Configuring a War Thunder Sight BLK File

Use block { parameter:type = value }; blocks may contain nested blocks. t is text, r real, i integer, b boolean, and p2/p3/p4 hold 2/3/4 values. A wrong type or nesting level can make a field unreadable.

  crosshairHorVertSize:p2=3, 2
  fontSizeMult:r=1
  lineSizeMult:r=1
  drawCentralLineVert:b=yes
  drawCentralLineHorz:b=yes
  crosshairColor:c=0, 0, 0, 0
  crosshair_distances {
    distance:p3=200, 0, 0
  }
  drawLines {
    line {
      line:p4=0, -2, 0, 2
      move:b=no
    }
  }

crosshairHorVertSize sets size; drawCentralLineVert enables the vertical center; line:p4 is X1,Y1,X2,Y2; distance:p3 adds a range entry.

drawLines uses line:p4; +X right, -X left, +Y down, -Y up. drawTexts pairs text with pos:p2. drawQuads uses tl, tr, br, bl; the template may include thousandth:b. crosshair_hor_ranges contains range:p2. Keep ballistics/bullet fields such as bulletType, speed, distancePos and textPos aligned with the official template. matchExpClass supports exp_tank, exp_heavy_tank, exp_tank_destroyer and exp_SPAA.

Add one line

Open the .blk, find drawLines, duplicate a line, edit X1/Y1/X2/Y2, save and test. Before: line:p4=0, -2, 0, 2. After: line:p4=4, -1, 4, 1.

Change color

Change crosshairColor:c=0, 0, 0, 0 to crosshairColor:c=1, 0, 0, 0. Keep a backup and verify in a test drive.
