Help! New Scenarios won't load

rcantin · November 21, 2002, 09:48

Hi. I hope someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

I spent the better part of last evening trying to load fan-created .bic scenarios (okay, scenarii). I put them in the Scenarios folder, get one from the Load Scenario menu. It seems to load fine at first, but when I get the first menu (the one where you choose the tribe and difficulty level), I only get the last leader as a choice. I select it and start the scenario, but when it gets to Configuring Scenario, it just gets stuck around 68%.

Waiting 15 min for it to finish loading hasn't worked.
Re-installing the 1.29 patch hasn't helped.
Re-installing Play the World is no good.
Building a chapel to Sid Meyer and sacrifying a goat has gone no good (goat meat anyone?).

No other files came with the .bic, so I can't see what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks for any input.

Have you changed anything yourself?(on the mod?)

Can you load other mods/scenario's?

No, I haven't changed anything myself. I just wanted to play it.

The problem seems to be with all 5 fan-built scenarios I took online. The scenarios that came with the PTW CD are working fine.

This probably won't matter but open up the civ3 editor for ptw and load the scenario and save it as a (bix) file. This might help...just a thought... I don't really think it should do anything but tell me what happens.

later

I have the same problem. Mine however stops loading at the "a" in "configuring scenario". This has only started after I updated to 1.14f Cyklonix, good thinking but that doesn't work.
