The Pathet Lao

left-oriented nationalist group in Laos that took control of the country in 1975. Founded in 1950, the Pathet Lao (Lao Country) movement joined with the Viet Minh, the Communist-oriented Vietnamese nationalist organization, in armed resistance to French rule in Indochina. In 1956 a legal political wing, the Lao Patriotic Front (Neo Lao Hak Xat), was founded and participated in several coalition governments. In the 1960s and early '70s the Pathet Lao fought a civil war against the U.S.-backed Vientiane regime, winning effective control in the north and east. In the spring of 1975 Pathet Lao forces consolidated their power throughout the country. The Vientiane government fell in May 1975, and Pathet Lao leaders formed a new government.

The Early leader of the Pathet Lao seems to be:
SOUPHANOUVONG

(1902?-95), Laotian prince and nationalist leader who became the first president of the Laotian republic. Born into the royal family, he was educated as an engineer in France. Returning home in the late 1930s, he became active in the nationalist movement and after World War II fought against the French; he was one of the founders of the Pathet Lao, the Communist nationalist movement, in 1950. A minister (1957-58) in the cabinet headed by his half brother, Souvanna Phouma, he was arrested after the fall of the government but escaped and thereafter led the Pathet Lao in guerrilla warfare. He briefly rejoined his brother in a coalition government in 1962 but then continued his armed struggle for another decade. A cease-fire in 1973 paved the way for a new coalition in which the Pathet Lao was the dominating partner. When the monarchy was abolished in 1975, Souphanouvong became president. Citing health reasons, he resigned the presidency in October 1986.

How do you create those screenshots of Civ3Edit maps?

How do you create those screenshots of Civ3Edit maps?

Hit the "Print Screen" key, open the graphics editor of your choice, and paste the image onto a blank canvas.

My screen area is 1024x768 pixels. I'm going into my CivIIIConquestsEdit of my FF7 map, I'm pressing PrintScreen right after I open it and the CivIIIConquestsEdit logo appears, and when I put in Paint, it shows my computer screen as if I'm looking at it with the program open (taskbar, start button, civedit menus). Help?

Ah. You might have to use a utility like Snagit (Google it for the page) which IIRC has a free trial period. They claim to capture full content (i.e., what's shown beyond the screen) but I've no idea how well this would work for a relatively large image like a Civ map.

Print screen should only show what is currently on your screen. Go into the program that you want the pic of. when you get the image you want to copy hit print screen. Open Paint - Hit Ctrl-V which should show what you caputred. Save it as a jpeg. Open it back up and then resize it down to 800 Pixles wide. This will be displayed on the Fourn better at that size. Also do not resize it when it is a .bmp as you will loose more detail than if you convert it to a .jpg first. I hope this helps.

 

[magus77]

Can somebody just do a screenshot of my map and post it at my thread (its in my signature)? I downloaded Snagit, but that was no help, and I have no idea how to do this.

I've got a quick question. Most of the time, when I make my own map, and I put a city right on a resource or I connect it by a road, the road can't be connected in the game, and if the city sits on the resource, it acts as if it isn't there (the resource is there when I see the terrain info, but I can't do anything with it.)

Put a road on the city square, either before or after its placed, in the Editor. I don't think it does it automatically, as it does in-game. You will also be unable to 'connect' to resources if you do not allow roads to be constructed either on the terrain that a city is built on or if you don't allow roads to be built before a prereq tech.

 

[magus77]

Yeah, I just realized I deleted settlers (no resources on cities) and worker job of road put on place-holder (roads are useless). Thanks anyway.

Hi, I own a french version of civ3 conquests and I would like to use those wonderfull scenarii around. Problem is that they reference english-named units and artworks, thus giving me nice crashes due to "unit not found" or the like.

So, do you know of a workaround, or a place where I can download all english-named units? Pretty please ...

I want to change the leaders names forever, but I cant find the place with all the names to change. And I'd like to change the leader images forever, too. Anyone?

 

[magus77]

Go to civedit. Check custom rules under properties in the menu. Edit rules menu. Civilizations. There you can change the name of the civ. To change the picture, you need to remember what picture you gave to what civilization. In the bottom-left corner you'll see something like animation flics or something like that. Change the picture by writing a different file name under each category (ancient, medival, etc.). Then go to the pedialicons.txt file and change the name of the file to the same file you changed it in edit and do it under civilizations. DO NOT change the civ names in pedialicons.txt unless you want to go into something very complicated where you have to do the same in civilopedia.txt.

By the way, I want to change the music for my map (its in my sig) using custom music. I've figured it all out, but I don't know if it will work in midi format since all other sounds are in wave. Anybody know a good midi to wave converter? Every time I find a new one, it doesn't let me convert it or only lets me convert the first 50% of the song.
