I just read about a "clutter-clear" terrain graphics mod by Dr. Alimento, which apparently allows you to see what the mostly-hidden tiles contain. It downloads as a "resourcesOL.pcx" file.

Does anyone know whether this is a good terrain graphics enhancement, especially for determining what's hiding under the dark, and...

...how to install it (meaning where does it go, and does anything get removed)?

Thanks.
 
FYI, we have moved to prohibit the use of this graphics mod because it is clearly cheating because it makes a major effort to extend the appearance of the resources out from under the defined diamond shape area that should be the maximum extent of a resource icon.

Some graphics mods in the past have pushed this limit but this example is the first one that seems to be deliberately defined to try and gain an unfair advantage in the game.
 
I'm glad, as it clearly goes against the game's intent, but was being used, creating an unbalanced situation. I'll assume that all graphics mods which extend visibility are illegal.
