Hi, everyone!

In this topic We’d like to explain how to change visibility icons in battle interface.

From this (default view)

IconVisibilityVolley


IconVisibilityShip


IconVisibilityPlane


IconVisibilityRLS


IconVisibilitySonar


IconVisibilityCommonXray












































To this (these icons are used as an example):

IconVisibilityVolley


IconVisibilityShip


IconVisibilityPlane


IconVisibilityRLS


IconVisibilitySonar


IconVisibilityCommonXray













































The collection contains more than six clips, here’s the full list of events triggering the display of info icons:

IconVisibilityFightersWarning


IconVisibilityFightersCritical


IconVisibilityAntiAir


IconVisibilityVolley


IconVisibilityShip


IconVisibilityPlane


IconVisibilityRadar


IconVisibilityAircarrierAttacked


IconVisibilityRLS


IconVisibilitySonar


IconVisibilityCommonXray

First step is to prepare the future icons in the required size. Icons should be created in *.PNG (preferably already optimized for lesser file size).

Them using the client unpack tool unpack the file: World_of_Warships/res_unpack/gui/unbound/main_hud_pc.xml

In the main_hud_pc.xml search for required event, for example, being spotted by enemy ship:








This block sets the main (defaults) parameter for the image:

image width

image length

location in depository (in this example – in hud_lib.swf file)


Assume you have an image with 70x70 pixels size Changing the lenght nad width paremeters accordingly in the block:




Then you need to put the path to the external depository where the image is stored where the game will be taking this image from.

Assume you have it stored in res_mods//gui/VisibilityItemsClip - then we need to put the path to this directory (VisibilityItemsClip):



In the end the changed block will look like this:








Save the changed file in according folder World_of_Warships/res_mods//gui/unbound/main_hud_pc.xml


add folder with your images World_of_Warships/res_mods//gui/VisibilityItemsClip



Log in to battle and see the results!

Look at "BattleIndicatorsContainer" and "DetectIndicator", I think this may be the answer to your question.
