Help or issue with Enemy spot markers


Recommended Posts

I can get the enemy spot marker "Eye" but not the "bulb #3" (default XVM) and have not tried the other markers. 

I tried unchecking "Display XMQP markers" [PP] but still don't display.  XMQP is checked on XVM settings on web site.

 

Not sure if its a bug or I'm doing something wrong.

I removed the fonts as you said, I moved them to a "temp dir" and reinstalled the mod pack. I selected the bulb icon I wanted but go only the colors (yellow,grey,and white) in small rectangles but no bulb. I checked the Windows/fonts and one was replaced, the XVMSymbol_22.0.ttf so I played a few more rounds not knowing if XVM might download what else was needed but did not. I viewed the true type fonts and the 22.0,17.0, and 11.1 showed the bulb font so I'm not sure why its not working. I went back to the eye for now.

You need to go to the fonts folder from windows. The XVM fonts are contained in it. By default it is C:\Windows\Fonts

Find the XVM fonts in that folder and delete them, then reinstall the modpack.

 

I only had those files (XVM*.ttf) I posted in the pic in the Windows/Font dir there was no XVM sub-dir in the Windows/Font.

When you see suares instead of text then it's always fonts issue. Focus on fonts in the system.

 

I checked my C:\Windows dir.  along with the System and System32 and Program Data Dir's. My Windows 8.1 id installed on C drive and Games on D drive.

I looked through the D:\Games\World_of_Tanks\res_mods\9.15.0.1\system\fonts  but never seen anything ref: XVM or any sub folders in the Fonts. (if not here in Games Dir where might it be?)

I tried a few re-installs of the mod pack and was able to get "Eye" and "Asterisk" but not the Bulb #3 I want to use, I never tried the other two bulbs.

 

I always choose the "Clean" install, should I check any of the three boxes as well? And in selecting the Bulb #3 (default XVM) should the Display XMQP markers [PP] be checked or unchecked? and / or a clean install of WoT help.

Unfortunately XMQP markers are also based on XVM font.

 

I have a partial solution for you.

 

Edit texts.xc,

 

Replace this:

 

    "spotted": {
      "neverSeen": "<font face='xvm' color='#999999' size='23'>&#x70;</font>",
      "lost": "<font face='xvm' size='23'>&#x70;</font>",
      "spotted": "<font face='xvm' color='#FFAF00' size='23'>&#x70;</font>",
      "dead": "",
      "neverSeen_arty": "<font face='xvm' color='#999999' size='23'>&#x70;</font>",
      "lost_arty": "<font face='xvm' size='23'>&#x70;</font>",
      "spotted_arty": "<font face='xvm' color='#FFAF00' size='23'>&#x70;</font>",
      "dead_arty": ""
    }

 

 

With this:

 

    "spotted": {
      "neverSeen": "<font face='XVMSymbol' color='#999999' size='23'>p</font>",
      "lost": "<font face='XVMSymbol' size='23'>p</font>",
      "spotted": "<font face='XVMSymbol' color='#FFAF00' size='23'>p</font>",
      "dead": "",
      "neverSeen_arty": "<font face='XVMSymbol' color='#999999' size='23'>p</font>",
      "lost_arty": "<font face='XVMSymbol' size='23'>p</font>",
      "spotted_arty": "<font face='XVMSymbol' color='#FFAF00' size='23'>p</font>",
      "dead_arty": ""
    }

That did work.

Thanks

 

In the lines  "<font face='xvm' color=  is this using the C:\Windows\Fonts XVM.ttf file or to direct to another font file? When I view the file most of the icons are not there, only tank class icons.

I keep looking for this option and I can't seem to find it anymore. The mod of having an eye marker beside player name when they are spotted. There was 2 colors, red for spotted and green for spotted and being in view. Can anyone guide me to find this mod ?

There is no such option currenlty you can only enable and disable it as whole.

 

Will re-introduce it later.
