GRAPHICS: 96 Resources

[Amesjustin]

Here is a resource file I now use containing 96 resources. It contains a few oldies you have seen before, some altered versions of what you have seen before, and some brand new, original art by me. I will post a description as well as actual screenshots of each later. Enjoy!

BTW - a few posts down there is a WinZip version of this for those of you who do not have WinRAR.

[Amesjustin]

some descriptions are in a previous file I had posted containing 84 resources. Note that some of the resources in that file no longer exist in this one.

A preview of Resources.pcx:

[MrWhereItsAt]

Good God! How do all of these fit into the city screen? Are they all luxuries or bonuses or strategic or a mix?

This may be very very cool. Nice work.

[Amesjustin]

I will post the credits as well as how I use them tonight. If you do well enough, the strategic resources have been known to scroll across the city screen.... but I think it is worth it!

[kring]

Thank you; I will try it out.

[Amesjustin]

Here is a winzipped version:

Nice work!

Do any luxuries over 8 affect happiness? I was under the impression that only the first 8 made citizens happy and that extras had no effect.

Not really sure. The mod I am working on uses 13 of them as luxuries, all of which are quite rare (30). The game I have going I only have 5. I will check it when / if I hit 9. Anyone else tried this?

Even if you can't use them past 8 - it would still be good for trade as well as denying your enemies any luxuries.

But if you have eigth who cares about a ninth one if it has no effect? If they do affect happiness then I want to make a mod that has few happiness generating improvements but hordes of different luxuries forcing you build vast trading empires to win.

See my previous statement. Also keep in mind that if you use this for your own mod, you are the one in control of whether it is a bonus/strategic/luxury. I am just providing the graphic.

BTW - what gave you the impression that 8 luxuries was the limit? I was under the impression that particular little bug was squashed in a previous patch.

[Amesjustin]

A screenshot from the editor showing all 96 resources. Had to shrink it to 67% to fit into Apolyton rules...

[Amesjustin]

The third post from the top now lists each resource as well as the credit to the original artist (if known). I also added some suggestions for some of them,

[twoflower]

just for insanity I'm putting all of the resources in a single mod for personal use

[Amesjustin]

Thats what I did!

A piece of advice - lower your strats and luxes appearance ratio to 100 or lower - especially if you have a lot of civs. the first map I did with these was on a standard map with 31 civs with most appearance ratios around 800 to 1000. Not only did it take FOREVER to load, but there HUGE chunks of each resources - 32 spices all grouped together and the like. Just keep tweaking the numbers until you are atisfied with what you see.

[twoflower]

thanks man I'm in the process of adding them to my double your pleasure mod

I have just done extensive playtesting and without a doubt the game will NOT UTILIZE MORE THAN EIGHT LUXURIES.

You can have more than eight but they are pointless as a city with 32 luxuries generates the same number of happy faces from them as a city with only eight.

Still one more example of Firaxis going the extra mile to program out scenario and mod building possibilites. Man, I hope a civ-friendly developer gets the job to make Civ 4 and not Firaxis.

You can have more than eight but they are pointless as a city with 32 luxuries generates the same number of happy faces from them as a city with only eight.

As I said before, using this pcx, I only use 12 luxuries, all of which are so rare the chance of getting more than 8 in one city is very slim. The other 84 resources being strategic and bonus.

It looks to me like the game itself can handle more than 8, just not more than 8 in one city. For example:

City A has luxuries 1 through 8 available, and gets a boost of 8 happiness. City B has luxuries 5 through 12, getting the same boost. The problem occurs when a city gets that ninth luxury which would give no happiness.

This might make any luxury pointless for happiness reasons, but still usefull for denying other civs happiness or trading.

If I am wrong on this let me know.

Either way, it is up to the user to determine how they use these resources.

Considering Sid Meier owns both the rights to Civilization name and Firaxis, I don't see that happenning. Best we can hope for is that Firaxis recent hiring flurry of high-end developers will do the trick, and hopefully they will have enough cajones to tell the publisher when they are or are not ready to publish it.

[Hagbart]

The pipe looks strange. Why have pipes as a ressource?

[Amesjustin]

as an alternative to the leaf for tobacco.

[Falconius]

I'm new to making mods. How would I add these?

[Amesjustin]

rename your Resource.pcx file to resource_old.pcx. Then put this file in its place.

Then use the editor to add the new resources.

[Falconius]

OK, got that. But what do you put for "Civilopedia Entry"? Is there a text file I need to alter?

[Amesjustin]

Civilopedia.txt in the Text folder. Look for the other resources.

You could also point the new resources to the older ones in the editor, and they work just fine. The description in the Civilopedia will be wrong, but the resource will still work.

Read through the Civilopedia.txt, as well as the other text files. Also check out the help threads here and @ www.CivFanatics.com. Both are helpful.

Amesjustin, THANKYOU ET AL for this fine work!!

Just now, today put it to work, greeeat job.

In working with Snoopy's graphics, I found some resource icons to dark for my taste, however it was no problem modifying to suit my needs and even create a new one from scratch, again many thanks.
