side note on the roughnecks gunsight ,i have it in my download and it looks like the version i have is different from the one on frostzone ,it may be worth checking you have the latest version.

[soulza]

Yes the left side are general stats just change the background to whatever you want. Also if the minmap is annoying press left alt and h or j to disable

 

[soulza]

updated to latest version , link in first post.

to be fair win7 was not that bad i liked it ,they messed up when they switched to win8 god awful touch screen/tablet interface , i like win10 now and only noticed yesterday how different it was from win7  i assumed they were pretty much the same lol , i used to like XP probably the most i felt at home with.

will push an update in the morning ,been busy today getting stuff for my holiday together ,holiday companies assume everyone has a printer sat on their desk ,where in reality people used to have printers but quickly dumped them due to the cost of ink and if not used for a while jets clog up so they are naff. had to go to library and print out there lol. (bloody win7) and ancient PCs. on the subject of printers i have looked into 3D printers for a while as i was doing mods for my pc and needed a graphics card backplate cut and a few other things but was able to do it with a heat gun and a sharp craft knife  .

will post an updated pack in morning i just want to do one final round of checking if any new mods available and a few tweaks.

anything that can be displayed in the carousel can be displayed in the panels ,its just a case of copy paste lines of code and slight reformats , at the moment i created the boxes to a certain size that holds the flag backgrounds

and made both the same size for parity , depending on the font size you want to use depends on the amount of info you want to display , the boxes are 250×130  in dimension but you could make them bigger or smaller ,but changing the size would mean you would have to re align the text within.  also consider if for instance like sailor said above he likes to see min-max tier for each tank , this does not have to be included in the existing text blocks , it can be any size or font,clor anywhere on the screen here are three possible places you could add it outside of the panels ,(photoshopped on top of image for example)

lol keep doing it  i went back today and did a bit on this , primary there were two suggestions above by members so i seen if i could do this,

first suggestion to make flags more transparent and remove the boxes ,tick that one ,after doing this i decided to flip the left side flag over so both dont show the same way. i also added background to the clock but its disabled for now as i didnt like it took out make and model of tank in tank stats and added Marks on gun progression (suggestion 2) .

click on image for full size

[soulza]

its the little ideas that spark something within  i want to go along the lines with the clock of doing a cutout overlay for day,date and time and then use a digital font so it appears that its a panel but infact its an overlay over the info if that makes sense? 

[soulza]

yes its possible its just a case of switching backgrounds to false for off ,and setting the alpha if you want transparent ,but i will not be doing it ,i made these to see if they could be done if others want to alter these its fine by me but i dont really want to make something i am not going to use myself.

added fruit and moved items around

[soulza]

this is starting to look good what started as a clock mod is evolving into selected tank stats lol , got the flags sorted

 

[soulza]

yes it is possible to add what i want to the panels and as many panels as i want,just added a bit of info about the selected tank and all is good , now i need to make it sexy

[soulza]

wn8 is there now on the left side ,the flags i have redon ,will take screenshots , pay no attention to the flag images as i will get better ones , but i think ,(think is a little word that means much)

i think its possible to display any info that is displayed in the carosuel  anywhere on the screen including the panel i have the flag and time in.

so this info or any part of it ,can be displayed be it with a different font and size and formatted to fit.so the flag could be semi transparent and info on the tank you selected shoing in the panel.

if i used the same size panel as i have for the stats , i can then move the time to the center of the screen making everything line up.

[soulza]

sorted it be it images are not the best i need to find better flags will try in morning,

 

 

all you need to do is add this to your clock background routine

 “format”: “<img src=’cfg://soulzaskehoblue/img/nation/{{v.nation}}.png’ width=’250′ height=’159′>”

of course with your own path to the image folder

[soulza]

while reading Hawgs post in his section about different clock backgrounds i had an idea , today i put that idea into action and started out to see if i could improve on it ,the idea was Hawgs and i have always said the idea is 90% of the challenge. so looking at his mod it only allows you to display one image at a time on your clock in hanger background i wanted it to auto change when you selected a tank from each nation ,after hours of trial and error i had a brain fart and a super DOH!!! moment , its not the finished product but you can see it can be quite effective and very easy to do when i realised how to do it.

better flag images would be good , i do have an idea for that and will try to get them done in the morning
