carousel editing

[bubs79]

wonder if someone can help me  ,  I'm trying to  edit the carousel so that  I have  heavys showing first , example I want heavys first   mediums 2nd  lights 3rd tds 4th arty 5th

I'm messing round with config file and  I just cant get it right

in carousel.xc, you should see a line near the bottom with:

    "types_order":   ["lightTank", "mediumTank", "heavyTank", "AT-SPG", "SPG"],

 

Change that to:

    "types_order":   ["heavyTank", "mediumTank", "lightTank", "AT-SPG", "SPG"],

 

And if you want all heavy tanks next to one another, regardless of the nation, the line beneath types_order, you should probably remove nation as the first sorting criteria

Maybe you made small mistake in the config when you edited it, one small character being wrong, will break the config, and load default XVM stuff

Looks like expected behavior?

Heavy, Medium, Light, Arty, for the German tanks..

Heavy, Medium, Light, TD, for the Russian tanks..

[bubs79]

now this is weird ive got it almost there . but the the tanks just not setting out right  here is my config

 

  // Order of nations.
    // Порядок наций.
    //"nations_order": ["ussr", "germany", "usa", "france", "uk", "china", "japan", "czech"],
    "nations_order": [],
    // Order of types of vehicles.
    // Порядок классов техники.
    "types_order":   ["heavyTank", "mediumTank", "lightTank", "AT-SPG", "SPG"],
    // Tank sorting criteria, available options: (minus = reverse order)
    // Критерии сортировки танков, доступные значения: (минус = в обратном порядке)
    // "type", "nation", "level", "-level", "maxBattleTier", "-maxBattleTier", "premium", "-premium",
    // "winRate", "-winRate", "markOfMastery", "-markOfMastery", "xtdb", "-xtdb", "xte", "-xte",
    // "damageRating", "-damageRating", "marksOnGun", "-marksOnGun"
    "sorting_criteria": ["type", "nation", "level"],
    // Suppress the tooltips for tanks in carousel
    // Убрать подсказки к танкам в карусели
    "suppressCarouselTooltips": false
  }
}

 

problem is  tanks r still over the place

Default nations order is probably used, when you use the sorting criteria nation.

 

If you want all heavy tanks, regardless of nation, next to eachother, you should probably remove nation completely from the sorting_criteria.

 

Not really sure about the above. Hehe.

 

Otherwise I see nothing wrong in your screenshot.

The tanks are sorted top to bottom, column by column.

I think its something to do with the ratings too  , would removing that be ok ?

Not sure that matters?

 

In your screenshot, they are sorted by type, as you wanted, and afterwards sorted by level, which also looks fine in the screenshot.

yes that's ok  I don't mind that view but I was wanting to get all heavys first  regardless of level and  nation,  ive tried numerous things  and still no joy

Did you try the sorting criteria as:

    "sorting_criteria": ["type", "level"],

or

    "sorting_criteria": ["type"],

ive tried that and still no joy , oh well ill just use the config  for what I have screen shotted , its close enough to what I wanted

[Quaksen]

Weird.. I guess the country sorting is forced, and you're stuck with default sorting, or custom sorting, but it cannot mix the countries.
