\res_mods\0.9.10\scripts\client\mods\ZJ_Mods\xml\ZJ_MRL.xml

 

Everything you want, is in the config file. Use Notepad++.

 

As for what colors you can use, look inside the folder: \res_mods\0.9.10\scripts\client\mods\ZJ_Mods\flash\

 

And adjust in the config file.

One year later:

Now if I can change the expiration so I don't have to re-download entire mod pack and paste in all my tweaked mods.   Why does ZJ have expiration anyways?  Any chance you know how to tweak that in the code?

 

BTW, you guys are awesome!

ZJ has expiration date since it's a trial version.

ZJ sells subscription to his mods. One of the selling points would be to avoid the short expiration date. Though it would still expire if you paid.

 

Doubt you can change it - you'd have to somehow dismantle the code, which is most likely protected, and take out the code bit that does the check.

It does an online date check against several date/time servers. (For example, if your firewall blocks the mod, it won't work)

I see...  Nothing in life (and tanks) is forever.. (or free).

Thanks for the super quick reply.

 

Happy tanking!

True - but hey - at least the expiration date is often extended so it doesn't really run out except in the rare occasions :)

 

You can use the custom mods folder to avoid having to paste in your edits every time you run the installer - using the custom mods folder, it would get installed at the end, overwriting the other things :)

So just save a copy of my Notepad++ edited mod (such as markersAliveNormal) into that folder and it's there?   Good to know.   Thanks!

It would need to be in a zip file, with the proper structure.

So for example your markersAliveNormal, when you open the zip file, you should see:

\res_mods\configs\xvm\Aslain\markersAliveNormal.xc

 

And if it's an edit to a mod in the version folder, you should see:

\res_mods\version\and so on....

("version" doesn't have to be the actual number, but can be version, and the installer automatically puts it in the proper one :) )

The best you can do is probably create the folders, and then return to the main folder, right click on res_mods, and create the zip, then the structure should be fine inside :)

 

Good luck with it - and happy tanking!

(And remember, there's always help to get around here ;) )

tried that, and it zipped all the files in res_mods

every folder and file was then packed.   Probably not good if there's changes on those file.....

I'll keep trying...   for now, I save a copy to my desktop and paste it in after every mod pack download.  Not too bad.

What I meant is..

On your desktop, for example, create a folder called BEANS (because, why not..)

Inside that, create these folders, nested in one another:

res_mods, configs, xvm, Aslain, and place your markersAliveNormal.xc inside

Then return back to the BEANS folder - right click on res_mods, and zip it. :)

 

Hopefully that makes sense
