Here is the graphics I made for the Tobacco resource.

The cigar itself is made by me, where I cheated on making the smoke (yeah, used the smoke of the incense as you would notice).

Here are the pictures needed for the image to appear in the game:

Sorry if the download time takes a while.

You would probably know how to edit the resource files, well, I am assuming that you might know.

Comments are welcome, but not too harsh please (first try here!)

Not a big fan of smoking, especially cigars, but it is nice anyway. Don't think I will download the image until it is possible to have more resources, and have them visable on the map.

Keep up the good work.

:goodjob:

I added two other resources, one is a luxury (coffee) and the other is just a bonus (oasis). And I only have like four new resources, but I can't get them to work.

Does anybody know why?

I mean, I have something called "crystals", this "tobacco", then the two I mentioned above. But I couldn't get them to work.

Is there the same problem with the resources.pcx as the unit_32 thingie, where you have to shift 8 units down the row or something?

duh!! I totally forgot why I replied to this thread.. Thanks, sealman :)

You can't add more than two new resources to the game. If you try, the icons will not be visible on the map, and the game will probably crash when you connect the "invisible" resources to your trade network.

I would prefer to use the plant instead of a cigar. Does anyone have something like that?

I could make a plant version, thats not a big deal for me. The only problem is, do you want to have a realistic version of the resource or stylized?

BTW, I know people (from these forums) who have managed to add 60 resources to the game without experiencing any crashes, invisibilities, transparency errors, bugs, etc... They are just a lucky few, I suppose..

when can we dload it?

Look really good Why You don`t upload it to the Apolyton Forum?

I'd be in favor of the leaf as well, just as in colonization. Sugar could be added the same way. The pictures were clear and nice. And that would go for colonization era.
