[0.8.5] AFR - Annoying Features Remover

RelicShadow's Photo RelicShadow 08 May 2012

AFR is just a simple collection of mods that get rid of some of the very annoying "features" this game has to offer.
More information after the break.

******************************************************
Description:
Transparent Clan Logos:
This mod will make clan logos transparent for all tanks.
No more tiny icons messing up with your skins.

Transparent Nation Decals, Stickers & Inscriptions:
This mod will make all of the nation decals, stickers and inscriptions transparent.

Transparent Camouflage:
Plenty of these around, but have my own version, because why not.
Comes in both camo pattern varient, in case you want to make a particular camo pattern transparent, and in tank by tank format, in case you want to pick and choose what tanks have and don't have camo.

Silenced Annoying Sounds:
This mod removes the "sonar" noise you get each time an enemy is spotted. (testing WOB content in WOT ftw)


Download:
[0.8.5] Transparent Clan Logos (v1.6.4)
[0.8.5] Transparent Nation Decals, Stickers & Inscriptions (v1.3)
[0.8.5] Transparent Camouflage (by camo pattern) (v1.0)
[0.8.5] Transparent Camouflage (by tank) (v1.0.1)
[0.8.5] Silenced Annoying Sounds (v1.1.2)


Install:
Make sure the client version folder (the one inside the res_mods) matches the current one (check inside the res_mods folder in your WOT main dir).
If there's no changes to the mods between client versions, odds are I did not rename that folder.

Then simply extract the res_mods folder contained within the archive into your WOT main directory.

You can also use JSGME, it's already packed accordingly.


Bug Reporting:
Sometimes I miss a few tanks, and that may cause your client to hang while loading the battle. I do apologise for this but we are all human, mistakes will happen eventually.
If you wish to help, enabling replays is a good way for me to figure out what tank is causing the issue.

If you client hangs while loading a battle, quit (or close it via the task manager). Once outside disable the mod, and reconnect.
Your client will load the battle as normal, and if you have replays enabled it will start recording the battle.
Once you're done, upload the replay to a file sharing website and send me the link.


How to tailor the Transparent Nation Decals, Stickers & Inscriptions mod to suit your needs:

Go to "{mod name here}\res_mods\0.8.5\gui\maps\vehicles\decals"
Here you will find eight dds files and two folders, named player_stickers and inscriptions.

    • The eight .dds files make the nation decals transparent.
    • The stuff inside the inscriptions folder makes the ... yeah you guessed it, makes the inscriptions transparent.
    • Take a wild guess as to what the player_stickers folder does.

If you want the original nation decals, just delete the eight .dds files. Same process applies to the player_stickers and inscriptions folders.
Mix and match depending on what you want.



Credits:
  • Thanks to llVIU for taking the time to update the transparent clan logos.

Enjoy and have fun.

I heared that spotting sound on testserver... but I'm lucky to have my sound mods on... no sonar for me. :)
The clan logos are small enuff not to bother me on the skins.

Some clan guys who are upset someone doesn't like to see their logos? :huh:

Cheers! :Smile_honoring:

Thanks a lot for your great work. :Smile_honoring:

This is exactly what I need to get rid of some weird and silly looking logos that destroy the atmosphere of the battlefield. Yesterday, had to fight a Type59 with a clan logo showing a guy with base-cap wearing sun glasses. Oh my god.....

Removing the spotting sound is the greatest mod I have ever heard of! That annoying sound kept me from entering many battles today, mainly because it caused me headache last night.

Good job on removing the Clan logos, Relic. +1, I'd give +10 if I could.

Clan logos are nice for the people in a clan, for everyone else they are are badly drawn grafitti crapping up the look of the game.

With this mod, good riddance to them.

Seems to freeze my client when logging out. Have to shut it down with Task Manager.

Not sure why that would happen, seems to work fine here. And nothing was changed that would keep the client on loop.

It's pretty weird to me too, there's nothing in it which could cause such behaviour. I'm pretty sure it's this however - after deleting the files everything came back to normal.

Worked fine for me on the EU client and the US client. Blocked Clan Logos as intended and both clients exited properly too.

Accidentally, to whoever is being a smartass and neg repping people on the topic, just don't.

You have a problem with the mod, neg rep me, not the others.

Picked up 2 vehicles who fell through the cracks and didn't have the icons disabled (Grille and Hummel).

Corrected now, and a new version has been uploaded.
