have anyone been able to add more resources past 24?

[papajohns]

they show up on the map, but as soon as i build a road to them i cant open the city screen..it crashes the game..anyone has similar problems?

 

[pesoloco]

v1.21 is supposed to fix that problem however I still have had problems with resources not showing up. (I think I added about 10 new resources)

 

[papajohns]

mm..does anyone know whats this luxuryicons_small file in the civ/art/city screen directory for?.. this file might solve the new luxory icons not seen.... or if u notice if u replace some old luxory resources with new icons the old ones still appear in the city view.. i took a quick look at the file and cant figure out the order of the icons...nor how to add new ones in there..

I'll take a look.

I tried adding strategic resources, and they didn't crash the game. When I changed them to luxury resources, it crashed the game. It seems that now we can add more strategic resources, but not luxuries yet.

I have never be able to add any luxury resources without the game crashing. I believe it has to do with how the program calculate the multiplyer effect of each luxury and how it is displayed in the city (which I believe it is hardcoded). I manage to use Crashguard to intercept the crash and look into the city once and instead of say 8 happy face for the 9th luxury it is a whole black line of happy faces (infinity ? ). However, the game will not crash as long as you do not open the city view. Oh well.

I was Just coming ehre from my game to post this. I can get up to Number 26, Luxuries & all, but not beyond.


So much for the Much Vaunted Resource Fix.

[mizaq]

i've had a game where i had all the original strategic resources PLUS 14 new ones.

I think, maybe, if you only add one new luxury resource it might be ok, but I know for sure that if you add two new luxuries (10 total) the game will crash. Just don't add new new luxuries make new strategics.

 

[papajohns]

so have anyone figured out what this luxuryicons_small file is for?

i think it may be unused by the game.

 

[GIDustin]

Quite the contrary. It is used by the game, but hard coded. I talked to Mike B. FIRAXIS about it. It will be fixed in the next patch

As of my tests, I see that you can use the first 6 rows in the resources.pcx file just fine as long as you do not add any more luxury. I have not been able to add any more than just 12 (making 36 total resources the new max instead of 24).

Kal-el found the same results as I.

oh. ok. i had heard about the adding luxury problem. When I add resources I just make them strategic so they can still be traded.

 

[papajohns]

if you take a look at the file you see that all the resources in there are luxury....the might explain why you cant add luxury but can add bonus and strategic...

bummer..

 

[Ralendil]

???

I don't understand you say all it is impossible to add a luxury resource?
I have done that for long time and no crash for me or reported for this.

I will try again and take a look after all things that concern this (trade, city windows display of resources...)
But I haven't constat a bug yet....

And with the 1.21. I have added more ressources without crash yet... Don't understand nothing...have to test...

 

[Ralendil]

Maybe i have found the bug that you speak about....
