GRAPHICS: Easy to spot Resources

[NewDestroyer]

I installed the mod correctly but so far a strategic resource like iron doesn't have the "I" over it.

I saw this while I was going through the graphic updates and thought it was a great idea. After having some trouble with coal in one of my tournament games, I downloded this and, WOW, what a difference. As it turns out, I had two deposits (neither were connected) after all. Now I can't play a game without it.

Thanks.

I don't know if anyone is following this thread anymore, but I tried to install this mod and I see no difference. I put the two files in the proper locations (after backing up the originals), but the labels don't show up in the game...

Are you playing a C3C scenario? - Some have new resources.pcx.

BTW: maybe you like the one from my signature too.

Thanks for the advice, Tae Shala. I have the Civ Gold edition (which includes PTW, but not Conquests). I've tried starting games from scratch (ie, normal, plain vanilla games, not scenarios or anything), but the labeled resource icons don't show up--which is odd, considering the fact that the original, non-labeled icons shouldn't exist anymore (at least not in their original directories).

As per the instructions in Skanky's download readme, I replaced the two files in the Art directory (resources.pcx) and the Art|city screen directory (CityIcons.pcx). The resources.pcx file is obviously the one that counts, and when I click on the file it pops up with the labels. The only logical explanation is that the game is drawing the resource icons from another location. At least, that's the only logical explanation to me. Perhaps someone else has some insight?

If you are using PtW you have to place it in the ...Civ3\Civ3PTW\Art directory.
I think you placed it into ...Civ3\Art.

 

[Suho1004]

Yup, you're right. Of course, I just figured this out for myself. After my last post I thought, "Hmm... if the only logical explanation is that the game is pulling the file from another location, why don't I do a search for resources.pcx?" Lo and behold, there is the resources.pcx file in the Civ3PTW directory. I have never done any modification to the game before, so I wasn't aware of the difference. Now I know.

Thanks for your replies and assistance. If I had used my brain from the start I wouldn't have had to trouble you about it...

Are these resource graphics also available for C3C? And if, where to find them?

Look in my signature . "C3C resources with labels & icons"

oops Thanks, that helps a lot
The whale looks strange. Did you make it for another terrain than the standard one?

Yes. I made it for snoopys terrain.
