huh , Gramphos , what about a real good , simple manual on the placement tool ?
in pdf , hmmm , ......

[Gramphos]

I forgot that the tool changes the pcx files as well... (buildings_small and buildings_large) when copying buildings.

[Gramphos]

Yes, Sid is in Sweden, but it would be almost impossible for me to get to Stockholm in the mid of the week. If I hadn't been away, I maybe could have planned something, but as it stads now I'll probably just stay home. (Traintickets are expencive, and I can't get to Stockholm before 5 PM unless I skip School, and I'm not the one who skip school. If I haden't been away, I maybe could thrown away about 900 SEK for tickets and a signed game (Dark edition, or whatever it was), but as I already have the game, and my time is limited I think I just shall stay home.)

[Gramphos]

I'll see if I can get that pic for you. It shouldn't be too hard, all I need is ten minutes, at max, but I use my time for other things right now, and have to catch up on missing things.

On the Sid thing... is he travelling alone, or does he have anyone with him?

Small problem...

Great work you did!
Have only one problem:
How to delete things I added?
I added 3 insteed of 2 techs to my bic... how can I remove the one?

And do you think there could be an easier way to fill in all the Civilopedia, unitsdescription things?

[Gramphos]

To remove one thing you can use the normal editor, as for now at least. (I might add delete to C3MT later...)

In civ3edit: Select the tech you want to delete, and press Alt+d.

What easier way?

He's with a harem of cybersluts.

Try to stay to C3MT discussion in this thread. You can discuss Sid in General (if Civ3 related).

Excellent. I got your attention (the cyberslut thing was a joke). I posted a question earlier in the thread. All I really want to do is copy units and perhaps be able to edit scenarios. Which files do I need to download?

Order of importance in what I would like to do:
1. copy/create units - most important
2. edit scenarios
3. copy/create new civs

ps not to kiss your butt, but impressive job. keep up the good work

[Gramphos]

Can you tell more exactly what you want to do. Is it a question of editing BICs, or SAVs?

First of all, I'm an idiot, (just look at my avatar) so bear w/ me. I have a mod I play with, but would love to add new units. so I guess the most important thing is the .bics. Does your editor allow placement of civs, improvements, etc.? If so also interested. I think I'll leave off the extra civs thing til later. Just point me in the right direction for the units for now. I know you're busy, and korn offered to help, so I'll bug him for the details. Thanks.

[Gramphos]

For the units all you have to do is to load the BIC in the copy tool, select a unit to base the new unit on, mark Rename unit, enter the nmae of the new unit, enter 1 as the number to ad, and then click copy. Then you have to edit it with civ3edit.
