YES mate, I will let you in on a secret! I've already rescaled, relocated, redressed and in many other ways
refurbished both ROC and ROS down the DRAIN. I can't even see them any more!

For those who really wants to rescale ROC and ROS, is quite easy:
1.open map editor
2.press Ctrl+A
3.press Del

Taadaa!

Exactly what I did, but I call it "Down the drain"!

Out of curiosity, is there a way to edit the size of the company icons on the map view? They seem quite small and some are hard to see what the company is.

[Arayas]

yes, icon size in zoom file but then you will get tones of "insuficient buffer" errors.

@markypark14

Which BG are you using?

@BenganJ

I'm using the universal satellite BG

In the mod you have a file /def/map_data.sii, which you can edit, but be careful.
You will find two sets of icon settings in there and to be honest I don't know exactly
what the first set do, but I assume they have an impact on icons other than company
ones, which is taken care of by the second set. Here you have the two sets, and they
have impact on the 4 different zoom levels of the map.

Coomon icons:

Code: Select all

	icon_size[0]: (13.0, 13.0)
	icon_size[1]: (10.0, 10.0)
	icon_size[2]: (10.0, 10.0)
	icon_size[3]: (8.0, 8.0)
	icon_size[4]: (15.0, 15.0)
	icon_size[5]: (12.0, 12.0)
	icon_size[6]: (10.0, 10.0)
	icon_size[7]: (15.0, 15.0)

Company icons:

Code: Select all

	company_icon_size[0]: (32.0, 8.0)
	company_icon_size[1]: (20.0, 5.0)
	company_icon_size[2]: (0.0, 0.0)
	company_icon_size[3]: (0.0, 0.0)
	company_icon_size[4]: (60.0, 15.0)
	company_icon_size[5]: (40.0, 10.0)
	company_icon_size[6]: (16.0, 4.0)
	company_icon_size[7]: (16.0, 4.0)

Experiment with different sizes until you are satisfied, but note that you have to restart
the game in between the editing on that file. And DON'T TOUCH any other settings in there! :D

both cases first 4 are in map view last 4 are for GPS view.
