Unit editing

[Jer]

Hi, I have a long history of scenario making in Civ II but I cannot seem to edit units in test of time. I can create new pictures and place them in the Units.gif and Units.bmp files (in either the extended or original games) to my hearts content but It has no affect on the actual game. can it be done or am i working on the wrong file? Is their something I should be doing that I'm not? help!

First, download and install patch 1.1 for ToT
Second, any scenarios (.scn files) you made prior to installing the must be recreated in order to work.
Last, after re-creating the scenario goto the cheat menu > scenario parameters > edit special rules and turn on the following three switches: terrain animation lockout; unit animation lockout; .spr file override.

OK?

Thanks, that did it!
is it possible to have those toggled regardless of whether it is a sscenario?

You can toggle them in a regular game but you have to go into the cheat menu to do it and that changes your game score.
