Did you extract it from the zip file first?

1) extract the baler zip file.
2) open the i3d in Giants editor
3) look for startIndex, widthIndex, heightIndex
4)adjust startIndex and widthIndex - move them outwards from each other to make a wider pickup area.
5) Also move the heightIndex out the same amount as startIndex (so that x coordinates match).
6) save

7)try the mod in the game before zipping it back up, to make sure it has worked. BUT DON'T FORGET, if the original zip file is still in the mods folder, the game will use that first and it will look like your changes have not worked, so take the original zip file out and put it somewhere safe, (eg on your desktop) in case you need to revert to it.
