SA server bot mod

[wganz]

The NA, North American, server players have access to the SA, South American, server. Due to the limited number of players on the SA server at Tier V and lower, there are bots inserted into the game. These bots are all named with a leading colon character ":" that is not permitted for human players. Therefore, the ability to distinguish from human or bot controlled tanks is already established. 

The mod that I am requesting is to color code the tanks to make this easier to differentiate. Especially, for us, 'older' players that don't see quite as well as we did about 40+ years ago. The same as on this web site, I have to hit the Ctl & + key combo to make it more readable. A suggested color scheme would be to have the enemy team's bot tanks the 'colorblind mode purple' and the human players be in 'red'; and the player's team bot tanks in green and the human players in 'gold'. These can be adjusted to compensate for those that truly need a colorblind mode.

I wonder if this could be added to XVM?  You might want to ask on the XVM English forums.

This is already possible with XVM as it is now (even if you are anonymized).  Just need to add the below definition to the playerspanel.xc file (in the def: section)

 

"BotMarker": {

      "enabled": true,

      "bindToIcon": false,

      "x": -1,

      "y": 0,

      "textFormat": { "font": "xvm", "color": "#DCDCDC", "bold": "false", "size": 20, "align": "left" },

      "format": "<font alpha='{{alive?#FF|#80}}'>{{name={{py:replace('{{name}}', ':', '')}}?|&#x72;}}</font>"

      },

 

Then add this to the extraFieldsLeft and extraFieldsRight sections in the individual players panel configuration files (i.e. short, medium, medium 2, large)

 

${"../playersPanel.xc": "def.BotMarker"},

 

Hope this helps.

Do you have replay from a battle with said bots?

Hi Aslain - I sent you a DM

The bots also have a badge of a tank next to them, which should be much more visible if your player panel settings are right

Just to clarify. 

Do I need to upload and post a link?
