Fuel Enhancements

[redrum]

@general_zod I would like to make it a unit option available to any type of unit. I think it particularly fits best with air units but in theory you can imagine a map that uses a flat fuel cost for land/sea units as well especially if they have high movement rates.

That being said, I haven't actually looked at the code yet so if air fuel consumption is coded very differently from sea/land then it might be implemented in phases where the new flat fuel option might only work for say air units initially.

Initial pass on being able to display current player's resources on the bottom bar:

Looks good. I guess if you were to display both what you have and what you get, it could be like:
PUs: 54 (+37) Lumber: 19 (+9) Food: 23 (+13)
or
54 (+37) 19 (+9) 23 (+13)

It would be cool if there were icons, maybe only icons if the map folder had a directory called resources and there were 24x24 pixel pictures with the corresponding names. Like the way PU markers and territory names work.

As I mentioned before, I am pretty sure that I once saw a map directory called "resources" in a map I downloaded. But I would guess that the engine never really supported this resource display thing. But I think I have found the old forum thread that discussed the option of displaying territory production. I do think that it makes much more sense to display total resources that can be spent and be collected: http://tripleadev.1671093.n2.nabble.com/Multiple-resources-working-soon-tp7058897p7167455.html
Seems like hepster was also involved in the previous project

@redrum I like with names. Will leave room for about 10 or 12 resources.

@frostion The resource folder was made so that the rendering could be done.... but the feature never really got to completion.

@hepps kinda upset i cant upvote it 10 times

[General_Zod]

@frostion I like your version too, more informative. Btw there is a resources folder in the tripleA assests folder, not sure if that's what your looking for.

@prastle I threw another one in for ya pras : )

[redrum]

Wow, I put a few images on the screen and get like 10 replies in 5 minutes

@Frostion Taking my thunder but yes adding resource income is the next step. And yes if you look at Civil War it already has a "resources" folder with icons that I'm using. There are also a few defaults including in the engine.
