Fixing domination filter, shorter crew buttons and new macros for VehicleStates

[Dumadidak 23]

Hello!

 

I'm writing this post/topic because I wanna say: Thank U XVM Team very much for making my dreams real.

 

3 years ago I had some little idea about locking gold with padlock near the numbers, and now U have done it!

There is a thread where I posted my idea (in the middle there is my post with gif file):

► HERE

 

I must say that Your padlock are much more beautiful than mine (I have a small excuse, that it was adjust for the really old version of the game :P)

I also tried to push WG to do something about it... but sadly ticket was not enough, however players from Poland liked this concept very much.

For me that was obvious that only XVM team could do that... Because it is not suitable for a WG... people can easily lose gold and free exp by accident... WG receives profits from this mistakes.

I'm glad that You at least and at last applied this little, but amazing feature!

I want to add that without your mods and features my garage couldn't look like this (I love it so much):

 

'DumadidakHangar'

 

 

However I still have some suggestions about possible changes [maybe some of them will appeal to You]:

1. Free experience padlock could be shifted by one pixel to the right :) (to be perfect)

 

2. The favourite tanks filter could be moved, because it's destroying the line of buttons ;)

 

3. It should be an option to enable/disable Icon and number of ppl at serwers (probably in config -> hangar.xc)

[My best friend man1aq_ told me that possibility of change coordinates of this could be nice. I agree.]

 

4. Icon of Increase Training Speed and Return Crew [btw it is next one brilliant idea of your team!] could be smaller without any text:

 

EDIT - added

▼

5. Filter clearing (disabling all) - tstng idea, but I think it could be useful (from THIS topic), I made this button... but it isn't nice for now...

I wish my little work could help U to improve xvm somehow.

 

No more words of gratitude! I love u guys :*


// gifs doesnt work any more :(

Thank you for interesting ideas. We'll implement some or all of them soon.

[man1aq 1]

I got two more suggestions/questions:

1. Is there any chance for fixing icon mirroring in training room? It's quite odd to me that you decided to leave it as it is.
2. Could you add suppport for custom backgrounds in battle loading and statisticform screens? I mean to alter this. It would be much easier to put altered images once in xvm config than messing with swf files after each patch or xvm update. Config part of this feature could look like this:
   

   ​{
     "battleLoading": {
       //Path to custom background image. Empty for default.
       "background": "xvm://../../../configs/xvm/man1aq_/img/battleloading.png"
     }
   }

 

3. It should be an option to enable/disable Icon and number of ppl at serwers (probably in config -> hangar.xc)

[My best friend man1aq_ told me that possibility of change coordinates of this could be nice. I agree.]

It would be great to have also a possibility to format this textfield (image with <img> tag etc.)

[Dumadidak 23]

Hello again :)

I will refresh this topic because there are new things to improve.


1. Possition of "domination" filter again is fucked up not accurate :P

Coordinates to fix it:
- First: 1px right and 1 px down (only checkbox)

- Second: all (domination picture + checkbox) 1 px right and 3 px down

Gif showing it:

 

 

2. I will try again, maybe it is stupid idea, but after 3 months I still like it very much :) I could prepare for You icons if You want but it is just example how could it look like :)

Shorter buttons:

 

 

3. Most important for me and biggest request :(

After some changes about ammo text, I can't use menu.mo to make some little mod, which I was doing from probably patch 8.6 (not that new icons bellow, but oldest version)??
I'm talking about icons instead of vehicleState text:

 

'Image'

 

You can see that, it is 'not good' for me to have this text instead of my icon :(
Of course that icons are in bad quality because I used menu.mo to put them into the TankCarousel it will be much better to put them from xvm.


This is the main request / suggestion:

Could You make macros for some vehicleStates from menu.mo which we could use in carousel.xc?


"statusText": { "visible": true, "dx": 0, "dy": -2, "alpha": 100, "scale": 1 },
This existing option will help to make extraFields with that kind of src-paths ("xvm://../../../configs/xvm/Dumadidak/img/{{vehicleStates}}.png")

To make it easier for You, I will write down values from menu.mo:

 

'List'

​"ammoNotFull"
tankCarousel/vehicleStates/ammoNotFull
tankCarousel/vehicleStates/ammoNotFullEvents

tankCarousel/vehicleStates/groupAmmoNotFull

 

"crewNotFull"

tankCarousel/vehicleStates/crewNotFull

tankCarousel/vehicleStates/group_is_not_ready_crewNotFull

 

"battle"
tankCarousel/vehicleStates/battle

"damaged"

tankCarousel/vehicleStates/damaged
tankCarousel/vehicleStates/destroyed
tankCarousel/vehicleStates/exploded

tankCarousel/vehicleStates/group_is_not_ready_broken

 

"inPrebattle"
tankCarousel/vehicleStates/inPrebattle

There is more in menu.mo but it isn't necessary. Main problem is about ammo, crew, battle, prebattle, and damaged.


I wish it is clear what I was trying to tell (sorry my English isn't perfect :P) that's why I also made pictures :)
With this little improvement it will be much easier to make carousel cleaner, and I will be grateful for that kind of feature in xvm :)


Greetings

P.S. Now I'm doing this like that:

'Image'

[OlliN 13]

For #3:

 

The entry you are looking for is in the XVM's l10n language file.

