash? Also, I was thinking of saving my "sav" file as a "bic" (creating a scenario from my saved game), and going to the editor to change what I goofed up on. ...but how can I do this?
Looking forward to the replys,
Winged Hussar
