Editor crashes game!!

[latenight]

I'd appreciate a little help from anyone who uses the editor--it is probably a lack of understanding on my part, but when i used the editor to change a couple of minor details on a couple of units, my game crashed when I tried to load a saved game. Does the editor only work if you start a new game? I was hoping that it would be compatible with saved games.

I'm also confused about how the editor works--do I need to create a new .bic file or do I simply change the existing .bic file. In addition, if I do create a new .bic, how and/or where do i reference this file so a new game makes use of the changes. Obviously, I have a lot tolearn. Thanks for any help...

I'm having editor problems too, although a bit different...

I decided that the French should be a colour other that pink (I mean really), but when I select a colour other than those that have already been used, the game crashes when I try and use the civ. I've tried a couple, with & without standard defaults (it will crash if the civ has to use the unique colour). I used a blue shade (20th on the palette) & thought it might be clashing with colours other civs were using, so I tried others that were more distinct, but to no avail. Anyone know how to fix this?


-also- I haven't seen anything about this in the patch readme, or elsewhere. I think it might cause a few problems for the extra civs pack though.
