control
To control the mod is mainly used only the right mouse button. By holding down the right mouse button, you allow the mod to adjust the target instead of manual adjustments and to launch torpedoes,missiles or bombs.
For the automatic adjustment and automatic reset function to work, all aircraft must be calibrated. Calibration of a particular type of aircraft should be performed with each purchase of a new aircraft carrier or replacement of aircraft on it. The easiest way to calibrate is to create a closed training room and add bots there. After starting a training battle to raise each type of aircraft in the air and perform them on the calibration of movement and shooting. To do this, by default, the fashion reserved key "P". When you click on that you will see in the battle chat the necessary instructions for calibration. The essence of these instructions is that first, the aircraft themselves are rotated to a certain angle without the player, and then the player is required to launch missiles, torpedoes or bombs to calibrate the reset time. Calibration of the time of dropping bombs or launching torpedoes / missiles allows more accurate calculation of the lead. Upon completion of the calibration of all aircraft can leave the training room and go into a normal battle. Or all the calibration can be done directly in battle, but you will spend some time.

Display the attack lead on the target and commit the target:
In order to select the target on the screen - move the center of the screen to the desired enemy ship and see the orange lead line for the current type of aircraft. The end of the lead line is the point of guidance for the aircraft. When you press and hold the right mouse button-the target will not change. You can also lock the selected target by pressing the "space". After that you will see the corresponding message in the game chat. This may be necessary when the attack on the enemy ship, you release the right mouse button to use the control keys of the aircraft to go to the desired course, but if at the time of clamping the right mouse button next to the center of the screen will be another enemy ship, the goal will be considered it, because it is closer to the center of the screen. And if you fix the target ,seeing that it appeared on the lead line, the key "SPACE", until the moment of fixing the target with the same key or the departure of the target from the light or return to the ship - the last selected target will be displayed with anticipation. And now you can safely perform manoeuvres for re-entry at the target for example, or for re-reset.
Control of automatic adjustment of the aiming and auto-reset:
Each type of aircraft automatically adjusts to the lead point when the right mouse button is pressed, that is, at the end of the orange line.
At the time of automatic adjustment, only the aircraft speed control keys and the reset key work. The rotate keys and mouse will not work. Because of this, it may be inconvenient to observe the drop procedure (especially bombers). When you hold down the right mouse button, you will see a red, green and blue line in the direction of the target. The red line shows the direction of your aircraft. Green shows the direction of the lead point, and blue - the direction of the sight of the game. Ideally, when attacking, these lines should merge with each other or be close to each other. Therefore, when a sharp maneuver and hold the right mouse button to adjust-the game sight can be a little shake from side to side.

Attack different types of aircraft.
Attack aircraft:
Stormtroopers preferably enter perpendicular to the hull of the enemy for more damage, but slightly in front of the point lead. Otherwise, at the time of launching the missiles, the aircraft will not be perpendicular to the body of the enemy ship, but at some angle. The beginning you choose so that you have enough time for complete mixing and still had a little time to adjust guidance. Start the attack (by pressing the left mouse button) perform themselves, and then hold down the right mouse button, look at the adjustment and wait for the launch of missiles. By releasing the right mouse button you stop the adjustment and reset process, but it can be resumed again if the distance to the reset point still allows. At this time, you can increase or decrease the speed of the aircraft to quickly finish the attack until they are hit by air defense.

Torpedo bomber:
Their guidance and attack is similar to the same procedure as the stormtroopers. That is, first, you approximately direct the aircraft perpendicular to the body of the enemy ship, start the attack by clicking the left mouse button and hold the right mouse button until the torpedoes start. At this time, you can increase or decrease the speed of the aircraft to quickly finish the attack until they were shot down by air defense.

Bombers:
In the case of a bomber attack, the process of attack and reset is performed by the mod and you only need to bring the ellipse of the sight to the point of pre-emption and hold the right mouse button. The mod itself will start the attack at the time of coincidence of the point of pre-emption and the elliptical sight and drop the bomb if the enemy ship at the time of full information of the sight will be located under the sight. If the enemy abruptly changes course or slows down/accelerates, then it is impossible to guarantee a successful reset and you will have to go again to the target for the attack. Bombers naturally desirable to go from the stern. You can with the nose of the enemy ship, but the stern will be more time for adjustment, as the planes catch up with the ship ,not moving towards him. Side attacks can also bring some damage, but keep in mind that the ellipse of the sight in the case of dropping bombs is not the entire area above the ship.

