I have not been experiencing any problems. We will need your _Aslain_logs archive from your WoT folder in order to assist you though.

@FeralJim: I have never experienced any differences between installing them from Curse.com or Aslain's mod pack. If you are finding differences in the sound, that has something to do with the fact that you're installing into res/audio, rather than res_mods/0.9.2/audio. The other possibility is that Gnomefather recently released a hotfix for his mods that are included in curse but not the mod pack, or the other way around. Depends on who applies the hotfix first.

When manually installing sound mods, you should copy and paste your res/audio folder into res_mods/0.9.2/ in order to get the res_mods/0.9.2/audio folder. From there, any sound mods that you install should be placed into res_mods. Never add any mods into res/audio unless you know exactly what you're doing.

Also, CyberSpy is correct. Aslain's installer downloads compressed mods, and then extracts the contents into your Game Client. The full 400 MB is still being placed into your Game Folder, but Aslain's mod pack only has to download 150 MB or so during the downloading phase in order to lower the strain on your WiFi, as well as speed up downloading. After the .zip files are downloaded, Aslain's installer automatically extracts them into your Game Client, which is where they will take on their full size.

Sorry but you are incorrect. No penetration loss occurs within 0-100m, the penetration values are just randomized.

Starting from 100m though, you are correct (which is also what I stated).

 

As for reference, you can check the official WG wiki and the category penetration loss over distance, which can be found here: http://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Gunnery_%26_Armor_Penetration_(WoT)

I would want to think that this is very incorrect. Either that, or I've been out in the sun for a bit too long. I'll check this out in-game... I either need to slap the Wiki or slap myself.  :P

Usually I don't watch anime... I've watched some, but not much.

Don't quote me on that but it's probably only when they hit spaced armor, since they detonate on impact and the spaced armor is a little bit away from the actual armor.

Spaced armor causes an early detonation of the shells, but higher caliber ammunition still should have no trouble at doing some damage. It may increase the chances of a bounce, but it doesn't guarantee it. Also, chances are that it would say "critical hit" rather than "ricochet" when hitting spaced armor, since your shell technically detonated.

Your shells lose penetration power over distance. Almace is incorrect where he says "starting at 100m". Your shells begin to lose penetration at a continual rate from the very moment that they leave your barrel.

Also, the velocity and caliber of the shell are contributing factors in normalization. The higher caliber the shell is, and the faster it travels, the less penetration it will lose over distance.

As for Rickster's question, HE shells will bounce if they hit an amount of armor that is significantly greater than their penetration capabilities and caliber. Higher caliber HE shells will have lower chances of bouncing due to the sheer size of the shell.

For example, a T49's HE shells will bounce off of almost any target that has more than 50mm of armor due to the very small size (76mm) and low penetration values (38mm) of the shell. However, a KV-2's shell will practically never bounce off of any target that has below 300mm of armor. The KV-2's shell is a 152mm shell (absolutely massive in size), and has 86mm of penetration (one of the best HE penetration values in the game). This means that the KV-2 will do damage to every tank in the game, regardless of angle, except for the T95's gun mantle. The KV-2 still will do approximately 100-200 damage to a T95's front, and will only bounce 50% of the time off of the T95's gun mantle. The T49 would bounce off of even an M4 Sherman's front though.

The larger the shell and the more penetration power it has, the less likely it is to bounce.

It really depends on the day, I like relaxing and playing WoT, but I'd prefer hanging out with friends. But if the weather isn't too good, it's going to be a WoT filled day  :P

I'd prefer to be outdoors during the rain.  :P

Aslain was aware of this issue and has released a hot-fix of this issue. I believe that you simply need to download the latest version of the installer for the mod pack.

If that doesn't work, use Curse.com to manually download and install his sound mods.

Gnomefather's engines: http://www.curse.com/wot-mods/worldoftanks/gnomefathers-engines

Sometimes I will fire an APCR when I feel I am out numbered or about to be blitzed. It can cause them to hesitate and you can try and relocate. 

