Well, I wasn’t sure if I should actually change the resource entirely or just the mines. I thought it might make it confusing for players to replace the resource. So instead, the toilet paper is worth its weight in gold.
No, that would take forever with each SMX having between 480-960 frames. I used my FX Editor tool in my app to automatically draw the shopping carts using a custom FX (as a SLX file). Basically, it merged the two graphics together and layered them according to my specifications. The only frames I had to edit manually were the “gathering” animations to cut out all the fruit/berry baskets.
When I have time to do tutorials, I’ll demonstrate how I did it.
It wouldn’t be precise enough since it would block parts of the villagers. Anyway, I got the work done so any future ideas I have for stuff like this will be easier to do.
Hi Tevious, the possibilities for trade carts to no carry trade goods like carpets, sacks of wheat and other goods are opened up if what you have done can be replicated. I’m most intrigued.