current changes

(click to show/hide)

ship mods have been updated. from the changes:
- in the lead point mod, you can drag the warpack panel to the desired location on the screen. to do this, hover the cursor over the panel and wait a second until it starts to shake. then you can drag it to the desired location on the screen
- also restored the mechanism of the "artillery" camera in this mod. In the settings, you can choose which camera view will be when switching to the art camera at the time of the captured target-the top view or the perspective view. you can also zoom in and out of this view using the mouse wheel or using the Shift key
- the keys for switching auto-fire and the type of target lead have been changed to the K and L keys (by default), so as not to overlap with the game keys for air defense and PMK
- restored the functionality of the mod - squadron commander.
- added the ability to completely reset missiles and torpedoes on the machine (holding down the RMB before the attack, as was done for bombers). that is, now the squadron of missile carriers and torpedo bombers can perform targeting, the beginning of the attack and its completion (launching missiles or dropping torpedoes) - automatically. only with missile carriers, most likely sometimes they will not have time to launch missiles, because they begin the attack at the moment of crossing the lead point with the sight, and during the time of reducing the sight after the start of the attack, they manage to fly a little further than the drop point. therefore it is advisable to start the attack manually or slow down the planes after they start the attack
by the way, when calibrating bombers-perform a reset at the moment when the external reset circle coincides with the internal one, and not later. in principle - the longer the planes do not drop bombs-the lower they go down and the time of falling bombs will also be less than if they are dropped from a height when the information is already complete. but the mod begins to drop bombs exactly at the moment of reaching full information, and an additional delay in calibration will only increase the guidance error. after all, in the case of dropping bombs at the time of full information and if you still give the aircraft a lower descent-the hit area will be the same
- it also restored the display of the enemy ships ' air defense circles

Deleted:
- Enemy "Laser lines" are deleted? because it's not effective in battle.

Added:
- Warpack loading status in the top left corner in harbor.

- Aiming and prediction type panel.
This panel shows current state of mod. It's shows a prediction type, locked target ship and autoshot feature.
Linear prediction icon shows like this.

Linear prediction is more usable to shot on ships that moving without rotation.
Combined prediction icon shows like this.

Combined prediction is more usable to shot on ships that moving with rotation. But combined prediction switched to linear prediction if enemy ship moved without rotation and combined prediction point(in this version) may "jump" in some cases.
To switch prediction type in battle you must press "O" key on keaboard (by default, but it's can be changed in settings.xml in warpack folder. to change this key code - change value attribute of prediction_toggle_hotkey parameter)
Autoshot feature shown on this icon.

To toggle autoshot in battle - use "P" key on keyboard (by default, but it's can be changed in settings.xml in warpack folder. to change this key code - change value attribute of auto_shot_toggle_hotkey parameter)
If this panel not shown after countdown ends - mod are disabled and you must play battle manualy.
Locked target you can see on same panel.

To lock target and unlock it - use right mouse button (by default, but it's can be changed in settings.xml in warpack folder. to change this key code - change value attribute of fix_target_hotkey parameter).
Now target selection process work on this algorithm: Selected nearest target to center of screen (or to mouse cursor - if you hold Ctrl key on keyboard).
Targets on your ship shot distance are marked as blue circle. Targets far this distance marked as red circle. On image below - this marker defined as 2
You can lock this two types of targets (near and far targets).

Prediction point marker shown as 1 and can be two types:
- Red - if you can shoot the target.
- Green - if you can't. (then target is far away or behind a island).

Green or red line started on your ship gun and ended on target - duplicate prediction marker state. It's more visible than prediction marker in arcade game mode. To hide this line in arcade and sniper game mode - change settings.xml parameter show_gun_direction_line_in_arcade_mode in value attribute to false.
For more visible enemy torpedoes - it's added yellow torpedoes direction lines.
To change torpedoes line length you can change torpedo_lines_length parameter in settings.xml file (value attribute). Gray line started from your ship shows your ship direction and can signal about nearest torpedoes

If you play on fast ships you can use a "rainbow" feature. "rainbow" - it's a enemy tracers ends. It's colored by green->blue->yellow->red. Green colour indicate far tracer position from your ship. red colour - nearest tracer (shell) position. This "rainbow" lines may help you to move ship from it.



If you want to disable this feature - change show_rainbow parameter value in settings.xml to false.
"Artillery mode" (free camera) not changed from previews version. It's activated by middle mouse button (by default, but it's can be changed in settings.xml in warpack folder. to change this key code - change value attribute of artillery_mode_hotkey parameter). To use this feature - reassign this hotkey (middle mouse button) in game settings.


