This mod is discontinued.

Please use Resource Labels

Information

Original mod by DonovanHawkins. Ported and currently maintained by Pandemoneus.

Adds a label to each resource patch on the map. To use, just click on the Map Labels button. There is also a hotkey (default: SHIFT + M) that does this.

Configuration

There are a few things that can be tweaked from config.lua including the names used for resource labels and the ability to disable labels for specific resources.
In the ingame mod options menu you can toggle whether the Map Labels button is shown (per-player) and whether you want to see the resource icons and/or names (per-map).

Currently all vanilla ores, Bob's ores and Angel's ores are pre-configured. All other ores will be displayed using their locale.
