About [0.8.5] Battle Loading Background Screens
Shows mini maps on each background screen while the battle is loading.
One map is the in-game map (lower right corner) the others are high resolution views of the available battle types (Standard, Assault, Encounter)
Background is a zoomed out shot from the game
New Features:
Key Terrain and Avenues of Approach - now contains a minmap with the key terrain and avenues of approach highlighted. These are the ones most mused during battles, at least as experienced by me during my 18,000 battles.
New screenshot showing map and how it appears with the Battle Loading Screen over it.
Avenue of Approach is defined as: An air or ground route of an attacking force of a given size leading to its objective or to key terrain in its path.
Key Terrain is defined as: Some terrain feature (natural or manmade) which, if controlled, will give a marked advantage to whoever controls it. Often selected for use as battle positions or objectives
Key or decisive terrain must be controlled, not necessarily occupied. It may be controlled by either fires or maneuver.
examples:
a bridge over an unfordable river which gives access to the opposite shore without requiring an assault crossing.
a level clearing in rough terrain which is the only accessible landing field for airmobile operations
if you identify only one valid avenue of approach to the command's objective, then the choke points on that avenue will probably become key terrain

Sorry for late replies, been on extended vacation.
Uploaded the updated sceens for 0.8.2.
The screens are image files only, they do not have any flash (swf) files included. So the teams list and other components are a game feature and not modified.
New download is setup to just unzip the res_mods into the game forlder for installaion...
See the second screen shot for a view of the new format.
Could you make version without mini maps and teams list? Seeing only the shape of a map would be nice.
Will there be an Update for the 0.7.5 Maps? Would be nice, thanks in advance ;)
Please explain. I have gotton other mods to work, but this one I have followed your instruction, but it still wont work...Please advise me
Installation:
Unzip and the folder structure is there. Change 0.7.3 to 0.7.4
The *.png files need to be in: ...World_of_Tanks/res_mods/0.7.4/gui/maps/icons/map/screen/
how do you install this?
How do you install it?
please provide a path i couldnt get it to work...im computer stupid
I was absolutely praying for someone to make something like this, thank-you so much!