Image definitions:
1 - your ship direction marker
2 - your ship gun direction marker
3 - your ship gun direction aim point marker
4 - locked target
5 - prediction point
6 - enemy ship last trajectory
7 - enemy ship direction
8 - torpedoes trajectory
To change zoom range in "Artillery mode" you must change following parameters in settings.xml (min_art_mode_height and max_art_mode_height).

mod updated:

(click to show/hide)

added prediction point manual horizontal offset.
"prediction point forward hotkey" - move prediction point forward from ship center
"prediction point backward hotkey" - move prediction point backward from ship center
these parameters control "prediction point horizontal offset type" parameter value:
   "in percents of enemy ship length" from -200% to +200%
   "in meters" - from -30 meters to +30 meters

added parameter
"show mini-markers on enemy ships" - takes a three choses:
   "not shown"
   "show distance" - show distance to shot range to enemy
   "show speed" - show enemy speed
if you press ALT key in battle - second choise appeared on marker or minimarker.
if you show distance on marker by default - ALT mode shows speed and so on

Now warpack button in Dock Shown/Hided by (F12). but warpack game interface in battle not hided yet

New indicators.

1 - show vertical prediction point (PP) offset (for automatic and manual modes - is the point number on ship hull. total 11 points)
2 - shows manual additional PP offset
3 - automatic or manual PP vertical point on ships hull
4 - shell falling angle. if it greater than 20 degrees - you may try to up PP vertical offet to maximum

for ship indicator (3,4) shown - chose automatic or manual mode from:
"prediction point height offset type":
   "old prediction point height offset type" - old vertical PP offset mode.
   "automatic PP height offset type" - automatic regulate vertical PP offset on enemy hull. you can change its value by hotkeys (up and down by default) till next target lock
   "manual PP height offset type" - you can regulate vertical PP offset on enemy hull by hotkeys (up and down by default).

Interface mod in action :

1. Lead point height
2. Type of auto-shot (in turn\of all guns)
3. Type lead straight\combo
4. Auto-shot on indicator
5. The indicator of the offset point lead horizontally
6. Indicator of the height of the lead point on the captured ship and the angle of incidence of shells into the water

for mod developers: you can have only one aim assist version at a lower price? it would be much nicer and more within the reach of the people, look your answer or private message.

Hello, closed the trial? 2 hours
Some of my friends can not seem to try, they can not test if available

re: kiwikev77.....disable any mods you are running.  I run Aslains modpack. When I started the game with WP got the same error msg.  When I removed all mods no problem WP and the game started fine.  Now I have to go and put the mods in one at a time to find out which one(s) are in conflict.

[Northstar54]

Hi ! Is it running with aslain'mod ?

[smokescreen]

try it. but not check fog mod (if it's present in aslains)

[rdb]

The ones I have found that cause problems are "Smoke screen boundaries" and "Alternative Ship HP bar indicator above compass", everything else seems to work out.  I have "Clear Vision" and "Fog Remover" enabled  with no problems.

[kiwikev77]

RE.rdb.... i do not have any other mods installed with WP. It gives me issues connecting sometimes. Then i get a lot of in game freezes when i can finally get in then and thats when i get the error pop up. The 1st time was in port. And it has happened 3/5 times. The only thing i have changed is values for keys and default heights of shot.

[fabiano]

an option to show the speed of enemy ships would be nice to have. otherwise good job so far

[hironohiro]

Hi smokescreen, can you please check the code t oaddress the FPS drop issue? I am having massive FPS drop during games with warpack on. I have no other mod installed.

show place on warpack ship marker or elsewere where i can put this speed marker (draw on screenshot)

[smokescreen]

Hi smokescreen, can you please check the code t oaddress the FPS drop issue? I am having massive FPS drop during games with warpack on. I have no other mod installed.

try to set settings.xml parameter show_common_interface to False and test. this settings remove all warpack draw operations except drawing all prediction points

Hi all, just wondering if anybody else is having a problem starting warpack. It was all running great and I closed out of WOWS, then went to play later on but the start button would not turn yellow to start the game. I closed out of warpack and tried again, same thing. So I deleted the settings file etc and reopened warpack, entered my Key and path to game then it all started fine.

Thought I would try shutting it down and restart it, same thing happened again.

I am not running any other mods etc just warpack.

I'm having trouble.  The demo ran OK, but when I bought a license, A) there is no new entry in the Keys page, B) The launcher auto-loaded a Key, but it is the same as for WoT, and C) Warpack does not work in WoWS.

Any ideas?
