G'day folks,
trying to mod some here, but got some questions..
anyone know if there's any way to change the size of bombers/fighters etc?
Many pics in the graphics-folder are 128*128, but they're different sizes ingame (compare Silo and Fighter for example). Anyone know how to modify the sizes of these thingies? Made a nice bomber-plane, but its way to small, doesnt look right at all :/
Havent found anything in the files ive searched, is it hardcoded?

ya, but as it resizes the pics to different sizes (for the different ingame icons) there should be somewhere where you can edit and change how the gfx should be resized... like the silo's are size x 0.5, bombers are size x 0.2 etc..
if someone could figure out the exact ratios that exist now there's a chance we could write a program that searched the binary for a list of floats in ratios like that (that were not all zero)
having the data == finding where it is stored.
Here's an idea---
make a mod where all the icons are white circles.
start a single player game (no enemy)
then launch a ton of unit types...make them go vertical... then zoom way the heck in and find the ratio of the pixels... (i.e. airplane is 8 pixels wide, bomber is 20) (remember you need to zoom all the way in so we get the most accuracy in the ratios and so that they are all consistently measured)
if someone can give me a list of ratios I will write you folks a program to try to find an array of floats with those ratios... of course it may not be an array--but there are other ways of finding the data once we know it
And once we find the data, changing it is a snap!
