Fixes for Update 1.2 are on their way -- and the first wave of them has arrived! I have gone through and updated all of my non-legacy skin packs to fix the issue which caused textures to incorrectly render in battle. These updates apply to the following mods:

• Chinese Brown Drab* & Military Green*
• Czechoslovak Olive Drab, Primer Grey, & Ultra Dark
• Finnish Haalistunut Harmaa (Faded Grey)
• French Gris Vert, Vert d'Artillerie, & Vert Olive
• German Bundeswehr Grün, Neue Dunkelgelb, & Primer Red
• Hungarian Factory Green
• Japanese Light Blue & Reddish Brown
• Polish Szarozielony (Gray-Green)
• UK Bronze Green & Light Olive
• US Forest Green & Thunderbolt Olive (formerly Thunderbolt Green)
  
• USSR 4BO-1C Green
• User Requests:
  • Multicolor Zephyr Camo
  • Ryuukai Digital Clan Camo
  • SST Blue Splinter Camo

Currently, I am planning to roll out these updates in three waves. The first, which is already out (shown above), focuses on fixes for my skin packs, while the second (next) wave will focus on fixing my vehicle skins and mods / remodels, as they are also in need of updates (both in order to fix the rendering issues mentioned above and to bring the vehicles' XML scripts up-to-date with to the current versions [as they have since been changed rather extensively]). The third (and final) wave will focus on new releases and content updates, but that will happen a bit later.

For now, hope you enjoy! If you happen to encounter any bugs, let me know and I'll have a go at squashing them. Thanks for your patience, and stay tuned for waves 2 - 3!

P.S.: For a full list of changes, check out the Github pages for each pack. I will be posting a full set of Update Notes after the next wave is released, so that everything will be in one place.

Welcome to another installment of Update Notes -- except this time, things are a little different!

In an effort to simplify things on both sides, I have decided to (slightly) modify the format of these Update Notes posts going forward. To start with, mod releases will now have dedicated posts of their own (as seen with the two most recent releases -- Strv S2 "Överlevande prototyp" & the Polish Gray-Green [Szarozielony] pack), while the Update Notes posts will be solely for... well, update notes. (That, and the titles will be vastly simpler as well, since the old ones were getting a little ridiculous.)

Anyway, without further ado, here is a complete list of all the changes since last (19. June - 29. August, 2018).

A new recolor pack has been released, this time in preparation for Update 1.1 -- Szarozielony, a semi-historical gray-green color for Polish vehicles! This pack includes skins for all Polish vehicles (excluding the Pudel, for hopefully-obvious reasons), custom carousel/tech tree icons to match, and an optional add-on to replace the default Polish emblem. Check it out below!

Note: While this may seem a bit early for a release (considering the nation isn't even out on the live server as of yet), this pack still works in the current version of WoT (1.0.2.4), as it also includes both the 50TP prototyp (with support for the "Winged Hussars" style set) and TKSz nkm 20A (this year's anniversary gift vehicle). If you install it in the current version, you will not need to redownload it when 1.1 is released -- all you'll need to do is move it to the correct version folder within <Your WoT Directory>\mods\, as the rest of the vehicles will already have the files required for the recolor to work.

Anyway, hope you enjoy, and as always, happy tanking!

A new mod has been released -- this time, a remodel for the Strv S1! This follows a similar premise to my previous remodel for the Lorraine 40 t, in that it is meant to replicate a real prototype of the vehicle - in this instance specifically, the surviving prototype of the Strv S2 (seen here) - as well as to visually simplify the model (rather than adding stuff to it). Check it out!

Happy tanking! Hope you enjoy!

Oh, and a quick note while you're here: going forward, I've decided to try and further simplify content posts on the site. Rather than grouping a bunch of information into one long post every so often, I'll just post about new content as I release it (unless several releases happen at once, or they fall within a few days of a major patch -- in which case, they will fall into the usual set of Status Updates/Update Notes). This way, you'll be able to see new content as soon as it arrives, and you won't have to read through as many long posts just to do so.

Status Update: the second release of the Dakka Improvement Project is here, complete with 27 new vehicles! This update mainly focuses on two nations which had yet to make an appearance - Germany and Sweden - but also includes an assortment of vehicles from other nations. Read on for all the details, as well as some preview images -- and, of course, a link to download!

Due to the release of the new Sherman VC Firefly as well as the inclusion of the T26E3 "Eagle 7" in the game client (which has a different color from the standard American drab), customization support has (annoyingly) broken once again for my packs. ⚠ If you've previously installed any of my packs and used the guide to fix customization, please redownload the default_colors.xml file and repeat the process again, as the game will not function correctly otherwise. ⚠ Apologies for the inconvenience, but what WG does with the file system is (obviously) out of my control, so all I can do is update stuff as soon as I find out. (By the way, huge thanks to Avalon for letting me know of the issue!) Anyway, back to our regularly-scheduled programming.

As promised, another set of Update Notes is here! This time around, the first wave of vehicles in the Dakka Improvement Project has been released, as well as a remodel for the K-91, British Bronze Green version 2 (as mentioned previously), updates to some skins/remodels to support the newly-expanded visual customization system, some new additions/fixes for several packs, and more! Read on for all the details!

Super quick announcement: Due to some unforeseen circumstances, the initial release of the Dakka Improvement Project has been delayed until at-or-shortly-after the release of Update 1.0.2. This is mainly to ensure I have enough time to get as much of the required testing and tuning in before the time of release, so that as few bugs as possible (preferably none at all) are left. However, I do have some good news: the second major update to the British Bronze Green pack has arrived! This update brings with it 27 brand-new vehicles, changes with the file formatting, new addons/mod support, and more! (Do note that, due to the file formatting changes, you will need to uninstall the previous version of this pack from res_mods before updating.) I will be grouping the official change notes with the Updates Notes post coinciding with 1.0.2's release, but if you still want to see the current changelogs, see the pack's Github page for now.

That's all for now (I meant it when I said this was a "quick" announcement!). More news will be arriving with the release of Update 1.0.2 -- and hopefully, the Dakka Improvement Project's first release should be ready by then. Hope you enjoy the update, and as always, happy tanking!

UPDATE (May 3): WG appears to have made some changes to the format of the "default_colors.xml" file, used to define the default colors of vehicles for the customization system (which could be modified to fix the display of colors on recolored vehicles, like those in my packs). As such, if you had a modified default_colors.xml file installed from a previous update, then it would not work correctly in update 1.0.1. I've gone back and both updated the download link for the new version of the file as well as the instructions on how to edit it correctly. If you had previously used the old version of this method to fix the display of customization with my packs, or if you're using my packs but haven't done so yet, go have a look at the updated Customization Guide page. Apologies for any inconvenience.

Update 1.0.1 is here, which means it's time for another installment of Update Notes! This time around, it's fixes, fixes, and more fixes: all of  the bugs which came about with the release of update 1.0 should finally be squashed! Read on to find out what's changed, as well as to see a  rather-extensive preview of what's in store for the near future!

Something new is on its' way, aimed to spread the ways of dakka! This post goes more into detail on what's in store with the Dakka Improvement Project, a series of remodels dedicated to bringing more dakka to World of Tanks. Read all about it here!
