Which file is responsible for the reindeer meter. Setting up XVM or the secrets of the reindeer keeper. How to use standard client tokens

In this article I will try to answer all the most common questions regarding the most popular World of Tanks mod - aka the reindeer herder. This article was created for lazy people who have no idea that the mod's config, namely the XVM.xvmconf file, contains all the settings with developer comments in Russian. For all more or less competent users, the previous sentence is enough to set everything up yourself. For everyone else... well, read on.

At the end of the article, watch a great video about the XVM mod!

This article is more about manually setting up the XVM mod. If you don’t want to do this, you don’t want to understand the structure of the config, then you can use . It is very convenient and will allow you to customize the deer gauge to your needs and immediately see the result without having to start the game.

By the way, even if you create your config manually, I recommend loading it first into the visual editor to check the display of all elements.

To begin with, a small educational program for everyone who does not understand the essence of the mod.

XVM is an abbreviation for e x tended v visualization m od, it is also called the extended combat interface mod. It essentially combines several modifications included in one large assembly, controlled by one config.

The mod stemmed from another, no less popular modification - OTM, also known as over target markers. This mod allowed you to create your own tank markers and was notable for showing damage dealt to tanks. Then, in one of the patches, such an opportunity was introduced into the game client, and many players no longer needed to cancel.

However, the mod continued its development and eventually turned into something more than just a mod.

To date, XVM combines the following features:

• combat statistics and player rating, also known as reindeer meter (feature only available with xvm-stat);
• displaying the chances of winning;
• markers over tanks (OTM mentioned above);
• disable the death panel;
• control of mirroring of equipment icons;
• icons of players and clans;
• clock on the battle loading screen;
• equipment icon sets;
• ear control - transparency, width, content;
• extended minimap with vehicle names and last light memory function;
• alternative swath;
• log of damage dealt to you.

Tweaking XVM

Next, we proceed to the answers to the most frequent questions of tankers. In order to enable or disable any option of the mod, you need to learn how to understand and edit the configuration files. For editing, you can use the standard notepad that comes with Windows, but I recommend you a professional and free program.

All configuration files are located here: World_of_Tanks\res_mods\xvm\configs\@Default

You must rename the file for the changes to take effect. xvm.xc.sample v xvm.xc. This file is located here: World_of_Tanks\res_mods\xvm

How to turn on the chance to win?

Important, this option works in the full version of the deer meter when the game is launched via xvm-stat.exe. In battleLoading.xc we are looking for the text:

"showChances":

And we change wherever we find the parameter from false to true, so that it turns out like this:

"showChances": true

How to turn on the damage log?

All in the same hitLog.xc we are looking for the line:

hitlog:

You will need to edit what is between the curly braces ( ). Below is a description of some of the damage log settings:

• "visible": true, - switch to enable or disable the log. false - disabled.
• "x": - numeric value, indicates the horizontal position of the log. Negative values ​​will snap to the right side of the screen. I recommend the value "285".
• "y": - the same as the previous item, but vertically. I recommend the value "6".
• "w": - block width in pixels.
• "h": - block height.
• "lines": - number of lines. Outdated data is pushed out.
• "direction": - is either down or up. Specifies the direction in which the data is pushed.
• "insertOrder": - end or begin, defines where new lines appear.
• "groupHitsByPlayer": - combine data by player's nickname.

Below are the substitution macros that are responsible for the appearance of the log. You can customize element colors, text, size, and more.

For clarity, here is a piece of the hit log config, which is used in the modo assembly from our site:

// Hit log (counter of own hits)
"hitlog" :(
"x": 285
"formatHeader": " Damage: ((dmg-total)) Penetration: ((n)) Last: ((dmg)) (((vehicle)))",
"y": 6
"formatHistory": " ×((n-player)):((dmg-player)) (((vehicle))) - ((name)) ((clan)) ((dead))",
"visible": true
"direction": "down",
lines: 6
shadow: (
size: 1.6
"color": "0x000000",
"strength": 100
distance: 0
angle: 45
alpha: 100
},
"h": 300
"insertOrder": "begin",
"groupHitsByPlayer": true,
"deadMarker": " N",
"blowupMarker": " M",
w: 500
"defaultHeader": " Haven't hit yet"
},

How to enable extended minimap?

The expanded XVM minimap displays tank models right on the map. This will allow you to better assess the situation of the battle. Another feature is that such a map remembers the last place where the enemy was seen and marks it on the map. Something like this:

To enable such a map, look in the minimap.xc file:

"minimap":

A little lower, look for the line "enabled": and change the value to true so that it turns out like this:

"enabled": true

How to disable mirroring of tank icons?

