What does the res mods folder look like? Description and location of mods in World of Tanks. Description of all files included in the assembly
Hello, tankman!
This topic will help you determine which mod files you need in the client, and which are most likely unnecessary, and you can also simply understand where to install certain mods.
The Wargaming.net campaign (the game developers) does not prohibit the use of mods, but also does not recommend using them, as they can reduce the performance of the game. Of course, there is a list of prohibited mods in the World of Tanks game, but today we will not talk about it.
For a general understanding of the topic, you need to know a little about the history of the development of the project. And so, on March 7, 2012, in update 0.7.1.1, the game client was restructured; in other words, there were changes in the location of mods, they moved to the res_mods folder. Initially, all mods were installed in the res folder, but this was not convenient, you had to manually leave backup copies of the files, which is why the developers created the res_mods folder. You should also know that in update 0.8.8 the flash folder was changed to scaleform - this information may not be useful to you, but still, in case you decide to install mods earlier than this version or try to optimize mods.
You can place mods in the res_mods folder, both in the rhizome and for game versions 0.8.10, 0.8.11, and so on. We recommend installing your mods in the following path: res_mods\*game_version*\ .
Let's look at the location of the mods directly in the folder with the mod version. For the average player who uses mods, the res_mods/*game_version*/ folder contains the following folders:
content
gui
scripts
spaces
system
text
vehicles
Now let’s look at each of them in order, what they may contain and why certain folders and files are needed:
Content
The content folder is responsible for changing objects in the game (not tank remodeling) and for changing skins not related to vehicles (as one example - a railway platform, non-destructible buildings, their modders are highlighted for convenience and the files are located in this folder)
content\BuildingsRare- non-destructible buildings
content\Environment- fences, poles, fences, benches, birds, etc.

For example: ambient_%NAME%.bsp - ambient sounds, instead of %NAME% there can be: hangar - hangar, birds - birds (woodpecker on a robin, lol), water - water, etc.
ambient_%NAME%- environmental sounds, music in the hangar, fan noise, birds, waterfalls, wind, frogs.

Likewise the folder speedtree necessary to support mods dedicated to the May 9 holiday. Inside a folder !_icons There are special icons, or otherwise icons, to display for battle. (player_nickname *crossed swords icon* player_nickname - killed, player_name *exclamation mark icon* - need help and other changes)

Latest update information:
Updated 10/09/2018:- adapted for 1.2;
P-mod is a builder for your personal gaming interface or the basis for your modpack. Depending on the purpose of use, the authors offer a choice of two mod options - with a single-file or multi-file configuration.
P-mod is not a collection of mods, but a complex mod with many functions. In the extended version, each element of the game interface is configured using a separate configuration file, which allows you to make it the basis of a modpack, similar to the one on which many are based.
Standard P-mod version contains all the same functions, but they are configured through one configuration file. This is more convenient for personal use, when you do not need to disassemble the mod into parts and sort through a bunch of separate files for this.
Both the standard and extended versions of the mod contain setup tips right inside the configuration files, so setup should not cause the slightest difficulty.
P-mod features
P-mod allows:
- Set the number of steps per sniper scope and magnification factor
- Set up the “command camera” - maximum distance in arcade mode
- Disable camera sway when shooting and hitting your tank (dynamic camera)
- Add session statistics and expanded information about the results of the battle to the game client
- Set up a battle chat filter
- Increase the display time of the “sixth sense” light bulb
- Install/remove removable tank equipment in one click
- And much more
Video - review
Video demonstrates the work session statistics P-mod. With its help, you can get comprehensive information about your current results and their impact on efficiency statistics and the balance of silver and
- Minimal and only useful changes to the original game interface
- Minimum installed files, minimum problems when game updates are released
- Easy to configure, the functions of each assembly file are described in detail
-
Does not lead to a significant drop in the performance of weak computers
Description of all files included in the assembly:
I deliberately did not include heavy mods in the assembly (I posted them separately), so it weighs only 13 MB. All mods can be downloaded individually in the relevant sections of the topic below. Here, short review contents of the main archive, what works and how it works is described in more detail in the relevant sections of the topic below:

Application.swf(helper file for running XVM mods in the hangar)
logos.swf(Clock in the hangar)
TankCarousel.swf(carousel of tanks in several rows)
TankCarousel.cfg(file with tank carousel settings)
When installing:
1. Check the installation path carefully (since the installer cannot determine it automatically)
2. Don’t forget to disable the new mini-map features in the game settings (so as not to interfere with the XVM inscriptions)
3. To install mods, unpack the contents of the installer into the root folder of the game: ...\World_of_Tanks\
It is going through the Beta testing stage and the developers did not create a res_mods folder for installing mods. Why didn't they make the folder itself below?
Folder "res_mods" World of Warplanes
IN this moment, World game of Warplanes has left the closed beta stage and is in open beta. What does this mean. Nothing) The developers are testing the game and looking for buggies to make a full release. At this stage, Wargaming did not create a res_mods folder, like in World of Tanks, which is needed to install mods. This folder is needed so as not to change the client’s file system, and if we install a mod and a new bug is found, the developers will not be able to understand why it appeared, whether it was the client or the mod. Therefore, the craftsmen themselves created such a folder, and now to install the mod you don’t need to dig through the .pkg archives, but simply extract the contents into this folder.
To install sights, .swf files need to be dropped into res_mods\gui\flash\, etc.
And the folder itself should be placed in the root of the game \World_of_Warplanes\
