Scenario Search Folders
Hi all,
I'm having trouble switching over to alternative terrain art (like Warpstorm's watercolor set). I replaced my original civ3X file with a mod version with different rules (the AU mod). This works as expected: the game cannot tell the difference in rules when I use New Game or whatever. I assumed I could also pull this trick for the terrain art, without having to replace all the original art files. If I understand the feature correctly, I should be able to type "Warpstorm Watercolor Terrain" as a folder name in the Scenario Search Folders box in the Scenario Properties of my custom civ3X file, and get the new graphics when I start a new game. But this does not work.
I know of two alternatives: 1) backup and replace the standard art files, and 2) always use "Load Scenario" when starting a game with new terrain art. My questions is: do I have to resort to one of these two, or am I just doing something wrong with my first method?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Dominae

I haven't tried this (I don't mess with the civ3x file), but you might try putting
Scenarios\Warpstorm Watercolor Terrain
in the field.
Let me know if it works.

It doesn't???  Are your high scores saved to the hall of fame screen? Whenever I replaced the civ3x file the game new I was using modified rules so I stopped messing with it and just used the scenario stuff.

You have to use a scenario if you want the game to load anything but rules from the default bix file.
