  • Associating graphics with buildings

    How does the game know what graphics are associated with a building or wonder? It's not listed in the bic format described here, and it doesn't seem to just be a naming thing. If I wanted to create a new wonder with new graphics, how could I associated the two?

      Yes, I know where they're stored. I don't know how they're associated with the entry in a bic file. For instance:

      Copernicus' Observatory
      The wonder splash is named 'solar system explained'
      The large and small civilopedia icons are called 'solarsystemlarge' and 'solarsystemsmall'.
      The city view graphics are the 'WON-solarsys' series.
      The id tag is BLDG_Solar_System in civilopedia.txt

      There isn't a consistant name, it's variations on solar system. So how does the game know that they are all associated with Copernicus' Observatory?
