Coloured kill messages clashes with minimap with ship names and damage counter (both use battle_elements.xml).

 

Result of using the 2 mods together you lose ship names on the minimap AND do not have any kill messages at all. Chose either but not both.

Well... downloaded new version, installed it and during installation (the "finishing installation"-part) it got stuck and my PC crashed to bluescreen (KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR). I restarted, tried again... same thing happend... and again.

So I tried to play warships with that 'maybe' still wrapped-up installation. Guess what:
My PC crashed again. Same in safe mode. Same after uninstalling Aslain. After 5 or 6 KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERRORs, my Bios told me, there was no bootable harddisk.
O_o

Seemingly my SATA-controllers were reset to RAID-mode... really weird. Guess one should not open random *.exe-files from the internet.

Never had that problem before but I will (if at all) try to manually install mods from now on.
Hope for Aslain and the rest, that it is just a glitch. But my system is still REALLY bugging out, now. Not cool!

I can assure you that the mod exe is ok. The error you had can be down to faulty/loose cabling to the drive(s) or even issues with the drive(s) themselves. I would say your issue was more coincidence rather than by the mod. To diagnose further we would need more details about your rig, have you moved it lately? Anyway, best to get your drives thoroughly checked and check the cabling. Good luck!

From looking up the Error, I kind of concluded the same. And since I like tinkering, I checked up everything. So my system is back running.

Even though I was hesitant, I tried re-installing yesterday's version of the mod-installer and it first froze and then killed my system again during the finishing part of the installation. Did not try today's version though.

Appreciate the work you guys do, but right now, I think, I'll rather wait.

Alright:

A little update: Loaded new (and overhauled) installer and it works like a charm. Seems much faster, too and does not freeze up on me. So, many thanks! :medal:

 

Minor complaints/hints:

-For some time now (till start of 0.5.6), the "kill sound" if u sink an enemy ship seems to sometimes disappear. Is/was that a known problem? Fixed in v7?

-Instead of the colored kill-messages (worked once and they are great) since 0.5.6.1 the messages are completely missing with some mod-combinations. Don't know, which. (Did NOT install to disable chat or sth like that)

-There are 2 mod-categories that activate the dmg-log. Monstrofil's player panels and the one under "Various mods" (both can be activated at once). Do they interfere with each other?

-Even though chose to see/hear preview, I cannot hear any sounds within the installer (afaik since version 4) even with some time to maybe buffer sound file

-If i choose "compact" or "full installation", no tickboxes seem activated? On purpose?

-"Tirpitz corrected"-camo never worked for me once. Because of Moebius_LW's camo-pack? (Edit: yupp!)

-with Monstrofil's panels, stats still only seem to show up once so often

-Team-loading screen seems to bug out, if players got a Rank from ranked games

 

Hope, that helps. If not, just gimme a PM and I'll stop reporting stuff like this.

Fair seas!

Regarding coloured kill messages mod, it conflicts with any mod that uses battle_elements.xml.

 

I have not examined every mod in detail yet but I can say that it conflicts with the below popular mods;

 

Player's Panel with HP bars + damage logs + stats (bt monstrofil) - (Works with the other Player Panels).

Damage counter + in battle clock

Damage counter + in battle clock + minimap ship names

Minimap with ship names

Minimap with ship names and damage log

 

Regarding sounds, I too do not hear the ship sunk sound (just see the icon appear) but to date cannot find what is conflicting with the sounds.

Hi,

How can I find the original file battle_layout.xml and his original path? Previously, it was in .../res/gui/ Now this directory is empty. Is WarGaming gives the files to modders? How can obtain them?

A lot of files are now packaged to enable faster loading.

 

The first pinned thread in Mods will supply you with a tool to preview and extract game files.

Thx a lot, mate! Appreciate your help.

Regarding the 'kill-sounds': I can live with that.

-But the missing kill-log is, especially during ranked games, a major thing. I think, since the new installer has a lot of improved in terms of giving feedback/suggestions/categorizing what mod-combo to take and what not, I'd include your info about those conflicting mods (and the result of a missing kill-log) to those infos

 

Enjoy the Sunday!

Hi,

 

is there a possibility to get this mod already opened? Like we mac-users can just drop the files in res-mods with WOT.

Would be cool.

coloured kill messages mod is sharing similar file, but I sorted it out long time ago, they work together in the modpack.

Strange as when I installed the two mods together (coloured kill messages and Damage counter + in battle clock + minimap ship names) I lost all kill messages and the damage totals. Will test yet again later.

 

[edit] With which mod did you edit the battle_elements file? Will check to see what I did wrong then.[/edit]

Coloured kill messages does conflict with Minimap with ship names & damage log as below;

Capture.PNG

No kill messages appear at all.

 

Regarding using coloured kill messages with Damage counter + in-battle clock + minimap ship names, whilst the coloured kill messages appear in battle chat, no ship names appear alongside players names in chat, not a deal breaker but I would miss that.

Not compatible with 0.5.7.0? My ships are some sort of screwed up graphics up side down in the port ... I hope an update will follow, cause it's a great modPack.

LOL! While I was typing, Aslain updated the mod. Great job and congratulations!

v5.7.0.00 (23-06-2016):

- initial version for WoWs 0.5.7.0

- temporary removed incompatible mods

- notice that Smoke Range mod is not compatible with zoom mods for now (need special update), don't install them together, otherwise you will get corrupted graphics (upside down etc.)

Old version of modpack is never comptible with future WG updates, never was, never will be.

Controller keys are changed with every new update. But for instance, if you use a zoom mod you can extract the new controller keys from the newly updated camerasConsumer.xml (after extracting it from res_packages). This of course would only be needed until Aslain gets the updated mods.
