Even if the players in World of Tanks do not use the “deer measurer,” everyone still knows about this mod. This strange name is associated with ineffective gamers, who are often compared with wonderful animals - deer.
Description
So, before we figure out how to update the XM, we will find out what it is. "Olenemer" is a mod that displays the statistics of the participants of both its own and the enemy team. This task was originally set for the developers of this add-on, but now the XVM is a set of functions - useful and not very.
The popularity of this mod reached the figure of more than 3 million participants (3.7 million), and this once again proved the usefulness and necessity of the "deer measurer". The XM provides first of all the statistics of the players in the battle loading screen:
- performance rating;
- win rate;
- number of fights played;
- the chances of a team winning on a particular map.
In this case, all the displayed information can be configured through configuration files. Thus, you can change the percentage of the player not throughout the game, but on a specific tank. Most likely, the flexibility in changes made this mod so beloved and popular.
The supplement "deer measurer" was created on the basis of the XVM platform. It is also a popular mod that allows you to change parameters and data. Updating the XVM mod is very simple, while the following functions will be available to you:
- Displays damage dealt.
- Adapted mini-map with different settings and additions.
- Displays the light of opponents.
- Display of the base capture indicator (number of invaders and remaining time).
- Ping value.
- Markers, etc.
These are the most popular constituent elements. Of course, there are many more. And the most negative consequence of installing the HVM mod, which you definitely want to update the statue of, is endless and inexorable anger towards enemies. Now you know exactly which of them is real cancer, and indeed make sure that in the world there are very, very many tanks, crustaceans and artiodactyls.
Items
Now let's talk in more detail about the main elements of the "deer measure". The damage log is a very useful feature. The hitlog helps many tankers control all the damage done. This is especially convenient for extras, who simply need to score certain damage every battle so that their statistics do not fall. Also, this mod element is useful for performing combat missions, for which you need to fill the required number of damage units. The configuration of this function is found in the hitLog.xc file.
Markers over tanks of enemies or allies also require customization and are a convenient feature in battle. You can enable the advanced marker mode, in which the information above the tank will be even more complete. In addition to the model of the car, the number of frags per battle, the percentage of victories directly on this tank, as well as the player’s WN8 are indicated here. The information panel indicates the effectiveness rating, percentage of victories and the number of battles.
You can change the display of the crew’s skill “sixth sense”. In this case, the light bulb can take the form of whatever you want. To do this, find the folder res_mods \ xvm \ res and place the file there, after renaming it to SixthSense. Its extension must be * .png. Of course, there are still plenty of functions that you can customize, add or remove.
How to download
Installing the "deer measurer" is very simple. You will have to do this before deciding to upgrade the XM in tanks. The first method is more automated. For it, you will need a program that automatically downloads and installs, and also later helps update the XM - XVM Updater.
- Download this software.
- Run the file with the permission “.exe”. The program does not need to be installed.
- In the dialog box, select the version of the "deer gauge" (the most successful is Stable).
- Select the Default with ER configuration. This is the standard option.
- Click "Install" and use.
The next method is manual installation. On the Internet we find a complex mod, download the archive with files. Next, we find the folder in the downloaded archive - res_mods. We send it to the WoT measles directory. The configuration becomes “default” and the mod is ready to use.
Activation
Now it’s worth moving on to directly activating the mod. Again, before updating the "olememer" from the XBM, you need to go to the official website (modxvm.com). Here you need to log in: click "Login", select a region, and if you saved your game account on the official World of Tanks website in the browser, then login will be automatic. Above click on “Activate statistics”.
The “Update statistics” button will appear immediately, which you will use in the future so that your data in the game is up to date. After activation, you need to know that its time is limited - 14 days, therefore, in order for the "deer measurer" to work, you need to go to the site once every two weeks and activate it again.
Configuration setting
Before your HVM statistics, which can be updated on the site, work efficiently, you need to configure it. There are also two ways to do this. Manual configuration:
- We go into the res_mods \ xvm \ configs folder.
- We find the line xvm.xc.sample and delete the last word and period, it turns out xvm.xc.
- In the res_mods \ xvm \ configs \ default folder, we configure all the necessary functions. All important hints are provided in the files.
You can also download the XCTuner program. Run the file and install the program. Next, after starting the software, you need to specify the path to the mod configuration file (most often it is C: \ Games \ World_of_Tanks \ res_mods \ xvm \ configs \ xvm.xc). In the dialog box, we make all the necessary changes and save them.
Refresh
So, when we have already figured out what XVM statistics are, updating it is necessary on the site. But in order to update directly the "deer measurer", you need to download and run the XVM Updater program. Only before the upgrade, we always save the old configuration so as not to waste time setting it up. Click "Install / Update" and wait for the end.
Modpaki
There is such a thing as assembly mods. Usually they are created by famous water-makers and popular tankers. The “deer measurer” is already included there, and in order to update the XM, you do not need to download additional programs and “chemicalize” something yourself. Each update is issued by the owner of the modpack, so you just need to download the archive with the mods and install it. You need to activate everything also on the XVM website.
Setting up a modpack is an interesting business and can take a lot of time. Usually, water dealers create modpacks in which you can configure sights, damage indicators, the hangar interface, voice acting, etc. The settings of the "deer measurer" are also available here.
Benefit and harm
The benefits of the XMV mod are obvious from the above. As practice shows, many gamers prefer to use the "deer measurer" in order to monitor their statistics and pay attention to the effectiveness of other players. It is difficult to indicate the specific facts of the harm of the mod. Most often, experienced tankers believe that some components of the HVM are cheat and non-game. Nevertheless, soon the number of users of the "deer measurer" will exceed 4 million, and this indicates that the mod is still more useful than harmful.
As practice shows, updating the HVM is optional. But still, if you want to receive new additions and functions, it is advisable to devote some time to this process.
