Grandpa’s KISS Battle Interface (AIO)

Update for game version 2.1.1.0

This is includes the config for XVM andPMOD based on the KISS AIO Mods. You must first install the current XVM and PMOD mods, then intall the KISS configurations.ย  With it I have linked to other mods that I use to complete the AIO. You may include your own additional mods to make it as you want. Or use the configs as a base and revise them to your pleasure. Apologies for the trouble of compiling your own mod, but my WoT playing time has significantly reduced, therefore I do not update the AIO very

Mix of images, old and new

Grandpa’s All-In-One (XVM)
KISS XVM Description

I use XVM and PMOD to do what I would need multiple other mods to accomplish. Contrary to what you may read on the forums, XVM does not interfere with FPS and if you do not want the player statistics, don’t register on the XVM web site.

KISS All-in-One (AIO) consists of the following:

NOTICE:

  • This download the configuration files and necessary icons, along with the current installation of XVM and PMOD. Check the XVM and PMOD dates to insure curreddnt version. If outdated just install the latest versions.
  • The configurations for XVM and PMOD will work separately as stand-alones or together for the full KISS Interface.

XVM – changes to the xvm config.

  • Custom Damage Log
  • Custom Hitlog
  • Clock in Hangar
  • Battle efficiency in hangar
  • Gun Constraints
  • Custom enemy spotted markers
  • Custom Over Target Markers (OTM)
  • Custom rising killed ghost
  • Custom debug panel
  • Anti-mirror icons

PMOD

  • Sniper zoom
  • Zoom indicator
  • Session statistics
  • Custom After Battle Reports
  • Camera zoom

ADDITIONAL MODS – I also use these, they are included in the KISS XVM and also the add_ons directory

Grandpa’s All-In-One (KISS)
KISS No XVM Description

This is an All-In-One (AIO) of the KISS Battle Interface without XVM. Rather than XVM it uses PMOD and WGMods Essentials to accomplish the hangar and battle interface, it DOES NOT have any player statistics.

Features:

For the latter mods *, you will need to download the mod from the external site, install it, then copy/paste Grandpa’s configurations into the mods directory.

Move the grandpa_<damage, battle, tankmen>_icons.wotmod file from the current version directory to the res/mods/<current game verson> directory

Keeping KISS Updated with WGMods

Keeping KISS Updated with WGMods

Use of WGMods allows you to use the installer to install and configure the mods you want to use, this allows users to update faster to the various updates. The two primary parts of AIO are WGMods Essentialsย and PMOD.

  • For the core of KISS I am using WGMods Essentialsย this allows me to get updates to the “core” parts of KISS without searching for numerous mods all over the net. Images showing the choices I made from WGMods Essentials are included below. These mods include:
    • PMOD current version
    • Gun constraints
    • Safeshot
    • Large ammo counter
    • Fog and visibility mods
    • Quick repair
  • I then add my mods files to the WGMods Essentials to get the AIO.ย  You can still download the AIO as one download or you can add other WGMods Essentials to can create your own battle interface..
    • KISS Crosshairs mod
    • Grandpa’s Custom Icon Mod (puts icons in the res_mods folder. If WG adds new icons, the WG new will show as default)
    • Zayaz’s Damage Panel
    • Unit Detected 6th Sense sound
KISS UPDATES

NOTICE: When updating from an older version, please DELETE all the old files first, then install new files. This is especially true in the World of Tanks/mods directory. You will get an error if there is a duplicate, or when you go into battle, you will not have an interface.

This is only the Updates page, to get more information, screenshots and videos of KISS, seeย Grandpaโ€™s KISS Battle Interface (AIO)

Let me know if you find any other issues.

  • Have to say Grandpa, the 9.4 update was the best I have seen from you so far! Just keep getting better! Take care and have an fantastic Christmas and/or holidays! Looking forward to your 9.5.

    • Check the NEWS on front page for 0.9.4 update info. I have most of them done now and uploaded. But as with any update, further editions will follow.

    • If you are not using XVM, you must find a mod to non-mirror icons. Or select one of the styles 6,9,12 that do not require a non-mirror mod

  • My hud/scope is off-centered (to the left). This used to happen only on arty, but I am seeing it on every tank now. Any ideas on what could be causing it? (And thanks for the great mods!)

    • OK, I get this report randomly and I have tested both Enhanced and Standard on a clean install and no issues with either, in arcade, sniper, or strategic. So here is my best guess on what is causing this. 1) bad install, try getting the latest file and re-installing. OR (probably the real issue) 2) you are installing a newer version over an older one and leaving behind some old unnecessary files. So to check this, look in the res_mods/0.9.2/scripts/client/mods directory in either version you should have GunConstraints.pyc

      If using Enhanced you should have MS.pyc and position.pyc files, if you have FixRecreateDevice.pyc, delete it.

      If using Standard you should have FixedRecreateDevice.pyc, MS.pyc, MS.xml if you have sights.pyc and sights.xml or position.pyc, delete them

      Let me know if either solution works. Since I am not having this issue, its difficult for me to troubleshoot.

        • Uninstalled WoT, left no residual directories (unless there something out in ProgramData or AppData). Fresh download of client, and installed. Opened the game for the first time and tested. Scope HUD is centered.

          Downloaded KISS Enhanced, unzipped directly into the res_mods/0.9.2 directory.
          Downloaded KISS Enhanced XVM, unzipped into the res_mods directory, overwriting all duplicate files.
          No other mods, or customizations.

          Scope HUD is still left of center. I am removing res_mods and will try just the AIO now. (I should have tried that earlier.)

          • With just AIO applied, the HUD is off center for me. I find that very odd. Are there any configuration files that are stored outside of res_mods?

          • Which version? Get the sight for that
            version from Curse. Install that and see if it corrects. I tested just A I no issues for me

            But I will check a again…

            Here is probable issue. There are files outside the 0.9.2 directory. Shilolette.xml being one . Un archive the res_mods directory into the Wot game fplder

          • Must unarchive res _ mods folder into Wot game folder. Files under res_mods outside of 0.9.2 folder

          • (Forum won’t let me reply to the latest post.)

            kiss_enh_92v7.zip is what I am using. Not certain of which sight for it, but I have now tried crosshairs_v2_92v2 & kiss_crosshair_92. <– actually lowered the hud some, putting on the same plane I would expect to see, but still off to the left.

            I feel like I am monopolizing your time. I really appreciate your mods and your help on them. My donation was small, but it should help pay for hosting this month.

          • Performed these steps:

            1. Closed game.
            2. Deleted the res_mods folder.
            3. Extracted kiss_enh_92v7.zip res_mods directly into WoT game folder.
            4. Tested and the HUD was off center.
            5. Closed game.
            6. Extracted kiss_enhanced.zip res_mods folder directly into WoT game folder, selecting overwrite when prompted.
            7. Tested and HUD was off center.
            8. Closed game.
            9. Searched for *.xml in the WoT folder (and subfolders). Could not find silhouette.xml anywhere.
            10. Deleted res_mods folder again.
            11. Extracted xvm-5.3.3.zip res_mods directly into WoT game folder.

            Is there a calculation that occurs, based off of the system resolution, to determine center?
