ProTLVK
ProTanki Level Viewer Kit (ProTLVK) — a special tool that allows players to test different maps.
Often used by map makers and content creators for art.
How to use it?
The main panel is very similar to ProTanki. There are battles, garage, settings, sound, fullscreen mode and help buttons. There is also a rank and crystals panel, but these are mainly for decoration.
In the middle, there are map settings, where you can select a specific map, skybox, gravity and billboard.
