problem editing game files

[boneys26]

Hi just want people that have edited game files to tell me if there game ctd after doing this i'm a great fan of editing civilization 3 and when i heard you cn do even more in civ IV well that was it went and got the game.. after looking though the game files (to get used to them) i thought i should change the range on the stealth bomber from 15 i think it was to 50 ( lets me fly most of the way round a huge map) I then saved the edited file in place of the other one (if your going to try this make a back up of the original file) then closed all windows and started the game i went into world builder and gave myself 1 stealth bomber to try out and went back to the game to test. I done the first flight fine it worked (recon) end turn! second flight fine (recon) and the third flight...... CDT!!! I thought this editon of civ was going to be the best one for mods and editors? will this happen everytime i change a game file? civ 3 was the best and in my eyes still is the best game for editing as you can change rules units everything and will still play i have the 1.09 patch any ideas?

The only issue I had with editing game files was that if you add units or other such tasks that you MUST start a new game, trying to load others will crash... I've tried many things xml editing wise but didn't do what you did. Isn't that a bit too much distance? There is a bug that I heard about that if one model has not completed an animation and another fires its animation some people get CTDs, Luckily I don't but since it is such a long flight maybe that caused it? There is also some weird pathing issue on wrap around maaps that happen at the wrap around point...
