I am giving this a try. Does this Hex editor have a 15-day trial? I wonder what I will do if after 15 days I wish to edit more maps.
Notepad ++ is an excellent program and is also very good as an xml editor.
I tried to create LM coasts terrain. This new terrain is clearly identified as LM terrain in the editor. However, LM coast part in the editor, is still not active. So I can't modify the characteristics of this new terrain. I guess that's because I did not create a pcx specific to this terrain?
I do not know what form should have this file, and which civ3 files must be changed. I hope you can give me some guidance ...
Thanks a lot
AFAIK which LM terrain is available is hard-coded. Roads/RR & rivers are overlays anyway - not terrain.That's because the landmark coasts are already included in other files. You'll find them in lxdgc, lxpdc, lxggc, lxpgc and lxtgc in the Art/terrain file. If you mean coastal waters, look in lwCSO.
To anyone: is it possible to get LMRoads/Railroads? LMrivers? or LMVolcanoes? I'd give anything for that. If so, I've got a biq I'd like someone to hack for me.
Thank you Balthazar, i'm going to try thisIf you mean coastal waters, look in lwCSO.
If you're successful, please post the results.Thank you Balthazar, i'm going to try this
And yes, i think it's possible to have LMVolcanoes.

Thanks, Civinator. In spite of having it bookmarked I had forgotten that the zip included the BIQ. I should have reread the whole thread before being erroneously pessimistic.If you need a biq with a LM-coastal terrain and all other missing LM-terrains, embryodead gave such a biq to the Civ-community. This biq of course also contains LM-volcanoes.

New LM Terrain and the editor
While you can change the new terrains' stats easily, the C3C editor will not properly place these tiles on the map. Also, it will get confused with the old LM tiles, so that they get shifted. Fear not, it's just an inconvenience, e.g. to place the usual LM Forest, I have to select LM Hills... etc.
Sorry to bump but I have a couple of questions:
1. Is it possible to have Tundra Jungles in the same way as you can have Plains Jungles? Because this would be mighty useful for me to represent Taiga!
2. Does the above statement mean that the graphical representation in the editor is the correct one, and not the named one? Stupid question, but I don't want to go around making mistakes!![]()
