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. There are battles, garage, settings, sound, fullscreen mode and help buttons. There is also a panel of rank and crystals, but these are mainly for decoration purposes.

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

List of maps

• 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

• 5 types of gravity: Default, Space, Moon, Madness и Madness 2.
