Are there mods that can modify the garage this much? (lots'o pics and rage)
I hope WoT Reddit doesn't hate my out-of-the-box thinking :< I am a newblette, and I like to break the mold.
Anywho, let's make the garage better or different with mods. If the following suggestions exist, pass me a link to them and hopefully they aren't all XVM °Д°
(1440 x 900 res pics)
If the following can be fixed with increasing the box sizes and text sizes, please tell me how to modify the files that are used in-game.
General Garage
This stupid garage is still "cluttered" with links that are doubled, or just outright hidden, like the Service Record and your Username pull-down both leading to the same place, the Mission radio being shoved up in the upper left corner instead of anywhere else. Really WG, like really? :< "Reworked. Working as intended(c)" my big fat, douchbag az.
I've installed a clock mod (AntonVK Clock and calculator) and moved it's position to the upper left under the Settings gear. It came with a red banner that highlighted the clock numbers. I don't know anything about coding, so i couldn't make a duplicate of this banner to place behind the Tank name above the Tank stats to the right of the hangar.
The Tank name placement itself if questionable...it could have gone under the Battle button and Tab ribbon but it wasn't.
Tank Carousel
The frikkin carousel. We need a better one WG. Please? Multilined TankCarousel for 0.9.3 by 4lCapwn and CS2001 seems easy enough to implement in game. This mod is great, but you can scroll to infinity if you're not careful. You can adjust the text size, the daily multiplier text size, the tank slot size, how many rows are visible at once, even what organizing parameters (like prem tanks only, or only tiers 1 or 4, only germans, or only meds, and ANY COMBO OF THE ABOVE °Д°).
General Text Size for Large Monitors
I'm a student, not even middle class in the USA (I buy a lot of second-hand things), yet I own and use a 22" monitor capable of 1440 x 900 resolution (720p). The default text in-game is FOKKIN BRUTALLY TINY!!! I understand that most of WG's users are Russo and its satellite countries, but holy frikkin cow...use your localizers to up the text size in other regions...°Д°
I used ProgressIndicatorTextMod to increase the text size up in the above pics. I doubt, however, that even people with 13" to 16" monitors can even read the default WG text (the criminal pixelation). What about the people with Dyslexia?
The Settings Window
The stupid thing now blacks out your screen. Why? And why place the Server selection there? Like, seriously...point me in the direction you guys were hoping to go...SERIOUSLY.
Also, text size...this problem is huge...it really is :<
Crew Information and Tank Information
It offers no information that I want when I'm uber-grinding xp to level up my crew. I wanna at least have a visual representation of how much xp my crew member has at the moment of mouse over or right-click. Make us GRIND to the next level by enticing us to do so :<
9.1? Tank Stats, by Farticox-wot forums
I miss the Effective stats introduced in 9.1, 9.2. Don't know why we couldn't have a check box in the Settings to have them on/off. I like seeing my Centurion 7/1's "actual viewrange," makes me feel CONFIDENT to go out and spot for my base-campers.
Please, someone, bring these back...please.
Dat Battle Wait Screen 0_o
9.3 Battle Wait Screen It, is, bare. They removed the Mission radio and tips(?). empty space...can't even turn and see your frikkin tank in all its (HD) glory.
My Hopeful fixes
Crew Info
When you mouse over a crew member, blam:
Please someone, make that second one and I'll lop off my crotch and never again have children. It only makes sense to give someone the feeling of PROGRESSION ... it only makes sense...
General Garage
Please Please, someone, MAKE THIS A REALITY...please? :'< The Server name and Disconnect are in a drop-down in the upper left of the screen, by the Settings gear. It feels so natural...so frikkin natural.
Why have redundant buttons, why....WHY? Why keep your fan base in the dark about where they are in the server cluster, how many are in the cluster? Why force their screen dark to switch servers and disconnect? Why? :<
Battle Wait Screen
It is cluttered, but I KNOW WHAT I'M GRINDING FOR and it makes me feel like a lion on the prowl...knowing is half the frikkin battle :/
Thus concludes my wishlist and hopeful thoughts on the mess that is Patch 9.xx in general :D How about you guys at WG HQ actually compile the Test Server code and not the ex-live server code? :< It only makes sense.
Teach me how to mod .swf's and .xml files if you guys wanna be douchbags and hate...I personally think people wanna have a Functionally Laid out garage and not a hindering multitude of buttons and text. Le sigh :<
