A way to scale resource icons on big screens?

Question: is there a way to scale the map resource (and info) icons? I want them to be smaller. The CTRL+R icons.

There is a setting or two that might be relevant.

In CIV4DetailManager.xml there is a setting called SYMBOL_SCALE, like so:

This might control the size of the resource marker. Maybe.

Try copying this file (from the base Civ4 folder Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Assets\XML\Misc\) into the same place in your mod, or if not using one create one that is just the XML\Misc folder and copy it in. Then cut the second value in each Key in half, like so:


Fire up the game, load the mod, and start a game to see what just got reduced in size by half: was it the resource markers? If so, you now know how to control their size.

Let us know if that works.

There are a couple other values in that file, and some others, that might be the controlling value for this if this one is not it. It is also possible that there is no XML setting for this.

I prefer turning them off unless I need to search for something.

Unfortunately, when I do as you said, the game consistently crashes upon loading the map (either from save or otherwise).
