I am trying to change the scale of mines and waterworked boat marker. They are in this file (Assets\XML\Art\CIV4ArtDefines_Improvement.XML) but any changes I make do not show up in game.
In this file I adjust the <fScale>1.0</fScale> on ART_DEF_IMPROVEMENT_WATER_WORKED but the scale in the game does not change. I have done this with the units and it works fine, any clue whats up?

You are amazingly patient. To modify the sizes of your improvements you are probably going to want to modify the information for that improvement in the plotlsystem file.

As for changing the boats, thats probably just a nif file, so you would need to change the nif.

The boats are all I'm interested in changing, the boats themselves are fine but I would like them to be %50 smaller.

Best thing to do is post what you have and let someone see, that way they get a better chance to see whats what?

Ok here is a picture of what I am trying to change in the game, those boats that show up when a water tile is bieng worked, they are just too big, I want them alot smaller.

Now I have traced the boats to the file CIV4ArtDefines_Improvements.xml
In this file they are in the line ...
<ImprovementArtInfo>
<Type>ART_DEF_IMPROVEMENT_WATER_WORKED</Type>
<bExtraAnimations>0</bExtraAnimations>
<fScale>0.5</fScale>
<fInterfaceScale>1.0</fInterfaceScale>
<NIF>Art/Structures/Improvements/WaterWorked/WaterWorked.nif</NIF>
<KFM>Art/Structures/Improvements/WaterWorked/WaterWorked.kfm</KFM>
<Button>,Art/Interface/Buttons/Brown_empty.dds,Art/Interface/Buttons/Actions_Builds_LeaderHeads_Specialists_Atlas.dds,-1,-1</Button>
</ImprovementArtInfo>

I have confirmed this is the correct area by replacing the waterworked.nif file with another and it changed the boats ingame. I just want to shrink the scale of the boats, changing the fScale does nothing.
So anybody here have any idea how to change the scale of these boats?

EDIT: nevermind, I just shrank the buggers in 3DMAX, PITA way to do it but it works.