 

E.g. "lowAmmo": "<img src='img://gui/maps/icons/library/carousel/ammo.png' height='44' width='40'>", works like a charm

[Dumadidak 23]

I tried this section 2 patches ago or so, and it was't work for images :P

[sirmax 5,499]

1. Done

2. It is good idea, but not so easy to implement. May be later.

3. Fixed, now you can use images in the l10n file.

[Dumadidak 23]

Oh gosh! Thank You again SirMax :)

 

 

Now everything is all right!



Btw. I wish You know why I asked for macros "Tankstatus" because images are blurred when I'm putting them from l10n or menu.mo. In carousel.xc (by macros) it will be sharp like in original image. But for now it works good enough so thank You very very much! :)

Hello guys, I have next gently request for Your XVM team :)

Is it possible to add option like this: "showNewSkillValue" to hangar.xc?

It is so irritating, that there is no value near the "+".
WG disabled this numbers long time ago ~10 patches ago? And it will be awesome if You could bring it back?
Maybe it is also possible that this number will change colour when retrain to other tank will give 100% basic skill?

For example when I have 100 basic + 65 free new skill (I step) I can train crew to the other tank and they will have 100% basic skill (ofc with using 20k credits per tanker), and so on I wish it is understandable what I tried to tell You?

Maybe some image will help You:

Good idea

[GOOROO 3]

Dumadidak ,

Since I saw your post, was it last year or so i am using some of your carousel ideas! Only i can say is godo job!!

 

Is there a thread or something with your new carousel mod, or if you can post it here perhaps?

 

This is what i have so far:

 

 

thanks

[Dumadidak 23]

Wow!!! Man! <3 It is so sweet! :P

Ok to be serious: It is very kind to read messages like this! Thank You!

Probably I should try release DumadidakClearCarousel but for now I'm still waiting for XVM team will make new macros for carousel ("noAmmo" "CrewNotFull" "tankDamaged" "inPrebattle" "Battle" and etc.) and possibility to disable inscriptions in TankCarousel ("no ammo" text covering the tank) and text above the AmmoPanel (maybe it's not a big deal, but for me it destroy wiev).

Without this macros, it's not worth my work to post and take care about it... If you will look at my DCH mod (look at my signature), You will see that I take it very seriously and I'm always trying to support and listen users of DCH :) It takes a lot of time.

Part (see below) have to be done in menu.mo file... It is frustrating to make it over and over again. If I wish it worked for everyone, I would have to make a lot of menu.mo files - each for every language.

Greetings and maybe CY some day in the new topic at EN WoT forum "DumadidakClearCarousel" :)

[OlliN 13]

Does anyone know which SWF is responsible for displaying the 'vehicleStates' in the line above the carousel?

 

WG messed this line up for the new 'unsuitableToQueue' state, instead of store/vehicleStates/ they are using tankCarousel/vehicleStates/ and so it's not possible to use an icon with the method above for that specific entry.

[Dumadidak 23]

Hello!

It's again.... me! I will UP this topic again because I think making another one will make mess. It's good to have all suggestions in one.


New patch 9.15 brings new stuff to repair. So I have some suggestion, and maybe you SirMax, can spread it in your XVM team.

Is it possible to change/repair carousel filters?
I can't manage how to disable that ugly button. Any option "false" etc.. in carousel.xc doesn't work.

'Ugly button'

 

Maybe some of XVM crew could put filters to one pop up? For example something like that:

'Possible option'

 

For me (and I wish not only me) it is totally frustrating to see untidy buttons like this.

1. WG added irrational filter 'elite' instead of 'nonelite' (like in XVM mod) - maybe it should be change by XVM team?
2. In my opinion filters: |Standard vehilcle| and |With crew| are useless but ofc it could be option to disable it in carousel.xc like it was since 9.14.1.

3. I should add, that WG texts near checkboxes (premium and elite) are to high - 1px.

If only me have that kind of problem, pls help me out to disable 'ulgy' button from carousel I will be appreciate!

Greetings

You can disable the "ugly" button by setting "carousel"/"filters"/"prefs" to false.

Anyway it would be nice to implement at least "reserve" and "noenlite" filters into that new popup window as you suggested so we could get rid of that ugly button (it's really driving me crazy :) )

[Dumadidak 23]

Chainer! Thank you very much! This works fine = ugly button disappeared.

But yes, I missed filters:
- 'nonelite' (instead this irrational 'elite' filter)
- 'no master' (it is very very very useful for me)

- 'reserve' (also very useful)

I'm glad to hear that I'm not only one who thinks that it's really irritating :)

It'll be great if XVM team can do this.... WG, at last, changed WoT filters, so why don't tweak this up a little bit?

I wish I can do that, but I rather work with graphic or models than programming... I don't have specify knowledge to make it works.... That's why I posted this idea here.

 

Irreplaceable SirMax several times make my 'dreams' true, so maaaayyybeeeeee....... I have to be patient.

 

EDIT: Have I done something wrong? Hi, someone who dislikes my posts, could you give me a reason of doing that? My english suck, I know, but give me any rational reason pls. That text on a pillow is only for joke, not for putting pressure on XVM team. They are doing totaly awesome job, I'm far from standing over them with a whip....

This is already planned.
