World of Tanks Blitz mods installer
Motivation
I created this script firstly because I wanted to automate my mods installations, knowing that every single update, I had to install them again... And well, why not give others the ability to automatically install them too?
Prerequisites
1) Playing on a computer or laptop, Windows or Mac
This script is, for now, only available on Windows and Mac. No matter if you installed the game with the App Store or Steam. It might be extanded to Linux in the future if needed.
2) Having NodeJS installed
This script uses NodeJS to handle the installation. You can install NodeJS on their official website.
Installation
Nothing simpler! either run npm install -g wotb-mods
or clone this repository.
How to use it
After you've install it globally, you'll be able to use the wotb
command in your terminal.
If you get a permission problem, add sudo
followed by a space before the command.
This command has several flags :
--install
or-i
is used to install mods, you can specify some arguments to choose the mods:
crewm
- PC crew voices malecrewf
- PC crew voices femalecrewc
- PC crew voices customguns
- PC gun soundstechtree
- Extended tech treeavatar
- Avatar image changeprofilebg
- Profile background image change
If you don't specify any argument, the script will install the PC crew voices male, PC gun sounds and Extended tech tree mods by default.
The PC crew voices custom will allow you to choose the nations you want the female voices for.
The particularity of the avatar
and profilebg
mods
These two features of the game are stored in the image cache folder of the game. Thus, it's not renewed with every updates. This script will ask you to search for the file name of your current avatar or profile background. You can find them there :
For Windows
C:/Users/{yourUsername}/Documents/DAVAProjects/image_cache
For Mac
/Users/{yourUsername}/Library/Containers/net.wargaming.wotblitz.macos/Data/Documents/DAVAProject/image_cache
You will also have to put the images you want to use as an avatar in Mods/Avatar
(same with the profile background in Mods/Background
), located on the path above-mentioned.
NB : you can't install mods using the script if you already installed mods with this same script. If you try to do so, you will be given the choice to either uninstall all the old mods first and then install the new mods or stop the installation.
