Hello, first: Thak you very much for all this work, this is really great. But i have a little problem with the SMAC Menus (sorry if tis was already aswered, but i was not able to find a solution for my here): I have put the .mnc-files in the menu directory right under the CC3 folder and copied the lines out of the .mnu-master files into the relating CC3 files in the CC3 main directory. The menus are showing up in the City Designer or Dungeon Designer Add-ons. Also the sub-menues are showing up, bute the catalog row on the left is only showing blank spaces. I have checked all the directory positions and think they are all right. What am i doing wrong? If you need more informations, please let me know, thank you!
If it loads a blank catalog, it means that it cannot find the symbol catalog file (*.FSC file) from SMAC. You need to make sure your SMAC files are located in the correct directory. Extracting them to another directory before moving them is not a problem, but you must make sure you haven't accidentally added an extra folder level.
For example, the "Carpets.FSC" file (the carpets catalog, should be found at: \CC3\Symbols\SMAC\Carpets.FSC If you are missing a directory, have an extra directory, or simply a mis-spelling, it won't work
Note that it is critical for the symbols themselves to be correctly placed, or the catalogs won't work, so the path is not just a problem for the menus.
The city symbols files should be located under \CC3\Symbols\SMAC Cities\*.FSC
This was it: Thank you very, very much! There was a misunderstanding for the position of the .fsc's from me, i tought that i just have to put the extracted folder under SYMBOLS. I did not realized that i had to put in just the content of this folder!
So, Question. I tried to add another line under this line.
#708,PERIHOUSE:[Structures]{|CMENU #menu\csuac_structures.mnc;}|CMENU #menu\csuac_structures.mnc;
But the program would not start, but i found an alternative, and i was able to add the line under the FCW32.MNU file.
I was just interested in the reason why, since I like to learn more about things like this. Thanks for your time.
this is the line i was adding so I could have a section for all my img files :P
#710,CC2ST:[User]{|CMENU #menu\csuac_user.mnc;}|CMENU #menu\csuac_user.mnc;
Can't see any reason your line would fail. When you inserted it, did you make sure not to leave a blank line above or below it? Blank lines are the most common cause of problems in these files.

It is already there though.

Now it works, great!
