Hi -
For some time now - back to 9.13 - whenever I install Aslain's it seems some files/ mods don't get unpacked from the DLC to the version folder. To date it hasn't been a huge deal, I simply unpack the zip files in the DLC folder and copy and paste them into the correct version folder and all seems to pretty much work ok.
I finally decided to take the time to register here and inquire if this is WAD or if there's something screwy with my install because tbh I'm not 100% certain that there are other issues happening that I'm not aware of.
Affected mods/ mods I typically have to manually unpack, copy, and paste:
Aslains Colored Tech Tree Icons
Aslains Gold Premium Tanks
Battle Results Window mods
Crew Voice mods
Login Historical Background Mods
etc. etc.
I've attached my most recent Aslain & Python log below.
Thank you for the tremendous quality and effort of work you put into this pack. When I didn't have it during the transition to 9.14 I was experiencing shaking hands, cold sweats, and night terrors. :D
PS - I have confirmed that this continues to be an issue (if not WAD) in the latest version (release 7 for 9.14)

Ever since downloading v08 I've been getting the same thing. I didn't have the issue with 06, and I never used 07. Went from 06-08 and it started happening with 08.
Here's a few more links to other reports. If it does turn out to be one of the modders you include in your packs I hope they get named and shamed. What a shit thing to do. I use your pack b/c of the integrity you've always demonstrated - your pack is always clean and you go to great lengths to stay on top of what's legal and illegal. I will continue to use your modpack and would recommend it to anyone now and in the future. I'm posting this simply to help you if in fact it is originating from one of the modders you include.

There's a few others - some in foreign languages I can't read.
Hope this helps your search - assuming it's a mod and not WoT itself.
