Installer & mods: bugs, missing and suggestions


Recommended Posts

  • Moderator

(Before anyone says anything, yes I know there's also "requests" in the thread.. but it's easier having one big one :P )

 

Hey Aslain!
While translating, I started noticing a few things here and there, so figured I'd look over the entire list ^_^
(Did not look up all the crew voice mods, and some others that were missing links)
 
Hopefully the names I gave the images, will make sense.. I tried to name them so they match the different things on the list. (And the mods themselves)
 
Installer things:
• There seems to be a weird thing with the link area, if there's no visible link, picture attached.
• Is it possible to have the "Full-Size Picture" not open in Windows Photo Viewer, but rather in the default viewer for jpg files?
• moonio contour icons on the list, but greyed out
 
Missing image preview or changes:
• Scale of carousel cells (one picture with all 3 sizes, and then each size on each option, attached)
• Scope Shadow Remover (picture illustrating the change, attached)
• Show extra zoom indicator on crosshair (picture with a marker pointing to where the indicator will be, attached)
• Gold ammo visibility mod (remove preview under the main option maybe?, attached screenshots to be used under the 4 options)
• ServerCross (pictures of each color attached, leave the current preview image where it is)
• YasenKrasen (V 1) (attached)
• Skins of destroyed vehicles (all 4 attached)
• Female Tank Crews (attached new preview, better quality)
 
Bugged mods/missing features:
• Harpoon, v3.0 (en) (probably the other Harpoon sights as well) - degrees display no longer works, since 9.8, attached screenshots with markers where it's not displaying info anymore. (When messing with protanki's modpack to try and force spoter's mods to complain, I noticed his Harpoon 3.0 is showing the degrees, not sure if he did that himself, or if it's updated somewhere else)
• Extra Aim Info (for SPG) - works on all tanks, not just spg - see notes for this below, with changes/improvements
 
Changes/suggestions to improve/fix options/names: (Translators are going to love this one.. :unsure: )
• Colored Base Circles - change the 4 options to: "v.1 light red", "v.2 light blue", "v.3 red", "v.4 blue" (to match the image preview)
• Debug Panel by unknown - change to Debug Panel v3 by rafal_rambo (name from the website link)
• Debug Panel by Rangarocek - remove website link (wrong one) and change to Debug Panel by unknown
• Skins of destroyed vehicles - change text from (for SD client) to (for SD client, also works with HD client) or (for SD & HD client) < that last one to make it shorter than the first one.
• Extra Aim Info (on the link included in the installer, http://www.koreanrandom.com/forum/topic/22140- , there's a version that allows for selecting SPG only, or all tanks..)-(could make 2 options, one that installs "SPG only" and one that installs "All vehicles", attached picture)

• Session Statistics - YasenKrasen - current link missing, add soloviyko's link, he has taken over the development from _Jeso_ http://forum.worldoftanks.com/index.php?/topic/445745-
((( Alternatively, _Jeso_'s thread http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.php?/topic/209229 could be added instead of solo's... up to you, depends on the version used I suppose )))

• Skins of destroyed vehicles - Grey 25% - current link missing, add http://www.koreanrandom.com/forum/topic/1578-
 
Aaannnddd: Done for now! :P :ph34r:
(Hopefully it's useful to you, and what not ^_^)
 
PS: I have tried "forcing" spoters mods to complain about ProTanki, but I'm not sure how to get it done.. I installed ProTanki modpack, and the spoter mods, but still no message about spoter being disabled.. maybe the installation order matters.. I installed ProTanki after spoters.. :wacko:

Mother of god! THAT is devotion.

Hehe... I guess I have gone a little " :wub:  Aslain  :wub: " crazy, lol...  :P

I love the modpack, and started making a proper translation for Danish

And then I stumbled over a few things, and one thing lead to a trillion others, lol...

Back to translation now... I hope he can use most/all of it :)

I will reply you after fixing the stuff you listed, not everything is "fixable" per se :)

 

Got this so far:

 

v4.4.15 (10-06-2015):
- updated Radial Menu script in "Spam" and Marvin options (no more ProTanki crap I hope)
- removed outdated contour icons by moonio, vito74m and corehorn (authors not responding to my messages too)

No problem at all :) I don't think any other sights (that I've used in the past) had angles on them.. so I don't really use them :D

 

Oh by the way... flags are showing on statistics pages, even though it's not selected in the installer (I think it was mentioned before... not sure, couldn't find it)

Mistakes happen - even for 10,000 people companies :)

You're doing a supremely AMAZING job, for just one person.

I still can't understand how you do it  :wub:

 

I did have a peek in the folder mentioned in the WG thread, and yup - flags. :P

(Doesn't bother me, but I'm sure others will rage :P lol)

Ok about preview app, I cannot use anything external, it has to be that one I use in modpack, or some other DLL compatible with inno setup code launching, but preview is very hard bugger, super hard to do. Sorry.

 

That preview pictures for carousel scale - cannot use them, except for the comparision one, because preview window is scaling images, u made them different, but in preview window they look all the same,

Ahh okay, I didn't think it was something internal in the app that loads the preview images :)

 

And yeah... I was thinking about asking you about how the preview handles the images... I can re-do the ones you need :)

(as for the carousel, I guess the comparison one works for all of them, I'm sure people can tell which is which, even though they're shown for all of them :D )

It takes more time because there was reason I didn't add preview for all stuff I have. The picture preview is using string name instead of component name to display a picture.

 

So for example I have:

 

en.coloredBaseCirclesColor4=blue

en.servercross_blue=blue

 

That will bug preview for servercross blue, when you click on it, you will see empty messages. This is HUGE problem because translators will use their own strings, and if they duplicate them, they will bug preview in foreign installer version, and I cannot even check it easily.

 

Thats why I added preview only for base component, instead of every single line there.

 

Now I have to create unique string names, that may sounds stupid, but has to do it that way, no workaround.

 

In this case I have to rename all translations to color_name + servercrosshair to make it unique.

 

i.e: en.servercross_blue=blue servercross

 

Got it? :)

Ahh - well crap. To save you some working time, you could add the preview pictures of the non-base components, to the base component preview image, so it just shows all of them there, in one combined picture.

 

I could also get that done, won't take that long to get some new images made :)

• Extra Aim Info (for SPG) - works on all tanks, not just spg - see notes for this below, with changes/improvements

 

Couldnt find non-spg version, asked original russian author, but he ignored me, maybe because I'm western fashist or something ;)

Did you try that version you suggested from koreanrandom? Because I know there are versions that claims to work only in spg, but thats not truth...

Vehicle Contour Icons - Mikkaav's - current link is wrong http://www.curse.com...ldoftanks/aciym probably change to http://aslain.com/in...pack-98-update/(though not sure, since mikkaav's is based on artasan's)

 

I need to think what to do with this, since I used Artasans component for Mikkav's icons, while Artasan hasnt updated their own icons. Now must decide, to keep Mikkavs or update to Artasans - because they are the same, almost if not fully.

Holy crap, you've been busy :O Sleep well!

 

As for the one thing in the quote (I'll respond to other bits tomorrow): Where the link area usually is, if there is no link, and you click it, it'll open C:\Windows\system32 folder :P

(It should be mentioned on the "weird link area.jpg" file )