In battle.xc file:

"mirroredVehicleIcons":

Change it to false so it looks like this:

"mirroredVehicleIcons": false,

How to remove the ear mode switch with a mouse?

In the file battle.xc we are looking for "removePanelsModeSwitcher": and change to true:

"removePanelsModeSwitcher": true,

How to use standard client tokens?

As you know, XVM uses its own tank markers, which, for their own reasons, are not liked by many tankers. So, in order to cut them down, you need to find a line in the battle.xc file:

"useStandard Markers":

And change the value to true. If you do everything right, it will look like this:

"useStandardMarkers": true,

Video about mod XVM

The first video is an interview with one of the developers of the mod. We already somehow published it, but I decided to post it here.

We published the second video in our public VKontakte. If you haven't subscribed yet, we recommend that you do so.

Many World of Tanks players are actively experimenting with mods. Well, what can you do for the sake of victory: improvements and functional additions just increase the chance to overthrow the enemy and are a great bonus to gaming skills.

But over time, with the accumulation of combat experience, sometimes it comes to the understanding that this or that mod is useless or not to your liking. We will talk about how to remove unnecessary add-ons and how to disable XVM in the WOT game in this article.

Removing all mods

Method number 1: "from scratch"

The cleaning option is simple, but definitely radical:

1. The game client is completely removed with all folders. As an alternative to standard uninstallation using standard system tools, you can use a special uninstaller program (for example, Revo Uninstaller) to completely get rid of traces of the application (in file directories and the registry).
2. The latest version of the client is downloaded on the developer's website and installed "clean".

That is, a global reinstallation of the game on the computer is performed.

Method #2: Deleting mods in the client directory

This approach is selective action. In many cases, it is more acceptable, as it allows you to save the configuration of a previously installed client (before installing mod packs). For the implementation of some special skills, the cleaning procedure is not required, but when performing it, you need to be extremely careful not to remove the "vital" folders from the WoT directory. Otherwise, you will be forced to resort to method number 1.

So, you need to do the following:
1. Right-click on the shortcut of the game client on the desktop. Select "File Location" from the context menu (to locate the directory).

2. Open the WoT folder and go to the "res_mods" subfolder.

3. Delete all folders with versions, except for the folder with an earlier version (for example, 0.9.17.1):

• holding down the "CTRL" button select the items to be deleted;
• right-click on one of the elements and click "Delete" in the drop-down menu.

How to remove the "reindeer"

The XVM mod that modifies the combat interface can also be removed in various ways:

Method number 1: uninstall

Note. You can uninstall a mod using the system function only if you installed it, and did not drag it into the client folder.

1. Open: Start → Control Panel → Programs and Features.

2. Find the application XVM_version… in the list

3. Right-click on it and activate the "Delete" command.

4. Confirm the deletion in the panel with the request ("Yes" button).

5. Follow the instructions in the uninstaller panel.

Method number 2: setting up a profile

An alternative option to disable statistics is to leave the XVM mod files in the directory. Thus, in the future, if necessary, interface add-ons can be enabled again without any installations and reinstallations.

1. Log in to the add-on's website (modxvm.com).
2. In the profile, in the "Statistics of players in battle" section, uncheck all options.

Upon completion of removing mods from the game directory or uninstalling the entire WoT client, it is also recommended to clean up the Windows system using a cleaner utility (for example, CCleaner).

Comfortable and interesting gameplay in World of Tanks!

Many advanced players in World of Tanks now use deer gauges. That is, gadgets that show additional statistics about the battle, the percentage of winnings, hitting the enemy, etc.

But over time, it can get boring and the question arises of how to remove the reindeer in World of Tanks forever

There are several reasons for deletion:

1. If you have a weak computer and the installation of such a modification starts to slow down the game process. As a rule, modxvm is loaded after starting the game client, and during the loading of the battle it starts showing statistics, it is painted in different colors and this leads to additional CPU and RAM load. Therefore, if you have a computer with less than 2 GB of RAM, it is highly undesirable to use mods.

2. If you want to participate in tank tournaments, then it is advisable to remove it, since it is prohibited.

3. It is possible to delete the reindeer only after the complete deletion of the XVM folder, with all subfolders.
Since the statistics modification has the functions of editing parameters, you can partially or completely disable it using a text editor.

Mod pack builders also like to set stats by default.

Therefore, before installing the next modpack in the installer settings, look at the checkboxes where there is information about the statistics, if it is there, uncheck it, then the statistics will not be displayed at all.

