0.8.7 Crew Manager!
This program is designed to help manage several hundred different crew icons all at the same time, so that crew icons can be swiftly and easily changed.
This manager was created so that icon packs people release can easily be shared and intermixed with other icon packs, on an individual crew member basis without the user having to hunt through and rename a bunch of files. The manager does it for you!
Replace tank crews of different nationalities! Add your own custom icons! Mix and match icon packs!

What it looks when you start the program, after selecting which nation's icons you want to change!

After you click on the crewman, you are present with several pages like this of crewmen to chose from!

Having selected a Chinese man, and American, and Rarity (optional Pony Plus Pack contains tons of ponies!), I then clicked the huge write button to make the changes permanent.

All the ponies included in the Pony Plus Pack and the Pony Add-in pack!

HOW TO UPDATE (v0.7.2 and later. 0.7.1 users will need to redownload)
You can now just copy/paste directly over the old folder, and all your settings will remain! Just follow normal install instructions.

Installing custom crew icons

In order to add new icons to be used by the crew manager, you must create 3 images.
All three images MUST use the same name. The recommended naming pattern should be:
"<reference>-<character name>-<season-episode-other>-<Author's name>.<filetype>"
For example, if I was creating an icon of Captain Kirk from Star Trek, Wrath of Khan it would be named:
STTOS-Kirk-ST2-Yozozo.png
For example, if I was creating an icon of Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony:Friendship is magic,
it would be named:
MLP-Twilight Sparkle-s2e20-Yozozo.png
Barracks Icon:
Create a 100 x 60 .png of the character with an alpha channel.
Place it in the Crew Manager\Icons\Barracks folder.
Garage Icon:
Create a 100 x 60 .png of the character with an alpha channel.
Place it in the Crew Manager\Icons\Small folder.
Personel Folder Icon:
Create a 158 x 118 .png of the character with an alpha channel.
Place it in the Crew Manger\Icons\Big folder.
When next you run the Crew Manager.exe, the new icons will show up.

I approve this mod. Pretty awesome, and I find the GUI simple, well, for myself. I'm not exactly a brony, but I downloaded the pony packs for the hell of it.

[RelicShadow]

Nicely done mate Simple to use and pretty straight forward.

Gonna be a little annoying now
Any way you could possibly make something similar for tank skins?

I tried my best to make skin changing as painless as possible by adding previews but it still involves copy-paste
Something like this would certainly be an improvement.

[Raindrops]

Very nice - a very handy tool, and sure to expedite all my crew-swapping in the future, if it were not for the fact I can't use it.
I downloaded it a couple times, but when running the program, it won't display any more than 30 crew icons on-screen at a time, which would be fine, but it also displays only 25 when selecting a replacement. There is no scrolling, "next page" options, or arrow key control as far as I can tell. On top of that, "Load" just gives me a blank screen, and there is no "WRITE!" button as per the readme.
Just what exactly did I do wrong here? Any ideas?

[iPokeTanksWithSpoons]

Using it and working well so far! Any chance I can have your permission to upload this to [url=http://worldoftanks....smods.com]World of Tanks Nexus[url], or better you, any chance you can upload it so you can keep your downloads updated perfectly? Of course all credit will go to you for your work, either way

Issue resolved!

[Raindrops]

I'm willing to bet it's a resolution problem. Everything apparently is working fine, except for things that are supposed to be on the bottom. (Wright, defaults, next, and even America's extra line of crew icons is trimmed neatly across the tops. I'll see if I can fiddle with the settings, and be back to report soon.

*edit* So far, no luck. Compatibility settings change nothing, and my screen resolution can only be adjusted down, obscuring more of the program. I run a 1366 x 768, 15" monitor, and it seems to be about 1" shy of properly displaying. Alt moving the window only shows me that the window was resized to fit the screen, (still cutting off the bottom)but once released, the window snaps back to filling the screen, not allowing me to resize it to reveal the hidden options.

I'm gonna see what I can do about adding a scroll bar to it, so you can resize and scroll around. I'll let you know. Silly me, how dare I assume people aren't running in 1080!

[Raindrops]

Well, I'd much rather be running in a higher resolution, believe me, but cost came before display size when I purchased this computer. But seeing as everyone else has been running just fine, I guess I'm the only one squinting at the microscopic tanks on my screen.

[Yozozo]

Fix is uploaded. Files are replaced. Redownload and enjoy!
Scroll buttons added, just click the borders to resize and you should be good!

[Raindrops]

You are a gentleman and a scholar, and a decent programmer too boot. It is helpful and easy to use, looks to be easy to add extra icons, and you also quickly modified it according to the feedback of the one player having problems. 100% awesome in my book.
Works fine now. Ponies rampage across the battlefield once more!

More than that, like it says in the first post, it lets you rearrange your crew to ANY crew member from ANY nation to ANY nation.

Also, it is my hope people use the fileformat in here to easily add to it. It is designed so that if you have a few icons you want to share with people, you just create the 4 files that the game would use, upload those, and add them into the program really easy. Instructions on how to are again in the first post, and also in the readme files.

0.7.4 Crew Manager Basic:
Content removed
This version of the program contains the original World of Tanks tank crew icons, that you can mix and match to your hearts content!

With this download, everything works wonders, but it will only read my images if I name them "image.pn.png"

The ".pn.png" is the only way it reads if the picture is there or not and will not accept any .png files unless I rename them (even the vanilla pictures). Is there any way I can fix this?

Love the mod by the way. Keep up the amazing work

I'll take a look as soon as I get back from work. Shouldn't be doing that! Just make sure that all 3 files in the different folders have the *exact* same name.
