Does anyone know how to edit the highlights of tanks?  I saw in a Quickybaby video that the highlight on enemies was much thicker than the default, so it must be editable.

I asked on the YT video comments, but he did not reply.  I'm old, with old eyes, so a brighter/thicker highlight would be helpful :)

Pretty sure you can as I've seen options for it in packs before.

Hi

 

Tweaking is fun. Next you might see that many mods like damagelogs et.c 

follows same principal. 

 

Keep your mods in a special folder according to updates. Organized is good.

 

If you put all your tweaks, icons, SWFs et.c inside correct foldertree beginning

with res_mods its gonna be easy to apply.

Just zip the foldertree and insert into  C:\Games\World_of_Tanks\Aslains_Custom_mods 

and Aslains installer will automatically replace them.

Didn't know that was even possible! Awesome, thank you :)

I dabbled in the editor but in the end just used Notepad++.  Then I found that XCMenu or XCPad (can't remember name, am at work right now) which is made to edit XVM files..it lists them all in the editor at once via filetree on the right.  Very nice app.  If only there was a visual representation when editing rather than having to restart game over and over.  Or if you could force WoT to reload the XVM files while in game, that would be nice..but not possible to my knowledge.

But it's workable ;)

Once I get this all set up Aslain is going to kindly add my settings to the installer RIGHT? LOL.  I mean, I donated twice after all! LOL.  I couldn't afford to do patreon though (We are financially struggling, business is about to go under :(

I'm kidding obviously, but when I install new modpack I can simply copy over my XVM settings files right?

You can use replays to test XVM settings if you have to.

Yay I finished. Still have to do the alternate mode (but I rarely use it) and some minor spacing tweaks..but it's a lot easier on my old man eyes now :P  Mostly just thicker HP bar, and tweaked font (Verdana instead of calibri) and sizes

Pic makes the OTM look a little fuzzy but in game is not fuzzy ;P

I'm using Yassen still, working no issues?

I changed height and it didn't seem to change in game.  XVM settings work in replays right?  I am using replays to test.  I put 40 on height and it didn't change.  In the markersAliveNormal file.  Using Notepad++

Ah, it worked now I must have mis-saved the first time.  

Just wish there was an editor so could makes changes on fly like used to could do.  Having to make change, then load game...very tedious.

So I got most things how I want, issue is the OTM reload timer is now overlapping the player name.  I didn't move those items UP though so not sure why?

Sweet!

I tried to start a Streaming channel but my internet just wasn't good enough so I gave up.

Good luck all :)

Perfect thanks, will work it out.

Just remember you have to adjust coordinates for every single information displayed over the hp bars too. Lots of work.

Yah, I am actually a web designer (or used to be) and have been involved in many modding communities before (Skyrim, Morrowind, Dragon Age, etc) so am familiar with XML and all that sorta jazz..just suck when it comes to modding with SWF and such.  Is why I never got into WoT modding much on my own and rather used your awesome pack ;)

I will look into it tonight :)

\res_mods\configs\xvm\Aslain\

 

Should work fine :)

Which file is the proper file?  I should have waited til I was at home to ask, since I can't actually look at anything at work =D

It seems like I tried to edit the config files there before and it wouldn't work.  It's been some time ago though.  I tried using that online XVM editor but I think it's old and outdated and no longer works.

How is Windows 10 anyways?  I hate 8 so still on 7..

Leave it to Microsoft to break something as simple as not including past fonts from Windows 7.  This means apparently that some mods use default Windows 7 fonts that are now missing in Windows 10.

I switched back to Standard the other night and noticed my gaming experienced improved greatly.

Yeah it's ugly as @)#*(()*% (not that improved is pretty anyways) but much less stutter and poor performance.  

I use Aslain's set-up and have for a long time, and cannot even play the game without it.

One thing I have never particularly liked is the tiny HP bars and always wanted to slightly edit them.  I have tried using XVM editor and such but never had luck getting it to work.

Is it possible to edit the XVM stuff (fonts, spacing, etc) of the default config with your pack Aslain?

Which file to edit and is there a specific procedure involved?  I can seem to edit a default XVM install but not when using your mod pack (I guess it uses different config files)

I searched the forum first, didn't see it...

No worries I didn't mean it to sound rude :)

Thats autoaim indicator+

Ohh right..I get those all mixed up :) Thanks sir.

Topic about this all over the forums.  Just update to latest Aslain's it's been updated already.

Thanks :) I missed it in that changelog :P

I won't play without auto-aim extended (if that's the one allowing lock on right click to nearest target) because I am a spoiled brat.

I must have missed something, why are spoter mods removed?

Odd as this mod worked fine for me all night last night.

I did have an odd horrible play/losing streak..but that's irrelevant (just felt like ranting lol)

Hey all, been playing WoT for years, and am utterly sick of this piece of crap game engine that last night I raged so hard.  I have a constantly upgraded and kept new high end PC and WoT is the worst performing game that I own...including current AAA games that are out!

This is separate from the crappy servers that they use and just related to the graphics/game engine alone.

Just curious who uses Improved graphics mode, and who uses standard, and what your experience is like.

For me I can pull 60 FPS but it often chugs and gets very choppy because of the engine.  Some maps it dips to 50 but feels more like 20 as it chops around.  I finally switched back to Standard mode (because it runs better, although it still sucks) after having originally used Standard mode for a long time, before switching to the Improved mode.

Share your experience and computer specs - I am just trying to collect data.  Probably better served on the WoT forums but I wanted to share here on Aslain's first ;)

Thanks in advance.

It would be nice if there was a reload timer in the mod pack that worked.

Entitled much?

Try reading this thread for very reason why the mod stopped working..plus this happens once a month with this mod developer..

Yup.  No worries on my end.  =D

First of all: The reload OTM timer isn't illegal. (See: http://ritastatusreport.blogspot.dk/2015/03/reload-timer-mod-is-legal-on-us-server.html )

It doesn't show the EXACT reload time.

 

Second of all: 4wot side, is the old version, from May.

Blackwot site is the same as from the official page... same "Demo/Time limited".

 

Third of all: A skilled player can clearly hear when someone fires, and can move out to shoot back at him.

A skilled player has a rough idea of the reload time on most tanks they meet frequently.

Yeah, I read a post on official forums about this not being illegal.  Since it doesn't take into account rammers and other such things and is only a base count..

I would consider myself an averagely skilled player, and yeah I can see/hear a gun fire but the problem is when fighting a bunch of tanks at once, with my old brain, it can be hard to keep up.  The OTM Timer really helps..lol  :)
