Grandpa's KISS Interface Webpage

Don't want Simple, try the Enhancements found here: Grandpa's KISS Enhancements

I believe in the Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS) approach, therefore I like to keep my Battle Interface relatively simple and uncluttered. To some, my approach seems even more cluttered, with hitlogs for who hit me, and hitlogs for who I hit, but in the area surrounding my tank, I keep the clutter down.

The current version is for 0.8.5

Contains the following features:

• Using XVM Client 3.5.0 fully customizable in the XVM.xvmconf file. Does not require the installation of the XVM-Stat files unless you want to see player stats (1.4.1 preferred)
• Custom Over Taget Markers (OTM) via XVMConf, stock markers can be used
• Custom minimap via XVMConf, stock minimap can be used
• Battle Loading Background Screens included
• Custom vehicle icons, other icons can be used
• MyHitLog show the hits you make on the enemy
• Custom damage panel and hit log shows teh hits you have taken and damage to components
• Custom crosshairs with artillery traverse
• Capture Flag indicator
• Custom ammo and artifact icons
• Custom crewmembers and tank icons in the hangar

So this is the Battle Interface I use.

Please review the pictures to get a view of the interface at work.

• At the top of screen is the ping, fps, and calendar/clock.
• Next to that is the MyHitLog Indicator, this is part of the Over Target Marker Mod.
• KISS Vehicle Icons, used mostly to quickly identify types of tanks in game.
• Ammo and artifact markers with large letters (eyesight ain’t what it used to be), with custom icons.
• Minimap mod, can be customized via XVM. Press "X" to get large minimap pop up in middle of screen
• The sight is a simple sight. I don’t want too much “clutter” in front of me and have adapted this to work to my satisfaction.

These are additional mods not included in the KISS XVM download. They are developed and tested to work with KISS XVM and will further enhance your WoT interface.

Configuration Changes

KISS interface. Almost all can be customized via the XVM Configuration. As a result I have provided 4 different configuration files with the download. Each is fully documented through remarks, if you want to make changes. They are:

• XVM.xvmconf = Custom OTM, custom Minimap, custom battle loading and players panel with statistics
• EFF.xvmconf = as above, but used Efficiency for Nick name instead of Win6 Rating
• NO_OTM.xvmconf = stock in-game OTM markers
• OTM_NO_MINI.xvmconf = without minimap mod
• WHY_BOTHER.xvmconf = without OTM and minimap mod

To change your configuration file, go into res_mods/0.8.x/gui/flash and rename the XVM.xvmconf to BACKUP.xvmconf, then rename the configuration file you want to XVM.xvmconf. Use the caps as shown.

If you want to attempt your own custom configuration, I suggest you use the XVM Configuration Editor, its relatively easy to use and you have my configurations to fall back on. Otherwise, you can make simple changes in the configuration file.

For ALL configuration changes, open res_mods/0.8.x/gui/flash/XVM.xvmconf in Notepad or Notepad Plus, DO NOT use Wordpad

• For STOCK OTM, in line 27 change "useStandardMarkers": false, to true
• To relocate the MyHitLog, in line 133-134 change the x and y location
• To change the Minimpa Hotkey, in line 44 change "minimapZoom": { "enabled": true, "onHold": true, "keyCode": 88 } to appropriate number
• To turn the custom minimap OFF, in line 198 change "enabled": true, to false

Mods that I have tested and work well with this interface are:

• Grandpa's Content Mod
• Grandpa's Favorite Voices and Sound Pack
• Clock in Hangar
• Any of my custom skin mods
• Grandpa's Visibility and Lighting Mod
• If you want the server-side sight mod, install Grandpa's KISS Crosshairs, same as included here, but have teh server-side mod applied.
• Want the ZOOM feature, install Grandpa's 4X Level Sniper Mod

The following information is provided to assist you in downloading and installing XVM-Stat 1.2.4 which supplies the player statistics.
