It might be that someone has already done this, but I couldn't find the file so I made my own C3C resources.pcx file that shows resource icons and happy faces for luxuries without changing the graphics of the resources themselves.

And here is the file: http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/ImprovedResourcesC3C.zip
 
Cool thanks, I was looking for something like that, me going to download it :D
 
Thanks, Talar :goodjob:

I've been looking for a version like this - without all the shields and coins on the bonus resources.

Next time I'll find that darn salpeter :D
 
Okay, Im totally new to CivIII and when I got it, I went ahead and got Conquests too, so Im sure this question will seem inane to many of you.

I cant figure out how you are editing/adding resources. Maybe Im still Fhinking CivII editor, but how can I add a picture in the editor? for example I have a scenario and I want Cotton as a resource (now I dont need 153 resources, just cotton). I see the button to "Add" and it asks for a name and I enter cotton. Then I scroll through the icon until it gets to a blank iconk, but I cant edit the pixels.

I looked at tutorials for adding units and that seems very difficult. (Im not computer savy and I dont like the idea of going in and fooling around with the game's files).

All I need to know is 1) how to create one resource picture and 2) how to add that picture to a .biq scenario.

You have to copy your conquests.biq into the scenarios folder and rename it to something like withcotton.biq so you can find it.
Create a folder named withcotton and inside this a subfolder called Art. Copy from your original Art folder the resources.pcx and the resources_shadow.pcx into the new Art subfolder. Open the resources.pcx in the subfolder with a paint programm. Paint yourself a cotton into one of the blank squares and save this resources.pcx.
Now open the editor and open your withcotton.biq. You can edit the resources under natural resources.

Have fun.

BTW: Questions like this should be asked in the creation and customization forum. I only answered it because it seemed a little bit rude to me to just send you away.

Thanks, Taé Shala. :) Yes, questions normally go in the main C&C forum, but at least he asked in this thread, instead of making his own. ;)

Good to know some folks can be nice while they correct others. :)
