Looking For A Missing Resources.pcx

[Ozymandias]

I had planned on using it for Terra Fantasia, oh, about 10,000 years ago.

It had 6 or so different gfx for many Resource types, from animals to oil. One memorable which sticks to mind is a (single) giraffe.

Casus Belli's Edited Resource Compilation seems to contain the single giraffe among it's 900+ resources. Could this be the file you had in mind? The download-link still works.
PS. The Civiliopedia Icon-files for the giraffe are missing as far as I can tell.

@Jorsalfare - TY! This does seem to be the one, but the main (not shadow) .pcx seems to be corrupted

That was strange.... I downloaded it fresh just now. Unpacked it, and I could view it allright. I also opened it in Gimp for closer inspection, but I can't find any problems - apart from the fact that its colormap is completely different from the colormap of Firaxis' original file. Can you view the file in some image viewer? If the problems occur when copying resources from this file to your existing resources.pcx file, then a mismatch in the colormaps between the two files could garble up the (imported) graphics. If that's the case, you need convert the pieces you want to import so that they match the colormap of the file you want to add them to.

.Hope this was somewhat helpful.

Regards Sigurd.

I just converted Cassus Belli's file so that it now uses Firaxis' colormap (assuming your existing resources.pcx is also using Firaxis' colormap). Hope your import of exotic goods goes according to plan now.

Let me know if it still doesn't work.

Enjoy the upcoming weekend and New Years Eve!

TY, Sigurd! I tried opening it in 3 different tools, including the usually reliable "fallback" Pixilliion ... And you've been around these parts long enough to know that I am the many times self-proclaimed, "Village Gfx Idiot."

A peaceful Solstice Time & Joyous 2022 to you as well!

Oz, your mention of the Giraffe got me to thinking, The resource pcx for Rick's Battleground has a Giraffe, and a lot of duplicate recourse images.
