Beautiful. Your work managing all these mods has changed how I approach WOT. I can't thank you enough.

Just a heads up, but for most of 9.14, versions 1 and 2 of the custom damage indicator haven't worked properly. Currently, the first version sometimes fails to record the length of time since the hit, instead just displaying a 0 and refusing to update. I'd say it does this about 30% of the time. The second version is cluttered to hell, so it's very hard to see, but I think it either lasts for only 5 seconds ( not a bug then, I guess) or it shuts off at random times. I can't tell because it's nearly impossible to read in combat. _Aslain_logs.zip python.log

There are two things I would love to see in the future. So far, the only reason I use locastan's minimap mod is because I can read my viewrange on the minimap and know exactly what it is. I find this to be critical information, but I also want the default XVM stuff that I cannot access. Is there a way to port the viewrange readout to the XVM version? The second thing is I have been desperately looking for someone to fix Meltymath's Map mod for one reason: the mod used to have an armor calculator, which would display a 3D readout on how much your armor effectively was at the angle you were looking at. I found this critical for German tanks, and I desperately miss it. Please add this one of a kind function back to the game.

I'm having the same trouble with the armor inspector. I know I have at least 2 other mods occupying the same spot, Server turret accuracy and direction indicator. _Aslain_logs.zip

Only thing that isn't working is the light bulbs next to spotted players names, and I think that is the result of some mod conflict, not the problem.

I had some problem with random mods not installing. Try installing your mod pack somewhere unimportant like a folder in desktop or My Documents, then cut/paste the entire package manually into the world of tanks root folder. I've got almost no problems now.

Done. _Aslain_logs.zip python.log

Well, that's not my biggest issue. The issue I'm trying to get fixed first is that the contours that aren't showing up at all. Although, at this point, it seems as though a lot more than the contours broke as I continue testing/playing. I'm also getting that json error that's been popping up. I'm going to try and install it to another directory, then roll it all into res_mods manually. edit: Kudos to aslain for a handy dandy uninstall shortcut. That just saved my ass, I think. Update 13MAR16/10:13PM Well... It's ugly, but Manually installing it to a kosher directory, then throwing that into the correct spot fixed pretty much everything. Only problem is it still only works inside of a battle. New question! How do I direct XVM to replace the contour icons in the hanger? I suppose it has something to do with iconset.xc?

The download urls that the exe uses to extract files? Maybe, although I can go to res/contouricons/regular/ and find most (!?) of the icons just fine. It just seems to be a problem of XVM being prevented from directing WOT to the correct folder, somehow. Unfortunately, Meltymath has gone through at least... 3 replacement curators? The last I knew (around 9.10), the latest guy gave up and there was a community effort on the EU servers to try and get the parts together. In fact, the reason I switched to Aslain was because somebody said he got it fully functional in 9.10-13(?) AND he had POGS/Ashbane. So it's effectively dead outside of the neutered variant that everyone claims as the full package.

I just picked up Aslain's mod pack and find it to be very useful, although it has some limitations. My current issue is that the installed POGs stat contour mod doesn't display. When I first installed it, it would only display on the inBattle player lists and the battle statistics tab, but I would only get the default contour icon in the hanger tabs (it's used to show which tanks crews are trained in) and on the Over target Marker. When I tried to fix this, I installed Ashbane's instead, but found that none of the icons worked anymore. So I reinstalled a few more times to try and fix the problem, lost the OTM contours, then started clean installing it to no avail. I then spent 2 hours trying to trace where the contour icons were supposed to be stored and what the current contour 'pointers' were supposed to be, but they look fine. It should be doing everything okay. For 2 followup questions, how does Aslain's installer interact with files already in res_mods? I was assuming it'd overwrite just individual pieces, but I've cycled through several OTM markers and lost several functions. Is there also a depository for just manually grabbing the individual files without XVM/Aslain integration? That's my biggest dislike of the installer setup. For instance, I had to download meltymathmod to find that it was the gutted hack version that had half of the functions missing, especially the armor calculator. Ew. If you need additional information to respond, don't hesitate to ask.
