modding luxury resources and crashing

[sandoval]

i added a luxury resource which seems to be crashing my game when i try establish a trade route with the civ that has it. basically what i think the problem is that the game doesn't know which luxury icon to place in the city screen window. whenever i establish the trade route and try to open the screen or investigate the city that owns the resource i get booted to the desktop.

does anyone know how to get the game to assign a small luxury icon as displayed in the city screen icon?

first you need to start off with explaining what you did to cause this error. you added a new resource? with the multitool or with the editor? how many did you make? did you also make other changes?

i added a new luxury resource using hacked civ editor, added in the pediaicons and civilopedia entries and the new resource showed up fine on my map. however, when i started playing, the game would crash when i tried opening an embassy with a civ that had that resource or tried clicking on one of my cities with a road connected to the resource.

my rough guess is that the game was crashing when it was going into the city screen mode because it couldn't figure out what icon to place for my new luxury resource in the list of luxuries displayed on the city screen.

I would point to the Art\City Screen\luxuryicons_small.pcx file. I havent the slightest clue how to edit that file, but it is probably what is causing the problems.

yeah, i've on idea what file points to the small luxury icon file in city view, what a shame, i really liked my idea for a luxury and had to get rid of it in order to get the game to work correctly.
