Really nice job. I'm one of the folks who thinks that Civ III is mostly okay, I guess, or I haven't spent enough time with it yet to find the annoying problems. Up until a couple of weeks ago I was still playing Civ II pretty regularly, so Civ III seems like a great improvement. The one thing that was bugging me, aside from the computer colonizing all over me, was that it was so hard to read the moods of my people.
A quick world war took care of the first problem, and your smiley head mod took care of the second. I've downloaded a couple of mods from Apolyton in the last week or so but so far, yours is the only one I've installed.
Thanks for a well-made and useful fix.

specialists get icons from another file, for instance entertainers get 1 happy symbol and tax collectors get one gold coin stack and scientists get 1 purple beaker. if you use the editor to change scientists to give +5 to science, they will have 5 beakers by them. That being said, it wouldn't be too hard to add an icon for specialists that just says what type they are. I might get around to that this weekend if someone doesn't beat me to it.

Great. b:
that's excactly what I ment.
It just makes it a lot easier to see what kind of specialists you have in large cities, when looking at your domestic advisor screen (F1).
Looking forward to it !

The zip file appears to be corrupted after I d/l it. I have pulled other files from this site, so I am not sure if its just me. Everyone else ok?

Go to this thread and use pkzipfix to uncorrupt the zip file. Worked for me.

Mizaq,
Have you found anything out about how it gets its graphics other than the specialists in the game? I tried adding some new specialists with the default graphics in place and it used the guy at x-y coordinates or: 2x6 and 2x7, as well as some others. If you find a way to utilize other graphics, please let me know. I would love for the new specialists to look correct.

check out this thread. The short version is that I don't have a clue, far as I can tell it goes back to the top of the file. Adding width and height didn't make any difference.

So with the extra width file you created, if you create the specilist heads where they select from it would probably use them for a civs heads that normallyused that area, wouldn't it?

yeah, what happens is that for the new citizens it grabs icons from the positions that are currently filled by laborers. it didnt use the extra width or the extra height. I made it wide enough that it could hold all the new citizens i made +3 spots for possible empty spaces, but it still pulled from the laborer slots.
However, there is always the chance that I didnt add enough to the side or the bottom. For instance, I didn't add enough if the game wanted a male and female version of each new citizen placed to the right or a male and female version for each era. I gave up, there are a lot of possibilities, and I have a feeling its hard coded, so changing the pcx wont do much good. My time is better spent elsewhere then on this dead-end.
[edit] Oh, btw, that graphic i posted has been corrected so that when you are using a taxman it shows the correct icon (for some reason I noticed the previous graphic was showing the scientist).