It happens that during a new update, XVM starts to work incorrectly, some markers are not displayed, graphic artifacts appear in the game, or the client with the game refuses to start (a black screen appears or crashes with a critical error), for this you need to completely remove the mods and try to start pure client.

Some people just get bored with the reindeer meter interface and want to return to the standard one, and third-party calculators can be used to calculate statistics, which are now enough, plus they can provide additional information about the effectiveness of battles in a team or clan.

On some sites there is a top 10 best player by BH8 rating.

We hope this article will help you. For a comfortable game, it is advisable not to use any interface modifications at all, so you will have maximum performance from the game and there will be no problems with the client. We wish you great victories!

To completely remove the XVM mod, you need to find the folder with the game World of Tanks\res_mods\xvm (this folder must be deleted along with all the contents). We hope that this instruction will help you, and now you will know how to remove the reindeer in World of Tanks.

For players who have recently begun to comprehend World of Tanks, it is difficult to cope with numerous opponents. At the same time, it is quite natural that opponents with a certain level of experience, improved weapons and proper equipment outperform beginners in various ways.

In order not to lose interest in the game, without starting to win, all players each at one time resort to the help of special mods

One of the most common mods among fans of the world of tanks is XVM, which contributes to an extended combat interface. This mod is currently used by about four million players. Xvm includes such modifications as disabling the post-mortem panel, displaying chances to win, player ratings and combat statistics, and much more.

The predecessor of this mod is the equally popular OTM - over target markers, with which the player could create new tank markers and see the damage done to the enemy tank.

In order to install XVM, you need to spend a little time and patience, but what if you don’t like it, what if, after gaining experience in the game, after trying various mods, the player came to the conclusion that XVM is useless in the game?

The question arises, how to remove XVM in World of Tanks?

This question can lead to some difficulty, because there is no uninstaller program for specific modifications in World of Tanks. Therefore, you will need to remove unnecessary functions manually, for this you need to know exactly which folder, which function is responsible for, in order to remove really unnecessary content, and not spoil the one that interests you.

To achieve a positive result when answering the tormenting question of how to remove XVM in World of Tanks, two options can be offered. One is very simple, but, let's say, for an amateur: you need to delete the installed game and restart a new one with a clean client.

This option, probably, will satisfy few people, so you need to consider the second option.

In this case, in the folder with the game, you should find the res mods folder, and already in it, clear the folders [game version]\gui, and [game version]\scripts and delete the XVM folder.

In the case of using the second option to remove XVM, the functions of other mods installed in the game may be damaged, in which case it is advisable to reinstall those that are necessary in the game.
Good luck in battle!

Now it has become popular to play with the statistics of combat in the game World of Tanks, it helps to find out in what percentage you can damage a particular enemy.

But it happens that the xvm modification gets bored during the battle because of its bright palette, some players may not navigate correctly, or even completely forget about the statistics, and then the question of how to disable xvm in World of Tanks is brewing.

There are several proven ways to do this.

1) The statistic originates from the xvm website, you can simply turn it off by logging into your account. You need to uncheck all the checkboxes in the settings, then re-enter the game client, the statistics should disappear.

2) Olenemer most often comes with modpacks, that is, collections of various modifications for the game that change the interface and add benefits, try removing all mods completely and start the game, or if you don’t want to lose new features in the game, just delete the folder in the mods folder xvm with all files, then the statistics will be lost.

If something has changed in the mod settings without your knowledge, this can also become a reason to disable xvm, for example, incomprehensible markers appear in battle and this greatly interferes with the players

4) ModXVM greatly affects the performance of the computer, because the interface is loaded during the loading of the battle, and during the battle there is an approximate calculation of the efficiency rating, because of this, battles can occur with slowdowns, in which case disabling the mod can help.

Since ModXVM is highly configurable, you can change the settings in the xvm\ [email protected]- this is your standard profile in the folder itself there are all the necessary parameters that can be changed or disabled altogether.

Let's say we find the rating.xc file and open it with any text editor.

We see the inscriptions PlayerStatistics, etc., if the parameter is set to true, it must be changed to False, then the player's statistics will disappear, this parameter should also be specified in other paragraphs. There is another way to disable xvm in World of Tanks, if you have not updated statistics for a month for a long time, then it will disappear by itself.

It should be noted that without using XVM, you will rely only on the results in the game, you will not have access to damage statistics or the number of frags (destroyed vehicles), you will not know when to light the enemy, but nevertheless, disabling the deer meter gives a performance increase by weak computers and the game client itself will work stably.
