Problem with editor

[Nilat]

Well I have civ2 MGE (updated from classic to MGE)
And academia told me there should be a "editor" between Cheats and Civilopedia.I dont have it. Can someone explain and maybe help me in this?

Thanks

A lot of people have that "problem" i think.

If you upgrade from the civfanatics patch you don't get the editor.
Simply because the patch doesn't include the editor.

So, what to do?

is the editor not there, or just the gif files and menu entries?

because i think the editor is embedded in civ2.exe...


and never mind, the only real use for the editor is the events file.. work on the gifs and txts instead.. it's waaay easier.

[Nilat]

I just dont have the editor.. I never knew there should be one

[N35t0r]

backup your menu.txt (reame it) and unpack this zip into your main civ folder...

[Nilat]

I have winzip, (im too lazy to get anything better) Can you put that as a winzip file?

[N35t0r]

ehhh.....

leme see, my WinZip went ballistic sometime in the past year...

ah, good... WinRar can create zips

thanks, but its in spanish and there is nothing between Trampa and civilopedia

[N35t0r]

yup, it's one of the things i haven't translated back to enlish yet (you should see it.. half og game.txt in english and half in spanish...)

and then i guess it must be in the exe itself, altough i really don't know...

any other ideas here?

[jasev]

OK, try this "menu.txt". If it doesn't work, we'll have to send the "civ2.exe" too.
(don't worry, this one is in english )

[Nilat]

Its great that people want to help less fortunate

[Nilat]

But I have to tell you that, there is no editor...

Wierd

[N35t0r]

we have time and we are bored

and it's our duty! Holy Civ2 commands it!

[N35t0r]

hmm... as jasev said, the problem must be in the civ2 exe....

i've zipped it to max, but it's still over 500K, so iy's in my upload...

backup (rename) your civ2.exe before unzipping, just in case...
