Basically I believe all the mods work like code injection as the "res_mods" folder that contains them is nothing more than a mirror of the real res folder embedded in the game. As for the SWF, if we are truly speaking of a Flash file then Adobe retired that technology Jan. 1st, 2021 since it was unsafe. There was still a player available for a while, but now it's gone.

Dunno about any doc or source. Aslain might help you in that. Not a programmer, but I'm looking into it too based on last working installation on WOWS 11.5. As far I can see there is a "running_lights" folder at root level of the "res_mods" folder. Inside there is a "img" folder containing 3 .png with the 3 dots and a "setting" file that, after translating some Russian, it reveals to handle only color/transparency effects. Next there is the "flash" (swf) file which I can't open because it's no longer supported, but I guess it's fine as it's some kind of required animation. The real issue must be in the last file named "Traffic_Lights". Fairly simple code that makes me think the problem lies in the changed structure inside the game with the last update. So it could be just matter to point it in the right direction. But so far I've been unlucky. Cheers!

EDIT: as of Modpack #17, Ship Movement Indicator is back!!! Big thanks to Autospy & Aslain A big thanks to Aslain and all the authors for keeping up with WOWS short-term updating program!! Even more if considering not much help comes from the developers, I believe. Carousel is back!!! Albeit in a reduced way. Upgrades were really handy to glimpse at, and I don't know why Valera switched to signals as well. Ship Management is quite a piece of programming, but it's just too much with no options to enable/disable an excessive number of menus. Btw, I can confirm it still has a minor bug by which Bonuses can be set in there, but the full Bonuses Page is no longer accessible. Beside that, too bad it packs together with Improved Crew. I had to erase the proper files manually after installation. I guess all in all I favor those mods that let me see the (to me) essential info without digging in menus and sub-menus. Speaking of which, now the Tab with flags and camos has become really secondary and mostly irrelevant, but that's a WG problem I won't miss to let them know asap. After all my charade, the one thing I still miss is the Ship Movement Indicator mod. Any news on that or will it ever come back? Thanks again Asalin

Hello Aslain!! Carousel Extended is awesome!!! Yet one thing I'm missing is essentially the "Tiers & Nationality, etc." BAR disappearing when in special game modes other than Co-Op and Random. I understand that it applies the proper filters/restrictions beforehand. Still, for somebody like me with too many ships, it will be nice to access in the usual fastest way rather than having to click on the small greenish funnel on the left side. Thanks

What a pain in ass this whole flag issue that came back "actual"!!! Did you tell WG that, opposite to German Navy, the Rising Sun" is STILL the Ensign Flag of the Japanese Self-Defense Maritime to this day? Nevermind... 1) Thanks for the disco link but it doesn't work. Can you check it, please? 2) Am I correct by saying that modified flags are seen only by my client? 2) Alternatively I've saved from Res-Mods folder with your pack#5 the following: res_mods/gui/nation_flags & res_mods/content Is that all? I guess I can put them inside your Custom_Mods folder like I did wit my own RPF design, correct? 3) I've got inspired. But how do I handle the change of flags in some nations because their own historical changes? And is it possible to do it for every other nation as well? Thank you

Hello Aslain, Japanese flag has been removed since pack#7 and hasn't returned yet. Is there any technical issue?

First, thank you for the download. Could it then be possible to set a Default Setting? I see it already does something alike when re-installing the mod with clean (new) preferences.xml, but I'm not sure how it exactly works. Right now, on every new ship I get, there already applied a series of settings, always the same, but not alli I wished to have. It looks like Minimap creates on its own a Default status based on the first ship being costumized. If this could be updated somehow, that would be already a good thing

Hello Aslain, can you please forward this request to Autospy that I cannot contact myself since he's on the Russian forum and I'm on the EU one. I've read via Goggle Translate his post regarding restoring circles after patch 0.10.9, but on one side I can't download mm_cfg_recovery.zip archive, on the other side I would suggest a better idea also for the future: It would be great to have some way to program and store a DEFAULT SETTING to be used as starting point for further customization. Most of the changes are based on ship type: DD, CA, BB, CV, (SUB?). Being able to save a Default Profile for each type would be already great. It also could be done by having a button to "SAVE SETTING" on an external file so that we can create DEFAULT SETTINGS by type of ships (DD, CA, BB, CV) or even for a single ship. When needed a particular setting can be loaded and applied to a new similar ship. Many thanks

Hi Aslain, Mx Camo fixed with Modpack #5 Thank you a lot!!

Hello Aslain!! I've found another issue: the MX Camo. I've tried with both Modpack #3 & #4 and it's the same. The icons get installed but they do not replace the originals in the camo's tab. Thanks, Aslains_WoWs_Logs.zip

Yes I do Admin installations. That error is probably due to my naive attempt to "manually" integrate Carousel Filters within the res_mods folder; something that, as I found out later, was totally unnecessary since Carousel Extended has already all I need/want.

