ProTanki Level Viewer Kit (ProTLVK) — a special tool that gives players an opportunity to test different maps.

Often used by map makers and content creators for art.

How to use?

The main panel looks very similar to ProTanki one. There are battles, garage, settings, sound, fullscreen mode and help buttons. There is also a panel of rank and crystals, though they mainly serve for decoration.

In the center there are map options, where you can select a specific map, skybox, gravity and billboard.

Setting up the map

---

Map list

• Maps are subdivided into 4 categories: summer, winter, holiday and test.
• Test maps could appear on the main server.

Skyboxes

• By changing the skybox, the lighting on the map also changes.
• Skyboxes also have 4 categories similarly to maps.
• Skyboxes with a number prefix at the end only differ in the direction of the shadows.

Gravity

• By clicking on the button, you can change the gravity of the map.
• 5 types of gravity: Default, Space, Moon, Madness и Madness 2.

Billboard

• When you click on the button, you can select the billboard of any holiday.

Launching the map

• To start the map, press the "Launch" button.

Now you can do whatever you want: adding tanks, gold boxes, and even more.