I only shoot APCR when I know that I will need it for sure. However, even if I'm being shot at by APCR, I won't back down. So I suppose it's based off of personal preference and experience.  ;)

Are you crazy? I should have said you can't bounty's on yourself and that a bounty is a bounty. If you get TKed, no matter if you win or lose, you still pay. XD. Too late now.

I put a bounty on myself on behalf of the thousands of pubbies that I've killed in cold blood whilst in my T49 and other tanks. They should be very happy to eliminate me after I've made them lose oh so many battles whilst on the other team. Of course, if they find me on my team... they have to be aware that they'll be knocking out the best player. So they need to be very careful...

I know how to set up my own bounty... I'm not crazy. Rather, I'm smart - You kill me, you might lose. If you lose the battle by killing me, it's your loss and you don't get the bounty money. If we win, you'll probably be dead by then; or I'll have too much HP for you to TK me.

You'll have to get lucky to hunt me down.. even if you were on each and every single one of my teams.  ;)

Sounds like Info Panel mod?

Aslain is correct. The Info Panel is currently in the mod pack under the "DLC" section, so you should be able to download it and enjoy the extra info.  ^_^

was getting kinda tired of the airplanes passing :D

Me too, very quickly.  :rolleyes:

I would like to express that you two are boring. How could you possibly get tired of that airplane?  :o

Hell. We might just start one here. :P The rules are simple:

1. You can't put up a bounty on the one who TK's you for a past bounty. (Past being in the last month or so) 

2. You can't put up a counter bounty (A bounty you place on the one who placed a bounty on you. After a month or so then you can.)

3. You have to post the snapshot/replay on here.

4. You fake a bounty or you would basically end up paying for yourself to be killed.

5. When you make a bounty, state the server, name, clan(if they have one plus rank), and what are you willing to pay.

 

Example:

 

Server:NA

Name: Scorpiany

Clan: ZDOS (Soldier)

Price: 3K gold (15$)

So if I made this bounty for myself, I would be asking for someone to TK me? And if they succeeded I would have to pay them 3k Gold?

And if I kill someone on a bounty list I get the Gold?

In that case, I'm setting up a bounty for myself. (Bounty below in the Quote)

Server: NA West

Username: Scorpiany

Clan: [ZDOS] (Soldier)

Bounty: Limited Edition "Holy [edited] Tanks" Desktop backdrop package

Additional Information: If you manage to find me on NA West and muster up the guts to TK me, I will send you a copy of a "Holy [edited] Tanks" Desktop background package. I have created this package for a special occasion, and I suppose this will be it.

Rules/Conditions: If Team Killing me loses the battle, you do not win the prize. We either must win, or there must have been no chance for me to carry the battle to victory. In addition, you may not cost me an Epic Medal or a Battle Hero. (such as team killing me right when I'm about to score my 10th kill)

Suggestions: Wait until the end of the battle to Team Kill me in order to ensure that you don't cost the team a potential victory. Trail nearby me if you can keep up, and wait for the right opportunity to secure the prize. Also, keep in mind that you'll usually find me in a Tier 2,5,6, or 10 tank.

Other: Yes, you will actually receive this reward for successfully Team Killing me. You will receive the prize within one week of your TK. You must send me a Private Message in-game or on the Forums after Team Killing me. Otherwise, I will think that you were simply trolling and move on. You must make me aware that you Team Killed me for this Bounty Hunt.

Have fun finding me.  ;) If no one manages to claim this prize before Christmas, then I will make other usage of it; and give it away for a different occasion.

You would definitely need to find a mod programmer in order to incorporate this into an actual modification. However, if you have any kind of Session Stats mod, you should easily be able to figure out the expected values... Also, use common sense. Tanks with more damage potential will have to do significantly more damage than their tank has HP, whilst low potential tanks might not even have to do their own HP in damage for "average" stats.

Well, according to

http://aslain.com/index.php?/topic/58-client-hangs-up-on-loading-screen/page-2

the issue could be resolved for that guy, running as Admin.

 

As for antivirus, some of the software is known to be overprotective and prevents certain files from being executed (usually the big stuff, which you pay lots of money for).

I would have to dig through the old forum, since I think there was a case like that once but I don't really feel like it.

It's easy enough to do and the last thing on your list anyway, if you're desperate.

