lol,,, yes no.65... I meant that.... and of course they would need to be Luxury or Strategic resources in the 2 and 3 column to replace the changed resource in the 1st column.

Q: > How do I obtain a resource sheet that can have more than 36 resources on it?
Q: > Is there a limit to how many boxes that is allowed per row and equally per Column? - Does it have to be 6 res. per row as in the 6x6(36) resource sheet? Does it have a limited number?
I've located a blank units_32 sheet (I guess it is no different than resource_32 sheet). It is 28 boxes across the top (rows), and 15 boxes downwards (columns). Blank is ok as I wish to change most of resource Icon pictures.
Q: > Can I cut the sheet ?
Q: > Can I add or join sheets together? [ if so, how?].
------I would like to then end up with either;
( 8 boxes.per row x 32 boxes. per column /[ or preferably ]/ 16 boxes. per row x 16 boxes. per column.) - makes it easier to keep an accurate account with the '32 resource matrix'.

Max. size of resource.pcx
Cassus_Belli's resource.pcx thread. AfAIK this is the largest existing resource.pcx. Be sure to scroll down through the thread. His long posts include installation & adaptation instructions. There are also posts on things like the proper 'pedia text formats for rhe resources.
Making a larger resource.pcx is as simple as CnP. Just copy, line them up & paste them together. To start with a large blank - open his, select the green lines, invert the selection & fill everything else with the magenta. You'll get better looking results if you make the blank file rgb before you add the resources themselves. Then index the palette. Make sure to reserve the last two colors. Those are the ones that normally use magenta & green. They should not appear anywhere within the individual resources themselves. Detailed specific instructions would depend on what graphics programs you use.

I have Cassus_Belli's resource.pcx. It is the largest resource.pcx I have found. I like it because it isn't just limited to only 1 item per picture; eg: 1 horse, 1 sheep etc.
I tried to add a 2 horse picture from it, but it was to big to fit in the resource box
.
There is a text document with it, so I'm guessing that is where I'll find all the instructions.
ok,,,size of sheet seems not so important. 24 x 60 will be fine. I also understand the resource matrix thread set out by Pounder, so no worries there. One would only need shadows for certain resources, Gold etc wouldn't need a shadow. I never noticed shadows in the game.
PS: I found a very large units_32 sheet. Can I just use this as my units_32 sheet in my mod even though I wont be using most of the units?
thanks BM.

The folly of Man
So, bottom line, just to make things easier, when designing out your mod and you are beginning to add resources, the cleanest, most organized, and least buggy way to do this without having to modify any background screens or unrelated text would be to add your resources in the following order:
Luxury - up to 8
Strategic - up to (32-Luxury) - (or 24 if you have 8 luxury)
Bonus - no limit
You can increase Lux to 10 with your mods, and even higher with only graphical ugliness and no gameplay consequences so long as Lux + Strat does not exceed 32.
Would you agree this would be the ideal template to use when designing out your mod?

^Jade is an ornamental stone. The term jade is applied to two different metamorphic rocks that are made up of different silicate minerals. Nephrite and Jadeite. Nephrite and jadeite were used from prehistoric periods for hardstone carving. Jadeite has about the same hardness as quartz, while nephrite is somewhat softer. Among the earliest known jade artifacts excavated from prehistoric sites are simple ornaments with bead, button, and tubular shapes. Additionally, jade was used for adze heads, knives, and other weapons, which can be delicately shaped. As metal-working technologies became available, the beauty of jade made it valuable for ornaments and decorative objects. Dushan Jade was being mined as early as 6000 BC. In the Yin Ruins of the Shang Dynasty (1600 BC to 1050 BC) in Anyang, Dushan Jade ornaments were unearthed in the tomb of the Shang kings. Jade was used to create many utilitarian and ceremonial objects. The use of jade and other greenstone was a long-term tradition in Korea (c. 850 BC – AD 668). Jade is found in small numbers of pit-houses and burials.
Nephrite jade in New Zealand is known as pounamu in the Maori language (often called "greenstone" in New Zealand English), and plays an important role in Maori culture. It is considered a taonga, or treasure. Tools, weapons and ornaments were made of it; in particular adzes, the 'mere' (short club), and the Hei-tiki (neck pendant). These were believed to have their own mana, handed down as valuable heirlooms, and often given as gifts to seal important agreements. Jade was a rare and valued material in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. The only source from which the various indigenous cultures, such as the Olmec and Maya, could obtain jade was located in the Motagua River valley in Guatemala. Jade was largely an elite good, and was usually carved in various ways, whether serving as a medium upon which hieroglyphs were inscribed, or shaped into symbolic figurines. Generally, the material was highly symbolic, and it was often employed in the performance of ideological practices and rituals.

