Lets people on limited data stop the Tankopedia from downloading 3D models automatically. - Added an Automatically load 3D models switch to the settings page, on by default - When off, the tank page hero shows a Load 3D model button where the loading bar sits - Held back every model download on the tank page until requested, including the dynamic armor switcher and the gun flexibility visualizer - Wrapped the tank sandbox in its own suspense boundary so the loading bar shows real progress instead of the whole page waiting on the model - Measured loading progress from when each loading bar appears so it always starts empty - Added the English strings; other languages fall back until translated Fixes #311
BlitzKit
Your Blitz experience, elevated. https://blitzkit.app/.
Developing: Prerequisites
There's a few things you'll need to get started. If this is your first time working with BlitzKit, it's completely safe to ignore all optional prerequisites below to get things running as quickly as possible.
Bun
Bun is the package manager and runtime that BlitzKit uses.
Ideally, you should also uninstall Node.js if you have it installed to avoid any cases where Node.js is used to run code instead of Bun which happens in some cases. But, this is not required and is unlikely to cause issues.
Protocol Buffer
BlitzKit uses Protocol Buffer's protoc CLI to generate efficiently packed data structures to serve data to clients in place of JSON.
World of Tanks Blitz
You will need a local installation of World of Tanks Blitz for BlitzKit to build off.
aria2 (Optional)
If you plan to use BlitzKit's client-management CLI for BlitzKit Previews, you will need to get aria2 to speed up your downloads.
libarchive (Optional)
If you plan to use BlitzKit's client-management CLI for BlitzKit OpenTests, you will need to get libarchive to keep your downloads completely in-memory.
Linux (Optional)
All work on BlitzKit is done on Linux and macOS. It is theoretically possible to work on Windows; please feel free to try and share your discoveries with us!
Developing: Setting Up
Start by cloning the repository and changing directories.
git clone https://github.com/blitzkit/blitzkit.git
cd blitzkit
Note
There is a closed source submodule under
packages/closedthat you can safely ignore. This sole purpose of this submodule is to providedvp.ts, a proprietary Wargaming game asset tree compression tool. You will not need this at any point.
Then, download the dependencies with Bun.
bun install
Finally, compile the proto files into TypeScript.
build build-protos
Developing: Environment
Go through the different packages in the packages directory and clone their respective template.env's to .env files. Follow the instructions in the .env files to fill them out as much as you can.
Developing: Running
Launching the website is as easy as running the dev script.
bun dev
If you ever make a change to any proto file, make sure to rebuild them.
build build-protos
