After two days of testing, I have come up with a fix for the "No-more-than-50 bonus" bug. The original thread for this problem is located in the utility forum (entitled using 70 resources in a mod) but I decided to post the fix here because I wanted it to be known to modders in general. I am quoting much of what I said there: (If you want to skip the details... just download the file here).
And from a later post:
I believe that this layout will allow up to 84 resources (adding resources to a third line will work with gamefont_75.tga but probably not with gamefont.tga...)
Hi all.
I work on the same mod team as dubmetender and I have successfully modified the gamefont.tga file so that it works with adding up to (I believe) 84 resources. There are no problems with adding more resources to the gamefont_75.tga but for reasons explained below, this does not work as expected with gamefont.tga
EXPLANATION (as far as I can tell)
There is a bug that led to the gamefont_75.tga and gamefont.tga to be loaded with different methods by the civ4 executable. It appears as though the method was done by two different programmers, one for the smaller, one for the larger font... who knows, but they don't work the same
As a result, the layout must be done differently for more than 49 resources. This new layout has worked for the addition of 6 more. I have successfully added 6 resources (for a total of 55) with no further trouble. I believe that we can add to the end of the current row in gamefont.tga without trouble. If anyone goes beyond that, I expect we may have a problem again (but who knows... who needs more than 84 resources without a supercomputer).
And from a later post:
