So since coming here from Roughnecks, I have quickly come to respect the team of guys who I see like Blue and Aslain who are answering questions non stop about either very basic things that are found in descriptions or notes they leave, or I find 15 topics about slightly different [1% diff] problems that really once explained one time should by the community be taught to the others. Roughnecks was a huge pillar of great minds from both the coding and the super artistic sides of WOT that literally started to entirely on its own make a server of 25k avg population start turning out as many ground breaking and game changing mods as the one with 250k avg population. It took 3 years to do it, but towards the end the Ruskies who drive this market by 100`s of times, started to copy RN mods and would take the amazingly stunningly perfect art mods Soulza made change 1 color and call it there own on 15 different sites and then make it a premium modpack, basically making 10$ a month of it. The way we did this was WE, I mean the common guys who used Soulzas sights/DMG panels/Icons, or Maggz overhead reload, or his old very first ever WN8 calculator, We who knew little except we wanted our games to look that way took charge of saving there precious time, by learning and answering the basics they taught us. And as it happened all the sudden a core group 15+ guys became the "Help Team" These same guys like ATXMAXX and Spotter and Maggz and Soulza as well as good friends like Aslain, Solo and many others started to not just learn from the guys who knew nothing before but didn get there time wasted by having to help everyone on there own. Imagine what a guy like Aslain can do graphically in 3 hours time. He could create an entirely new HUD style, he could start a sound pack. He could also find many mor modders out there who want to partner with him and create our mods. TL;DR I wanted to start this thread to address some basic topics of WOT/WOWS mods that I keep seeing coming up in the for of bugs or as requests for 2 mods to merge etc. And im oping the guys who dont donate or pay will learn some of these things and help others who are stuck and as the general knowledge level rises it is amazing what will happen. RN went from a few guys who knew Python to a group of 500 who could do pretty good at reading a Python log and sussing out issues on there own. We had guys who were basic members making entire soundpacks, XVM configs with super advanced ways of not having to load heavy images so it didnt use almost any FPS. I mean very cool stuff. So when we get a large issue about never mixing 2 mods with Dock.XML, hopefully rather than just accept we cant have both mods some of you might take a chance and merge the 2 and hety guess what, you just made your first mod. Tmrw I will post about SWF files and how simple they really are and how easy guys like you can create things you didnt even know where possible in 15 minutes. HUD_Lib.SWF for instance holds every part of the entire graphics overlay/HUD and can be completely changed in anyway you want. And by learning this you will help newbs knwo not to mix adn match mods that share this HUD [Image] Libray. And to those who are already good. Help out as much as you can. The rising tide lifts all boats guys More time saved for Aslain answering dumbass questions, means cooler mods, faster releases and he will do this longer and wont burn out.

Post like that make mad as well, I feel like bringing back negative feedback arrow.

Guys when this happens what is happening is your cursor is misaligning. People think they cant exit battles unless they hit escape, they can`t type in cha unless they press tab etc. I ran a test and it is simply the cursor being 40 pixels-120 pixels south of where it is aim at. But ingame the crosshairs take over and force alignment. IF THESE PROBLEMS HAPPEN AGAIN DO NOT UNINSTALL GAME. OMG everytime I read a person jumping to that right away I cringe, your just slowing down he server for us There is a way to do a sanity check so if your game has files that are corrupted or missing it just replaces those, I will do a post on it later. And if it hangs on the file like the HuD_Lib.swf then delete the current one and it will force DL a new one. If the problem happens again guys it is the HUD_LIB.SWF and this file contrils ALL THE RIBBONS, and logo`s and signs in game. It also aligns your cursor image. Please dont freak out and delete client, thats a huge waste of 10 gb`s of perfectly healthy files. This is hwy WG made RES_Mods so you could simply delete it and clear cahce and be done.
