Problems with enhancements

[ddd]

I have Civ 2 classic and I have downloaded some enhancements - new units, city enhancements, terrain graphics etc - and I can't get them to work. For example if I overwrite the CITIES.GIF with a new CITIES.GIF it is not working properly. Is there some thing I am missing?

I am transferring this thread to the Scenario Creation forum... Customization quetsions get more replies there.

I don't know what's wrong if you get it from the download section here. Are you sure they are .gif? Are you sure you don't 'convert' them into gif-format? If you do, be sure to convert it in PSP. Not in MS Paint.

Also: If they are meant for Fantastric Worlds, Test of Time or Multiplayer Gold Edtion, you can't use them. You can copy and paste them into your original file (make a backup first!) and save it (not in MS Paint!)

If you copied the new files to the civ2 main directory then civ2 should use them. After all you have over-written the old version there so the program can't be using a file which no longer exists. The only thing I can think of is that you might have a cities.bmp file in the civ2 directory, as Bitmaps take precedence over Gifs. But then again I thought only FW+ used bmp files.

One other possibility. Maybe the cities.gif you downloaded is a city collection and not arranged in the format that Civ expects. Check visually to see if the position of everything conforms to the structure of the original file.
