Getting rid of advisor map icons?

[Simon280586]

Does anyone know how to disable the huge models that appear on the map when you assign your councilors a mission? I find they get in the way, especially when playing as a small count. I found the relevant files in crusader kings ii / gfx / models / mapindicators, but if I delete them the game won't launch. Any ideas?

Success! I found a file called avatars.gfx in the crusader kings ii / interface folder. Open it up with notepad(++) and use Ctrl-F to search for 'chancellor'. Here you can change the scale of each of you councilor's map icons - put 0.0f instead of 1.0f for each of them to make them invisible!

You can still see where each of them is assigned by hovering over the buttons in the council screen.

edit: I've put them on 0.4f now, I think that's a good size. If they're invisible you still get selection circles around where they are which can be annoying.

edit 2: you may need to change Western / Eastern / Muslim advisors depending on who you are playing as.
