if starwars is not going to have a workshop, lets start it all on the Aoe2 workshop terrain, units and more....:steamhappy: This is a good start

This was my favourite terrain skin, but it never updated. Sad!

Can you please update this?

Please please update this to work with the latest patch
I really wanna use this with your other space themed mods so I can have my game look like Starcraft

As I said I'll also take a look at tweaking the existing content - any terrains you think could need a little work on them to optimize them? :)
General Pinochet 19 Nov, 2015 @ 4:21pm 
Thanks for updating your mods, I'm waiting patiently for the others
Ozhara  [author] 7 Nov, 2015 @ 1:03am 
Still working on all remaining mods not upgraded yet.
But with AK I'm also working on adding those new terrains to each of my packs.
Therefore I can't give you an exact time frame for each mod.

Right now I'm still planning on getting them all up to date within this year.

Update when? This and your berries are the only mods that I'm missing for the Space Pack.

Thanks in advance
Ozhara  [author] 21 Jul, 2015 @ 10:18pm 
Sure.

And with the upgrade to the new steam workshop system (coming in the near future, I just have to upgrade some more, so it takes some time) I will also update the terrains content wise (which didn't work before).

Is this mod still being updated?

This I gotta try! haha :D

Something like that. ;)

There are several objects left I would want to change at some time (cliffs for example and all flowers and stuff), but there were that much requests for other stuff and AoM, that I just didn't find the time to work on them for now.
And for replacing units is one of the most time consuming things in AoE, I don't think there'll be a replacement for them.
I thought about using some units out of Star Wars - Galactic Battlefront, but it doesn't work when using flying units for AoE only has seperate shadows for buildings. So shadows of flying units would be part of the unit in AoE and therefore overlap with other objects just like the unit itself...

Sooo it's starcraft with some medieval dudes hitting buildings until they burn with th oxygen that is totally there?

Das kann ich nicht genau sagen, aber der letzte Alpha-Download ist von voer 2 Jahren.
Und die FE Mod hat ihre Anfänge in 2011.

Die Unit Resking mod wurde von einer Person gemacht (unter Verwendung von 3D Modellen, was wenn man Ahnung hat deutlich schneller geht, da man nicht jedes Bild einzeln zeichnen, sondern 'nur' die Modelle/Texturen basteln muss) und hat mit einem Umfang von ca 75% aller Original-Einheiten ungefähr ein halbes Jahr benötigt.

Terrains sind dagegen was Zeit und Aufwand angeht winzig. :D:

For a whole si-fi mod I really would need a team.

But this started more or less to 'relax', to do something different and to show what's possible.

In case some people would do some of the still missing parts, this would be great, but I don't want this to become a real 'project' - at least not with me beeing involved.
This would destroy the relaxed part of it.

Even my list of soundtrack requests - which is nothing more than a list of requests I'm working at - feels a bit like 'work' now.

Just from the amount of requests.

For this list it's ok, but I don't want more work/obligation than that. :D:
There are enough (not exactly here) dead mod projects out there. We don't need another one.
DonSonny90 27 Feb, 2014 @ 10:36am 
Ok, also scheint ja doch eine Menge Aufwand zu sein. Wie lange haben dann die Modder an AoE II Battles of Middle Earth dafür gebraucht. Da wurde ja so einiges verändert. Aber das was du bisher an Grafiken eingebaut hast ist schon klasse! ;)
Aliestor 27 Feb, 2014 @ 9:08am 
If some stuff is too time consuming you should try to make a team :)
Ozhara  [author] 27 Feb, 2014 @ 7:42am 
Davon und von Starcraft ist das ganze auch inspiriert. :)

Ein Austausch sämtlicher Grafiken wäre in der Tat super, aber leider ist das ziemlich aufwändig/umfangreich, daher habe ich auch angefangen einzelne Elemente zu veröffentlichen.

So braucht man etwa pro Einheit ca 50 Bilder, und Gebäude mit beweglichen Teilen haben auch eine ganze Menge Bilder.
Ohne die Spielmechanik anzupassen müsste ich die Menge der Bilder 1:1 beibehalten.

Dazu kommt, dass Gebäude und Einheiten auf die AoE-Palette mit 256 Farben begrenzt sind und man tatsächlich pixelgenau arbeiten muss. Die normalen Farben kann man einfach konvertieren, doch Stellen mit Spielefarbe müssen exakte RGB-Werte haben um zu funktionieren...
DonSonny90 27 Feb, 2014 @ 7:33am 
Mit futuristischen gebäuden wäre das echt der Hammer, erinnert mich an Empire Earth an das Weltraumzeitalter.
Ozhara  [author] 19 Dec, 2013 @ 9:22pm 
That was my aim at first, but for units are really time consuming, I think I'll 'just' try to finish all terrain objects and perhaps some buildings. But that could also fit some postapocalyptic setting were everyone is thrown back to the dark ages... :)
Aliestor 19 Dec, 2013 @ 1:58pm 
This is interesting.. reskin everything and you have a proper space game :P
Kenny 5 Oct, 2013 @ 5:44am 
i understand your point of view, i'm nota hater no worries :o i just noticed that it was looking the same, but i admit u did a good job on it so hope u can keep it up :) and could you maybe make a texture pack based on game of thrones? would be really epic if u could do that, but i know it would take alot of work, but it would be really nice tho and i dont think i would be the only one downloading it c:
Ozhara  [author] 5 Oct, 2013 @ 5:30am 
Some of the game objects I use are from that game, right. But a lot of them are edited/recolored. The terrains are definatelly different looking.^^

And yes, for they use the same engine (wasn't it a different studio that developed SW GB?), using the graphics is relatively easy.
But as the game uses different terrain/civ counts a different ressource and unit-shadow system and such, you have to have a look on what you can use in what case without changes in game mechanic... And I don't want to just recreate SW GB in AoE. If that game has cool graphics for a specific part I want to do, I'll take them, but not just for using SW GB graphics.
Kenny 5 Oct, 2013 @ 4:34am 
i know the point of what u make is, but im just saying this looks exactly the same and the game is also from the makers of AoE2 so it would be really easy to just copy paste some files
Ozhara  [author] 5 Oct, 2013 @ 3:33am 
The terrains are made by me, no pixel of that game in them. :)
And the idea was to do something with AoE, not to play another game. ;)

This way, beside doing some 'different' modding stuff, you can play one game but it feels like you want it to. You can play on steam with all your friends using the same game, but actually change the theme/feel of it.
Kenny 5 Oct, 2013 @ 3:18am 
uhm, all the stuff i saw so far looks like it's straight from star wars galactic conquest, maybe a game to buy if u all like this so much :d
Ozhara  [author] 6 Sep, 2013 @ 10:15am 
Vielen Dank! :)
Bandit 6 Sep, 2013 @ 10:12am 
das pack ist geil!
Ozhara  [author] 4 Sep, 2013 @ 11:51pm 
They are simply the best looking crystals I found so far. :D
But the 'special trees' - that can be placed in the Editor as Tree A-L, have seperate graphics.
Thought they deserve a recognizable different shape. So they all use different colored graphics out of Age of Wonders 2.

Nova crystals. Never enough Nova crystals...
Ozhara  [author] 2 Sep, 2013 @ 9:23am 
Yeah, I know that game and even used some graphics of it as a base for trees and crystals and such, but never played it.^^
The terrains are definatelly made by me.

I know it's a bit uncommon this way, and there are a lot of graphics left to be changed as well, but I'm working on it.

Hmm that looks a lot like a starwars game i know ;) But oh well Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds is basically the same as aoe. Just not as awesome ;) Cool Mod/idea though
