A few years ago, there was a reasonably popular visual overhaul mod called ReShade that caused a lot of players to get hit with false positive game bans because it modified dll files in a similar way that some cheating programs might and/or could be harmful with malicious intent. There's a chance that one of them could generate a false positive, but if it's a mod available through the forums it can be disputed and shouldn't result in a permanent account strike. Aslains doesn't come with that level of guarantee, but as it is a) available in the mods section on the official forums (which require WG approval to post), and b) generally going to be a collection of mods also available via the official forums, all of the included mods are considered approved. The ModStation is 'curated' by WG from popular mods, and therefore comes with a guarantee that anything they include is approved and will not flag on illegal mods checks. I hope the old navigator gets updated soon.If you want to use a mod for the game client, use the ModStation installer, or mods that can be downloaded from our official forum.Īslains is available on the official forums, so it’s legal.Įdit to add further detail: Here's a comment from one of the WG EU Community Managers specifically talking about Aslains.

The old mod did this subtraction for you and only ever displayed angles of 0-90 degrees which was definitely better. This means halfway through a turn you have to begin doing mental math (180-the number displayed) to get the true impact angle of shells. But now 2 ships pointing their sterns at each other show an angle of 180 degrees.

In the new mod, the angles are calculated based on where your bow is pointing ie 2 ships pointing their bows at each other display an angle of 0 just like before. The original navigator mod, both your angle and the enemy ship angle was calculated from the vertical axis independent of the direction the ships were facing ie 2 ships pointing their bows at each other would both display an angle of 0 degrees and 2 ships pointing their sterns at each other would also show an angle of 0 degrees. The new mod is worse because it doesn't calculate the angles the same way as the original. Navigator and the movement indicator one were combined into a new one (Battle Expert).
