Following on from the discussion (somewhere round here... but I'm buggered if I know where...) on good graphics mods I d/loaded the "quickview" resouces.pcx but found it to be a bit too much screen clutter for my liking. I thought it was a good concept though, so I botched this together last night:
With Outline:

25.35 KB
I should point out the stuff in the top left corners is other peoples work, I have just added the small bonus indicators.
here it is to grab if you want it:
icon_paperclip.gif resourcesOLv2.zip (http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/uploaded/dralimentado/200355202813_resourcesOLv2.zip)
11.67 KB
link for GOTMv1 compliant beta (http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads4/resourcesGOTMv1.1_fixed.pcx) (no bonus icons, smaller strat/lux icons)
link for GOTMv2 compliant beta (http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads4/resourcesGOTMv2_fixed.pcx) (with bonus icons and smaller strat/lux icons)
I'll stick some previews in when I get a moment.
and in case you want to add the bonus indicators to a different resources.pcx here is the bonus layer only:

bonus layer only:

[EDIT: posted v2!!! now with icons in straight lines!!]
[EDIT2: added version with outlines]
[EDIT3: fixed wrong shields on furs/wrong food on game! [:O] removed original no-outlines version cos I couldnae be bothered to fix it...]
[EDIT4: Added GOTM beta versions]
This is looking very very good! I had the same problem as you had with the "quickview" resources. Downloading it right now.

Using these now, just what I have been looking for..
Could do with the extra food symbol being a different colour, keeps dissappearing with plains as a background, but fucking good job Dr.A.
What do you use to amend the pcx files?

I'm having the same prob with the food icon... I'm gonna try out your idea of using green Meli, and also maybe an outline, I'll see which I like better :)
Oh, PaintShopPro for all my pic editing.

As I've posted it on cfc I'll post it here,
Just the bonus overlay (for adding to your own resources.pcx): REMOVED-get fixed version from first post.
And why not, a preview:

After some tinkering I have added outlines to make the icons more visible. New version added to first post.
I've just downloaded both, I think I prefer the outline version, it's very clear. :)

Exstensive testing (hehe) reveals the outline version to be far superior :)

umm, anarres pointed out that furs only have +1 shield, and game has +2 food... me stupid [scratch]. me fixed now.
Now I now why I lost from Jack Merchant: I got the wrong info from the quickview. Sorry Dr Alimentado, I am desperately looking for reasons...

nice try Aggie ;)
But seriously, if you want to blame me for your loss I'd go for the map being unfair, that's a much stronger case [tongue]

PS. I have the utmost respect for you map-makers. What would life be without you?
Sorry about that threadjacking. I downloaded the latest 'patch' of your release. I already had people at CFC asking me were I got them.

Umm, I suppose I ought to state there has been some controversey regarding the use of this mod. Rather than rehash it all here if you are curious go read these threads:
This thread in the 'Graphics Modpacks' forum (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=52424)
This thread in the GOTM forum (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=52993)
I personally intend to carry on using my original mod, although I will need to check this is okay with all future pbem opponents. If/when I provide a GOTM complient mod I will make it available here too.
I read the thread and thought that Cracker had a point, but over-reacted. I will gladly use your GOTM-complient version. But until then your original remains my choice.

Cool!
Can you leave me all your stuff?
CFC password etc?
Melifluous
;)
Meli,
Good idea. I'll give it to a friend of mine. He'll mail you my password in case I don't return from the experiment. [tongue]
Is this threadjacking ? [:o]
Leaving your CFC password, you'll find yourself banned from CFC on return buddy. We'll spam the place [fdevil]

Hey Dr. A., this would make a great signature: "Unfortunately Dr. Alimentado, your actions here are irresponsible and harmful to others."
[lol]
Anyway, flaming and trolling goes in the OT zone.

I still think that this is a must have MOD...
GOTM compliant or not...
MAKE IT STICKY!!!

hehe, I can confess that for a short time my custom title said "bringer of harm and evil" and then "evil ***der" but I decided I didn't want to be the aggressor and changed it back to good old 'chieftan'.

Right, I've posted two GOTM complient beta versions in the GOTM thread linked above. I've yet to recieve any official word on whether there acceptable but check them out if you want :)
As soon as there 'officially accepted' I'll post them here and in my mod thread at cfc.
Dr A, you do a very good job in trying to get a GOTM version of the mod :) I find it a little disappointing that they don't react on your efforts in that topic.
Give them time - there is a lot going on behind the scenes and they have their hands full.
well, just typing/saying 'I'm sorry for overreacting, thanks for the effort to adjust your mod to comply with GOTM rules' takes about 30 secs...
(and that's me typing, someone with decent typing skills will probably do that faster.)

it is swallowing his pride..... I guess h first needs to cook it for a few days, then slice it into tiny parts.... something so large will then take time eating......
[lol] Reminds me of the Fear Factor television show where people are eating all kind of gross stuff (eyeballs, horserectum, live worms) just to win $50K.
Must be the same feeling.....

Killer - I think you are right ;)
But that's cool, it's just silly more than anything else! I feel I have already done my bit in offering the olive branch but if I get some kind of public apology or acknowledgment of some sort from him I will be entirely gracious and humble, cos that's my nature.
And let me thank all of you for the show of support (here and at cfc) [thumbsup] (I would list names, but dam, there's too many of you! You know who you are ;))

added GOTMv1 and v2 to first post.
I really like your "bonus layer only" mod. Any chance on an updated version for Conquests?

I can see what everyone is raving about, just put it on and can see every much easier now, finding resources I didn't even know were there in my current game.

Seeing things much easier is the point of the mods. That is not the issue. Seeing the icons sticking out of the fog of war IS the reason why people are complaining...some of them...one of them.
