Installation:
- Rename the current RARR-folder to RARR-old (or something like this) and delete it when the new mainfile in your new RARR-folder is working properly
- Unzip the RARR-Mainfile into your C3C scenarios folder
- Unzip the new patch into the RARR-folder (changes the text files for the pediaicons and civilopedia file)
- Unzip the RARR-biq into your C3C scenarios folder
Easy change of the terrain graphics inside this mod:
In its art-folder RARR holds three different beautiful sets of Civ 3-terrain:
- Vuldacon Terrain
Achtung Spoiler:
- Ares Terrain
Achtung Spoiler:
- RickFGS Terrain
Achtung Spoiler:
The player can switch easily between the different sets of terrain in two steps:
1. Rename the folder terrain in the arts folder of RARR to TerrainVuldacon, TerrainAres or TerrainRickFGS (the one of the three terrains, that is missing its suffix at the end of the word Terrain)
2. Rename the new terrain folder by deleting the suffix Vuldacon, Ares or RickFSG to Terrain.
All three terrain sets are excellent, so I included all three sets into RARR. Games can be continued after switching the set of terrain.
Steam Civ Complete-Patch:
The last update of the Steam version of Civ Complete by Steam/Firaxis added a new line between "PING" and "Host" (line 86) to the labels text that just says "Unknown". Of course this messed up the labeling of buttons for C3C mods/scenarios with own labels texts (as it is the case with RARR). If you have problems with messed up labeling of buttons at the start of RARR and use the Steam version of Civ Complete you can try the following patch:
1. Go to the text folder inside the RARR mod.
2. Rename the textfile labels to labels1 (or something like that).
3. Rename the textfile labels-Steam CivComplete Patch to labels.
