Mod to remap Tank names


t0ncul

Recommended Posts

I think a mod that remaps those new tanks names like 'Forest Spirit' to SU-130 PM and others like 'Mars' and so on would be nice.

In a few months we will have a lot of 'new' premium tanks with fancy names and ordinary players like me know sh*t what this tank is.

Perhaps in the future we will also have 'Mickey Mouse" and 'Winnie the pooh', WG's greed for money is getting more and more ridiculous.

Can be done in XVM, in this file: vehicleNames.xc

Good hint, but there is neither 'Forest Spirit' nor 'Iron Arnie' nor 'Mars' etc. to find.
When you search for names like 'Forest Spirit' or 'Iron Arnie' one can see that these names occur only in files in directory G:\Games\World_of_Tanks_EU\res\text\lc_messages

But these files are in binary format as in 'usa_vehicles.mo' and 'ussr_vehicles.mo', so apparently hard coded or am I wrong?

The creators of XVM are slow with updating this config, but you can always add this tank manually there, and define new name for it.

 

Indeed, you can also edit localization files and change tank names there, in theory should work, but it's much easier to use the method I described earlier, well if you use XVM that is.

 

Added tanks you mentioned, I don't know "etc" tanks, so I only added those you named.

 

Mars:

    "italy-It13_Progetto_M35_mod_46_LE":       {"name": null, "short": null},

 

Iron Arnie:

    "usa-A152_M_Project":                      {"name": null, "short": null},

 

Forest Spirit:

    "ussr-R159_SU_130PM_DR":                   {"name": null, "short": null}

 

so i.e. rename to:

 

    "ussr-R159_SU_130PM_DR":                   {"name": "SU-130PM", "short": "SU-130PM"}

Thank you very much. How did you find the exact names on the left side?

There are probably easier methods, but I just launched the app that I use to create contour icons (Tank Icon Maker), and it can display tank name used in the code of game.

Do you know any other source for this program because the original is discontinued and the download doesn't work.

GitHub is not in my humble possibilities as I don't know how to create a running program from the sources.

Yeah I know it's confusing, but the link is there, I will re-pase it here:
