Clock and Tier questions

[GaussDeath 0]

1) I just got the basic XVM download (5.3.4) and noticed a clock in the top left corner of the game. How do I remove it? I found the method to change the format in the battle.xc file but nothing to turn it off. 

 

2) I like the new layout (compared to default) for the icons above the tanks but it is missing the tier. How do I add the tier icon back in?

 

Thank you for your time.

I found the method to change the format in the battle.xc file but nothing to turn it off.

From readme-en.txt

    If you want special settings, you need to rename boot config file:
      \res_mods\xvm\configs\xvm.xc.sample to xvm.xc
    Instructions for setting it up are inside.

    All possible config options you can see in
      \res_mods\xvm\configs\@Default\

a clock in the top left corner of the game. How do I remove it?

 

battle.xc:

// Format of clock on the Debug Panel (near FPS).
    // Формат часов на экране панели отладки (возле FPS).
    "clockFormat": "H:N", // delete H:N

to get this

"clockFormat": "",

 but it is missing the tier.

make a screenshot..

Thank you, the clock is now gone. :)

 

Regarding the tier indicator, here is what I see right now: 

 

 

And here is the image of the settings (which I originally had pre-XVM) showing the tank icon with the tier on it. 

 

 

I would like to get the tank+tier icon back or barring that any indication of the tier. 

 

Again, thank you for your time.

Check markersAliveNormal.xc file in your config folder for that sections:

Thank you for your help. I was able to activate the contour icon and the tier then move the tier on top of the contour icon (it seems they are two separate elements). However, the contour icon only shows up grey so I decided I didn't need it (just the tier is fine).

Did you try to edit this section

// Color intensity from 0 to 100. The default is 0 (off).
      // Интенсивность цвета от 0 до 100. По умолчанию 0, т.е. выключено.
      "amount": 0

?

No, I thought that was more like brightness than color. I will check that out, thank you.

If you want to switch back to vanilla OTM, you can still do this with:

 

"useStandardMarkers": true,

and this will disable xvm markers; you will be able to configure them ingame like before.