 

So I still stand to those 2 options and it's worth trying as much as you can, before having to file a report and maybe wait for days to get it fixed, when you could have fixed it within minutes by yourself.

 

 

E: Fixed it, Grinch!

Double post, please Ignore.

is there a way i could use this mod pack to install vehicle sounds / gun sounds and hit sounds like there were in the last mod pack ... i will miss them very much :(

The sound files are back. They just needed some time to be updated. Install the latest version of Aslain's mod pack and you'll be able to play with those awesome sound mods again.  ^_^

Hi,

doesn't look like there is a general consensus about it. For some ppl it's fixed somehow (for unknown reasons), another person fixed hang-ups doing right-click > run as Admin on the game client and others don't report back for days.

 

So, I can't see consistency in there.

 

Since I can't confirm a lot of issues, I can also just say the same things if some unknown crash/hang-up/problem happen:

- try to use latest version of the installer

- always use clean-install at least (with the option in the installer)

- clean out DLC content and re-download it

- clear game cache (with the option in the installer)

- avoid using additional mods or at least use this installer here first > check if everything works > add another mod > check if it works still > and so on

- try using right-click > run as Admin on the installer and/or the game client

- try disabling your antivirus for the installation

 

The last 2 can be security risks for your system but since Aslain is an IT guy, it's fairly safe to assume that he doesn't spread infected files.

I still recommend that you don't do like online-banking and stuff, while antivirus is down and while playing WoT.  :rolleyes:

 

So if everything of the above fails, there's not much left but to report issues with the help of detailed information and the log files and wait and see, if they can be replicated and fixed.

Aslain did re-add Sword of Demonicles two days ago however, so if you install the latest version of the mod pack, you should be able to have it work properly. As for Sixth sense, I would also try a re-installation and make sure no mods are conflicting. Any issues with 6th sense definitely seem to be directly related to the other mods that you use. Try downloading the latest version of Aslain's mod pack, and both of these should be working assuming you don't mix sound mods, 6th sense mods, and crosshair mods of the same type.

So now I guess we'll have pomegranates, apricots, etc....in addition to limes, kiwis....lol

More fruits for my salad of WN8.  ^_^

if at all possible could you put a filter for the word rape, raping.etc.in chat mod. this is a very real problem and the worst crime out there. wot says it cant.

 

thank you.

If a mod like this were to be created, it should also block out the word "cancer"... too many people abuse it to describe arty and weak spots.

You can actually edit the paths.xml in the main WoT folder and delete line #54 with 

<Path>./res/packages/hangar_premium_WG_Bday.pkg</Path>

in order to make other hangars work.

 

E: I always recommend making a backup of game files anyway, before you edit them.

Always make a backup of the files if you're going to edit them. If you're in a hurry to get the BatCave hangar back, go ahead and do what Almace has suggested... otherwise, you will just have to wait until WarGaming's anniversary event is over.

Might also add the obvious SafeShot mod, since it's in Aslain's pack and greatly helps to avoid a lot of accidental team damage.

 

Personally, I don't have a use for it very often but it does happen to trigger every now and then.

What's more, it actually prevents you from rage-shooting others as well and displays a message in chat, that let's your allies know when they might be in the way of your shot.

So SafeShot does more than prevent you from shooting destroyed tanks? Interesting...

I am not allowed to use URL in signature block for some reason...says contact admin  I am new to forum, but I have made nice donation.. I thought I would get premium status and be able to add signature.

If you already donated, send a Private Message to Aslain and he will give you the Premium Forum User status.  :)

The bad thing is WotLabs has changed it to 11 steps :/ I'm not sure what to do with this, will be hard to find colors. Also the official color scale from labs looks terrible it the game (black font color anyone?).

 

 

11 steps? The more steps the better. Hey, scrubs who can't learn to play the game deserve to have their stats look terrible like that.  :P

Good stuff! ....

Please don't hesitate to clarify to people some more of those mostly overlooked and seemingly logical game mechanics.

Kudos to you mate.  ;)

Just trying to help out the WoT community.  ^_^

Good luck on the battlefield, tanker!
