Custom Over Target Markers (exclusive)
Over target marker shows tank tier, tank class, tank name and remaining HP on that tank. JdgDReDD's custom color coded additions to the over target markers (tick Marks beside HP remaining value) in the over target markers, allow you to gauge who you're up against and who you're playing along side. The left tick (beside the tanks remaining hp) is color coded to the players over all wn8, the right tick (beside the tanks remaining hp), is the players damage efficiency in that vehicle (xte). Both markers are color coded as follows ... Worst to Best: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple.
Holding alt shows Player name, Health Bar and 4 digit WN8 rating.
The enemy text has a better shadow color and larger font for greater visibility.

1) **Important, For a clean install, make sure to either delete or move your "res_mods" and "mods" folders. The default location for these folders is C:\Games\World_of_Tanks\
OR
The "res_mods" AND "mods" folders must be empty except for the numbered folder that matches the current version of World of Tanks. "1.4.0.1" for example (the folder with the highest numerical value is the newest version of the game and older folders can and should be deleted).
2) **Installation - Download the zip file and Extract (or copy/paste) the 2 mod files to the World_of_tanks folder on your computer. The default location for these folders is C:\Games\World_of_Tanks\
3) Activate XvM - go to the XvM Website, activate your XvM - click "Activate Services" and "Update Statistics" buttons in the top middle of the window, and then choose your options by clicking the "Settings" button which controls the wn8 values displayed in game. (Game restart required)
4) **WoT settings - Go In Game to the WoT settings - (First) Goto general tab, then scroll down to the bottom right and select "always" for enhanced features on the mini map.

Installation Tips & Tricks
Fresh install every Major patch (if you have the bandwidth!!) Save yourself a few headaches, about 25% of the time the Update is the nearly the same size as the full install. To do this browse to C:\Games, right click World_of_Tanks, right click and select delete, then download the full client again(or you can uninstall the normal way through control panel). Pls note, you can have multiple installs of world of tanks, just copy and paste the main wot folder.
Empty your updates folder, delete old versions of WoT mods and delete old replays/screenshots
First browse to C:\Games\World_of_Tanks\res_mods and C:\Games\World_of_Tanks\mods and delete all numbered files except the highest one, which is the current version. (eg 0.9.15, 0.9.15.1, 0.9.15.2 etc). Then browse to C:\Games\World_of_Tanks\ and empty the following folders:
a) Updates - everything in this folder is a "run once" deal and can be deleted the second the Game Center is done updating your game. (potentially free up gigs of space)
b) screenshots - from pressing "print screen" in game
c) replays - dependent on WoT settings whether replays are being recorded and saved.
(setting C Cleaner or a similar program to clean these files automatically works well)
Defrag Your Hard Drive (except if you have SSD)
Large files can slow loading and running of programs, defragging places them in optimal positions on the drive to aid loading and running. (open my computer, right click your C drive and click properties, then tools tab)
XvM can be restored to default settings in any pack by simply deleting the file "xvm.xc" file located in "C:\Games\World_of_Tanks\res_mods\configs\xvm" folder.
FOR THE RECORD: my xvm full, Lite or vanilla packages can be installed OVER any other config you're running.
