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.  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

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 If outdated just install the latest versions.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 Essentials and PMOD.

  • For the core of KISS I am using WGMods Essentials 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.  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, see Grandpa’s KISS Battle Interface (AIO)

Let me know if you find any other issues.

  • Hello Grandpa,

    Mods are working just perfectly, no bugs at all. Thanks for your work.
    2 questions though :
    – In the upper left corner of the screen there are lips (sometimes green sometimes red) and 2 double digits. Can’t figure out what they stand for.
    – a few new tanks like AMX M4 49 have no icons in battleatlas , do you plan an update ?

    Thanks again for the great job you do.

    • Answer to question 1 – that is lag, the letters are MS which indicates lag (MilliSeconds). Green good, yellow and red not so good.
      Answer to 2 – Check out the updates as of a couple of days ago, should have gotten the new tanks. If not will update again later today.

      If its not in the KISS AIO package correctly, I may have failed to move it over. Get the icon style of your choice from my icon download and install it over AIO. I checked and the icons are correct.

  • Option 1 needs to be at the end of the hangar file – and then you need to copy over carousel.xc and carouselNormal.xc and carouselSmall.xc and then it works 🙂

  • The sort order is somehow ignored both when in a carousel file for itself or when using Option #2 (I did try that beforehand myself – but now I’ve double checked both settings).

    • Option #2

      In kiss-hangar.xc change line 25 to read:

      “carousel”: {
      “enabled”: true,
      “nations_order”: [“czech”, “ussr”, “germany”, “usa”, “france”, “uk”, “china”, “japan”]
      },

      I’ll include the sort order in next update, but with a different order. But at least you can change the order easier. Will be in XVM 6.4.8 update, hopefully coming soon.

  • The new config files are a mess – I am having a hard time finding the things I need and some of the features I used previously are gone – for instance nation and vehicle sorting.
    I am currently going up the Chech tech tree, but now my vehicles are at the back of the carousel 🙁
    mirroredVehicleIcons seems to be ignored from the config files – it’s disabled in the config, but in battle the enemy vehicles and text are mirrored :/
    I am seriously considering other options now.

    • The options you are looking for are in the carousel.xc file. I use defaults for the carousel, so do not need to use a carousel.xc file. If you want to make changes do the follwoing.
      1. Edit kiss_hangar.xc line 25 “carousel”: {“enabled”: true}, change to “carousel”: ${“carousel.xc”:”carousel”},. 2. Then copy carousel.xc from res_mods/config/xvm/default to res_mods/config/xvm/grandpa then edit garndpa/carousel.xc to make sorting changes.

      I am not having issue with mirrored icons, so will have to see what that is about.

      KISS XVM is made to work with KISS AIO, if you looking for a basic XVM from which to start modifying or customizing to yur needs, another one may be the best choice. I design mine to be easy for me to use and easy to keep updated, it is not one size fits all.
