Custom Building error

[drjest2000]

OK, I have a problem.

I'm trying to add Islamic versions of the religious buildings and I though to use the EE2 Mosque conversion. Only it isn't working out so well.

What do I need to change to make it scale correctly on the ground?

Hi drjest,
You can increase the <fScale> in ArtDefines, from the looks of things you could try about 6 times the current size for an fScale of 12, or more if you want it bigger than others. Also check the Pedia entry for new buildings and adjust <fInterfaceScale> if needed. Its a bit of trial and error, can be more convenient to check and update a whole set of graphics after you're done adding all you want.

Orlanth, Thanks for the reply - I was not sure which controlled the Pedia and which controlled the "plop". Doing a quick test now.

Yeps, 16.0 made it as large as the Town Hall. so I went for 20.0

Thank you!!
