Those wacky TOT resource sprites!

I'm currently having a real problem with the animated terrain in the TOT scenario I'm working on. I've put my own custom resource graphics in the terrain1.bmp file, and turned off animated terrain in the file menu. This works fine for most of the resources, but the oil sprites just sit there, blocking out my graphics

Is this a massive bug in TOT? Or will it correct itself when I save as a scenario (working with .sav files at the moment) and set the sprite override flags? And if it is a bug, what do I do?

first: save the "original" folder of ToT (copy/paste)
then delete all *.spr and all *imp.bmp files of this folder

Hmmmm, I thought it might come to that, thanks

Actually does anyone know if there's a list anywhere saying which sprite file matches to which unit/resource? I might just delete the problematic ones

Actually, it's not as complex as it seems. The fix for this problem is to start a new game, turn off the animation in game options, save the game, exit the game, load the scenario.

It seems that ToT holds some settings in the do not open me.sav file that effect loaded scenarios.

This oil bonus still here even if u disable terrain bonus animations. Delete all *.spr fix this bug and delete all *imp.bmp
delete icons of original ToT improvements/wonders slots in civilopedia (no more have an icon of Harbor when your scenario change it to trading spaceport... )

Dead right! The oil's still there, even when the rest of the terrain animations are turned off. So I think it must be some kind of bug

But I just renamed the terrain sprite file (no need to delete when you can rename

) and problem solved! Cool

Thanks to all for the help!