That's strange! I can confirm that mod was the issue. I had monitored the launching process in the Task Manager: it starts fine and load the first 1.8 - 1.9 GB into the RAM, then after about 40 seconds the CPU's usage % goes down to zero and it hangs there forever. Could it be its external database with (I believe) all the maps' names and coordinates of each cap? Maybe it has to do with a resolution setting. I'm running the game in Full Screen Windowed @ 1920x1200.

Found it!!! It's "Travel Time to Capture Point", a new mod I was hoping to test. Also I did realize I don't need the Carousel Filter. All is already in Carousel Extended. My bad 😜

Hello Aslain, I cannot load into the game with my selection of mods from your modpack. I did Check & Repair and I did try without mods and the game works. I'm attaching the Logs. In the meantime I'll try to nail down the culprit. Thanks, PS: You might notice I manually installed Carousel Filters along Car. Ext. but I've already checked it's not the one causing this. Aslains_WoWs_Logs.zip btw, using the first I found today aka modpack #3 clean install option always on!

Thank you again for your efforts

Same here! Any news? Also I'd like to have the option to install it along the "classic" Carousel Extended. Atm I've to perform 1 install, save the proper files, do another install and re-add the previously saved files. Thanks!!

It's all in the title, I see the Dog Tag of the sinker... And I see my own in the lower left corner once I'm dead. Thanks

Hi Aslain, just wondering what's the deal with these 2 mods. Apologies in advance if someone else already asked about Thank you very much!!

Aslaiin the Hero!!! Last night I've spent some 3 hours trying to "merge" the best of your Modpacks #3 and #4!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Hi Aslain, Dunno if it's the right place to post it, but could you please pass along also my impressions to Olin as such: Please don't start to screw up what's already perfect... exactly like WG. The whole purpose was to have access in "a blink of the eye" to all important stuff before hitting the Battle button too much in a rush: -signals -consumables -camos with modules and flags as a cool (but not strictly necessary) extras Now I'm supposed to navigate (or keep open) a series of menu that take a huge amount of real estate on my screen. And I don't consider 1920x1200 a small resolution... Beside, the Modules Menu might come handy just with Shimakaze and a few other ships. The Upgrades Menu is a redundancy as the mod "Valera" is better integrated and also still available in the Captain' Skills page So, nice try but I don't have use for this thing. I'd like to have back the former Carousel Extend. Thanks

Hi, I've also noticed that it doesn't show anymore what ships have torpedoes and what is their range, as it is clearly visible in your screenshots so I won't even upload mine.

Guys, I've been asking the same thing. Check my post: Indeed "Smoke Indicator" is the mod that causes the problem.

Good to know about the smoke indicator. I'll see if that changes something to me. Otherwise the other option to watch replays without mods, was something I had already considered and certainly will do. I just wanted to let you know about it. Maybe in the future, after WG itself addresses the issue of the dreadful current state about replays... Thank you

Hello Aslain, this one is actually kind of old since it did happens to me at least 5 months ago, but only now I did realize it was a mod's fault and not WG's doing. DESCRIPTION: since at least version 10.0 every time I see a replay my HUD interface is completely missing: - minimap - team and enemy lineups on the sides - OTM markers on the actual ships - aiming cross-air - cruise interface in the lower left - all icons of weapons and consumables in the lower center The only exception is Damage Meter. The shortcuts CTRL+J (or even the old CTRL+G) doesn't work as well as ESC to access the in-game preferences. So today I tried with res_mods folder removed and the HUD was back. Not all of it, but I could press ESC and access the setting whereas I could toggle on the last missing options like "Alternative Mode" and a few "Show" this or that. Please note that when I normally play the game, these options are already on, but it looks like that when I watch replays, the game uses a different Preferences file. Maybe also the mods are fine and just this file got corrupted. Thanks in advance for any insight about this mystery. Cheers Aslains_WoWs_Logs.zip

As soon as I posted on the EU forum, after positive check it was a mod, me and a bunch of others made trials on all the port mods. It was just matter of few restarts to narrow it down to CarExt. Since Aslain has not updated the ModPack yet, if any of you feel confident enough, you can get back CarExt with a manual installation: 1) Run the ModPack and re-install the bugged CarExt 2) The developer OlliN has fix it. Go here: https://forum.worldofwarships.eu/topic/119001-0103x-enderupl-port-interface-mod-modsapimodsinstaller/ 3) Download this from the first page of the post (scroll down a bit): 4) Replace all the appropriate files with those in your res_mod folder (check for the date: replace only those which date is today May 1st) 5) Enjoy!!!
