What is a .WOTMOD file?
A .WOTMOD file is a special type of file used by the game World of Tanks, which is a game you can play on computers using Windows or macOS. This game lets players control tanks and battle each other online. The .WOTMOD file helps players change how the game works or looks. For example, they can use it to change the types of tanks, the weapons they use, or what the gun sights look like.
Inside a .WOTMOD file, there are many smaller files, like .DDS and .PDN files, all squished together in a way that makes them take up less space, similar to how a Zip file works. To use a .WOTMOD file in World of Tanks, players usually download these files from websites where other players share their own game modifications. After downloading, players need to move the .WOTMOD file into a specific folder named "mods" that's in the place where the game is installed on their computer. Once the file is in the right place, the game will know to use it, and the player will see the changes when they play.
Even though these files are made for World of Tanks, they're really just Zip files with a different name. This means if you want to see what's inside a .WOTMOD file without putting it in the game, you can. You'd need to change the file's name, replacing ".wotmod" with ".zip". After that, you can open it with a program that works with Zip files, like 7-Zip, WinRAR, or the Archive Utility on a Mac. This lets you look at or use the files inside without affecting your game.
