This mod sounds cool. Altought I never had the neccesity to demount all flags from a ship...
HOWEVER I would love a mod which would check on all the flags of my ships to make sure the option "Purchase with money if not available" (that option where you end spending doubloons if you don't have flags in reserve) is off on all of them.

[lovelacebeer]

If only WG could do this on their own but hey maybe they will adopt this mod into the game proper. 

 

Such a demount would be very handy when im completing a mission quickly in scenario or co op 

[Odo_Toothless]

Now we are waiting for a mod for remount of previously demounted signals. The only way WG would have will to do such "improvements" is monetize them by selling in a premium shop. It's sad, but true.

 

Anyway this mod was not made in one day. It has almost 110.000 ??! (yes - 110 thousends) of lines and warning of decompilation I have never seen before. Here is source of this script in .txt file. Unpacked is 4.5 MB of text ... demount_signals.zip

Probably it is modded original WG code from another file, so it is so long ?

It can be very useful in certain situations. For example if you want to grind the 15 wins in Co-op for legendary modules and don't want to waste flags for this as it doesn't matter in Co-op. Also next months it will be most likely very useful when WoWs celebrate anniversary and they stick to the 1 Supercontainer per tier 10 ship in port. We have to play the ship to receive the SC and the fastest way is to play a Co-op game. Now imagine you want to do this with 18 or more tier 10 ships in Co-op. That would be a lot of wasted flags or a lot of clicking to demount all flags first. It's a niche-Mod that can be very handy.

I understand the purpose but I believe there are more important things to implement in UI (automatic opening of pre selected rewards for me that would be so much more useful. So I do not have to watch an animation of resource box being delivered and click one more time to open it).

 

I am not using mods so, it makes no difference to me, but job well done deserve to be recognized, thumbs up for the modder.

[Blixies]

As much as I like it, until it's a part of mod station, I'm not touching it.

Somethjng wrong in the code???

[FishDogFoodShack]

Unfortunately, now that there is a mod that does it WG will feel even less a reason to do it themselves properly.

Flag profiles.

More to the point, saveable ship profiles.

You know? Like even the Windows desktop has been having for a few decades. And as I'm writing this, I can't believe I'm using a Micro$oft product as a reference for anything.

When a "demount all button" is pretty much a big milestone for an interface. Tells you about the state of it. It´s a joke that we still have to endure this mess and the latest "improvments" are just masking all the flaws the UI has.

wouldn't surprise me if wg banned people using this mod even though it does nothing to help your gameplay

I only run wg legal mods and mostly only once the new patches have been released for a day or so to make sure the problems have been sorted

[biker_618]

Ok, modder had a good idea and knowledge how to make it done, so, what`s the problem with that?

 

OP not understanding that games with active modder community is a win/win situation because players can have useful feature, content, or whatever while developer can spend resources on something else.

 

Yep, bad WG ...

So it's 'less than zero'. Are we talking about Kelvin territory?

 I am not an expert. I use that decompiling program from two years and first time I see such warning message - just saying. Probably everything is ok, but this should be clarified by mod maker.

 

->It would be the best idea, but I am realistic in expectactions. I bet It would not happen soon, if at all.

It's not all merely masking. The contact list now doesn't take several MINUTES to open and is kinda instantaneously, just to give an example

I once did a test on demounting the flags.

 

Eight flags took 40 seconds and 16 clicks meaning that it takes 2.5 seconds to demount one flag. Not bad in it self but imagine doing it a couple of hundred times and the time starts stacking up and the wear on the mouse as well.

I remember a video by Quickybaby after he did a missionmarathon in WoT. He ran the numbers and found out that he had spent 4.5 hours just waiting for the matches to start during the marathon. The seconds stack up…..

Same thing if you need to re-mount the flags.... 

 

We had some games that I modded, with a group of other guys. 

It was a racing game and we modified new tracks, new cars and cars + tracks from other games in it. 

In the end we even modded our own new tracks and cars from scratch. Also re-done the user interface. 

 

The thing is, once you have such things happening it means lots of other things can get modded, too. 

That may be a good thing or a bad thing - depending on the one that mods it and the ones using it.

YEs because a multi millionaire games tech corp shouldnt be blasted for failing to inplement basic features that should of been in their games from day one.

 

i know, its hard to be competent at your job when you have too much monies but that doesnt excuse them at all.

[Shaka_D]

It's a relatively simple yet critical addition to the game which does away with the very fiddly nature of adding and removing individual flags from numerous ships, especially when you have so many ships in your port. It's a nice feature to have and those not in favour do not have to use it, but my bet is those who advocate so loudly against this brilliant, far overdue feature will no doubt use it, and I bet quite a lot.

 

I myself am hugely surprised WG have not implemented this feature yet, it's actually a massive oversight on their part if you ask me and almost unforgivable. WG are not by any means a small company, nor are they incapable of this. I suggest people look past their fanboy-based bias and look at this very practically. I want to spend more time in battle, not freakin clicking buttons demounting signal flag after signal flag one at a time.

Multi millionaire tech corp gave you option to play game for free legally and you are still complaining?

 

If we talk about P2P game, i would understand your stance, but not for game where your choice mean only additional content, not game by itself.

 

On the other hand I`ve seen a lot of games become better or staying alive because of mod community and some modders to become a part of development teams.

 

If you think that this is wrong, NHF but you are fresh gamer.

Yeah they're doing all this out of the kindness of their hearts really.
