What sets the scale of ships in the Battleviewer? (Cargo Hulls)

from GalCiv3 Forums

I'm pretty sure, that somewhere, there is a file or line that controls the overall scale of a ship in the battleviewer. I seem to remember that Cargo hulls were once upon a time, the same overall scale as Medium hulls. Then they enlarged them massively.

I find it really distracting, since I've designed so many ships to operate at that smaller scale, to now see them so much larger... was hoping to mod it back down.


Anyone know where that might be?

I was sure I came across this while working on one of my mods, so I checked my mods to see if I could quickly find it.  It is in GalCiv3GraphicsDefs.xml located in the data\Core directory in the original GalCiv3 directory.  In that file search for "BattleViewerScale" to locate them.  There is a lot of Battle Viewer graphics settings in there.  I don't know for sure if this is what you need, since I haven't tried to change any of these values.

Ahhh! Thank you! That indeed worked wonders!

My Cargo ships are back to being reasonably detailed for their size!