Only problem is the Luxury resources showing on my city screen LUXURIES Box are all wrong. I have 2 Luxuries in the game at present, Ivory and Silk. But in my LUXURIES Box I have Jade and Gems.
Making a luxuryicons_small.pcx file when you have more than 32 resources in the game.
I have 96 resources in my game, 22 strategic, 10 luxury and 64 bonus.
When I went to build my luxuryicons_small.pcx file (that's the file that displays the luxury icons on the city screen view) I thought that they would be read in the order that the luxury resources were entered in the editor, but they don't.
My tobacco is resource #56, but it had to be placed in before cactus and tropical birds which were resource #28 and #29.
When I laid out all my resources in a matrix 32x3, it was plain to see that the game reads them row by row in the matrix, not in the order that the are entered in the game.
This makes complete sense as it fits perfectly with the phantom resource bug.

You guys are posting the resource pcx file, that has nothing to do with it.
For the luxuryicons_small, it's to do with the order they appear in the matrix by row, which is dependant on the order they were picked in the editor.
The editor can pick from anywhere in the resource file, the resource pcx order plays no part.

Pounder, you keep referring to a matrix. AFAIK there is a resources.pcx, a luxuryicons_small.pcx, a list in the editor & the 'pedia text file. It seems that your matrix is constructed by turning the list from the editor into a chart with 32 items in each column. But you haven't explicitly said so. I think that is where the confusion comes in.

I greatly appreciate all the help. I am a frustrating person to deal with when it comes to computer stuff as I am self taught, and I know nothing:
I didn't post my resource file. I posted my Matrix. I have been using these 64 resources with the same luxuryicons_small for several months, no problems at all. It has just been the last couple of weeks that this problem appeared. I just copied from mod to conquests. (ps: I did have a previous Conquests.BIQ go corrupt and vanish.)

So my understanding of this as a Matrix would be that Jade comes first on the luxuries_small as it is Row 11 (column 2);
Next would come Gems as it is Row 13 (column 2);
3rd would be Ivory as it is Row 14 (column 1)
4th would be Silk as it is Row 15 (column 1)
etc.
luxurysmall.pcx order: = Jade / Gems / Ivory / Silk / Diamonds / Lapis Lazuli / Silver / Gold / Quetzals / Pearls:
= I'm sure i have this correct.
= If wrong how should the luxuryicon_small be using my matrix?
PS: trying to figure out how to post the luxurysmall_icon...
I didn't post my resource file. I posted my Matrix. I have been using these 64 resources with the same luxuryicons_small for several months, no problems at all. It has just been the last couple of weeks that this problem appeared. I just copied from mod to conquests. (ps: I did have a previous Conquests.BIQ go corrupt and vanish.)

Matrix = Spreadsheet = Chart is not that hard to figure out. Still doesn't tell us that are less sophisticated where the list is coming from.
We can guess. imho you would have to do a lot less explaining if, for example, the annotated image from the editor highlighted a luxury resource (tobacco) rather than a bonus resource. & change the text explanation to match. That would make it clearer that - assuming I understand correctly - the matrix consists of the resources from the pull down list in the editor arranged into columns of 32.
