GRAPHICS: Easy to spot Resources

[SkankyBurns]

This mod puts labels on the strategic and luxury resources to make them easier to spot. The strategic resources have a letter next to them (I for Iron, H for Horses, etc) as each type of resource is very important.

The luxury resources have a generic smiley face next to them to make them stand out more from the tiles around them. It isn't really important (compared to strategic resources) just which luxury it is, just so you know there is a luxury there.

Bonus resources are left with just their original graphics.

This mod allows you to easily spot available resources, and fits in well with Civ 3's graphical style. The city view smiley faces have also been altered to use the same smiley as the luxury resources, but is optional to install (but recommended )

They are nice indeed. I would say it's one of the must-have mods.

I have made my own version of the resource pics...

Here it is:

SkankyBurns,

Downloaded the resource mod and forgot to come back to say howe well it works.

Nice. I have atleast one modded graphic: coal.
I'll put a picture up later (it isn't much.. just that one tile - after finding absolutely *no coal* in my first Civ3 game!).

I like this as my eyesight isnot as good as if use to be . I than 52 year old.

I like it as well; it is nice for those of with visual impairments.

Basely it was too much art work on the map and the inabilitily to change the gamma of the video.

HI all
I'm new to this game, but I love it. Where do I instal the resource file now that I have downloaded it ?
Thanks

Put it in the C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III\Art folder...

You may want to backup the original resources.pcx file first though...

I wish everyone would download this. Have you ever tried to see if your enemy had a source of coal or not when his territory is shadowed by fog of war? It's nearly impossible!

Even then it's still hard to see! I have like a 20/40 vision after so many hours staring at the screen. Anyway this mod will solve all those problems.

I've been noticing these graphics all over the forums in screenshots and it's taken me ages to find the right thread. It's a shame there isn't an index thread for this forum...

Anyway, there are amazing . They should be part of ptw like snoopy's mod

 

[Reagan]

The link to this mod is not working. I'd really like to download it, so if you can fix/re-upload the file I'd appreciate it.

 

[Thunderfall]

The file server appears to be down at the moment. I'll get it back up asap....

 

[Reagan]

Thank you kindly, sir.

 

[Globetrotter]

Just downloaded both Grey fox's and Skank's...
Will see tonight
Great Job both of you
