Following the v1.8 Update for Volume 1, this mod will also be receiving a future update at some point to reduce fog/bloom/sun glare to improve quality of life as well as modify some visuals and add rain. Please be aware there is no ETA On when this will be done however.
Like the original Revamped Skies, this mod includes changes to almost all available maps in the game, reworking map ambience and altering the skyboxes to give each map a new feel to it: this does NOT include event maps/hangars and will not. This includes:
– the default Hangar
– all 43 Random Battle maps
– all 3 Frontline maps
Here is an Imgur album showing a preview for every map: https://imgur.com/a/wot-revamped-skies-volume-2-mod-preview-RYMHj24
If you like the mod, try checking out my other skybox mods:
– Revamped Skies Volume 1
– Revamped Skies Volume 3
– Aslain’s Night Sky Edit
If you are unsure which mod to use, or just like variety, I recommend trying out this mod: Skybox Randomizer
I must include some “issues” for transparency:
– Reflective surfaces (notably water) still mostly reflect the ORIGINAL map appearance. This can look funny but should be for the most part irrelevant
– Ambient map effects such as Airfield’s offshore lightning still happen despite the different settings and might look silly, but not something I could fix so you’ll have to ignore it
– like Himmelsdorf in the original Revamped Skies, (small) Ensk seems to have a lighting issue that requires you to enter sniper mode to make the map use the correct lighting. I have no idea why this happens or how to actually fix it, but yeah, just entering sniper mode will correct it
– While not necessarily an issue I want to make sure you’re aware that altering the feel of the map can potentially lead to some disorientation. Again I apologise for this in advance
– Since this has been a constant issue: if you’re running this with any other skybox mod (namely No Fog/Sun Glare in Aslain’s), it WILL cause issues with the skybox. Do not try to run this alongside any other sky-related mod
As a final note, this mod is NOT intended as a replacement for the original Revamped Skies mod, but simply an alternate take on every map. You can comfortably continue using the original mod if you aren’t a fan of this one, or change between the two to try to make the game feel a bit more fresh.
Installation
To install drag or extract the included .wotmod file into your WoT Game files and place it in the [PATCH FOLDER] in “mods”. For example: C:GamesWorld_of_Tanksmods1.29.1.0[WOTMOD GOES HERE]
This mod should work fine even with new updates outside of new maps being added. Even with serious map redesigns it shouldn’t run into any problems. If you want to preview it without launching into an actual battle you can always use the Topography Mode to preview a number of maps.
