I agree with Ali. The stone looks great!
But the gold is meh. I doubt you'd find a great deal of gold-plated rocks in the wild like that :P I do get the need for clarity, though, but 'normal rocks' (though different from the stone rocks) with gold veins would look sightly better, imo. Or, maybe even better/original/innovative, small rocks with piles of sand and a stack of gold bars?

Thanks a lot for the feedback!
I'll definately go into that direction with v7 then. :)

I agree with Zerakz. I think the colour is more realistic than your v6 in this one, and it would be even lovlier if the gold was distributed in patches/viens like real life. Thanks for making these mods Ozhara :)

great to hear you like them.

maybe for v7 :)

Best mine replacement out there.
I just wish the gold rocks weren't pure gold and had veins,
like a mix of V5's gold effect and V6's veins.

New mines available: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=426323525

Nothing for now. But there will definatelly be some new ones later. :)

Have you got a new version ? V5.5 or V6 to upload ?
Friendly ;)

Thanks! :)

The texture on the stones is really good too Ozhara.

Thanks a lot!
Glad you like my stuff.

Just like everyone said Good job Ozhara. You got an eye for these things. You are one of the greatest makers of Texture Packs. I adore every single one.

Thanks a lot!

Glad you like it.

The gold looks like actual gold nuggets. Great job Ozhara. I think its your best gold mod yet.

Thanks, glad you like it. :)

really n1 mod;)

Great to hear you like it!

Fantastic work, Ozhara. I'm consistantly impressed, and never surprised by your work.

Cheers, friend. Keep up the badass artistry.

Hmm, good points. I don't want to lose terrain detail so I think outlining graphics and perhaps even incorporating strong lighting effects as in Starcraft II would be the way to go. If only there was a command-line version of Turtle Pack!

Well, the more detailed and the more 'colorfull' the environment, the more 'choppy' the screen gets what makes it more difficult to see these little units against it.

You could solve this by doing terrains/graphics with less detail, larger areas of the same color or just less strong colors so the units stand out more against them. Or, you could add outlinings to all graphics, like in a cartoon... looks... different^^

Haha, I guess I just like my AoE all shiny :P

One thing I've noticed though is that a lot of the high-quality texture mods make it difficult to see units against the terrain. Do you think it would be possible to resolve this issue?

Thats a cool idea - just not sure it really fits in from what the resource is used for... but I'll definatelly take a look at that.

Wow, I really like the metallic look for the gold! It might be interesting to have metallic silver for stone as well!

Thanks, glad you like it. :)

Wow another great mod Ozhara looks awesome! thanks alot ^^ !

Great to hear so!

Hey Ozhara

I managed to install it. :)

Thanks for your help. :D

Well, you can install it manuall.

In case the download by steam worked corrctly, you canfind the mods archive (extensionless zip archive) in AoE\mods, where AoE is your AoE game directory.

Extract the mod to the AoE directory, it will be extracted correctly then.

Hey Ozhara

I tried what you said but after 10 tries i gave up so yes i didnt work. :(

Have you some other solutions how to fix it? :D

Pls tell me if you have some. :)

Thanks, glad you like it. :)

Normally subscribing should be enough.
If this doesn't help, try to not cancel the intro before the chess video starts (Isuppose the setam download was finished?)

Hey Ozhara

I wanted to say that the textures you made look very good. :D

But i have 1 Problem i cannot install this and i dont know why.

If you could help me that would be fantastic. :)

@Philippe le Bon

Thanks, glad you like them. :)

@jorgito_aqua27
Thanks for the feedback!

I'll have a look at the rock you pointed out. For the rock formations, I tried to do my complete own rocks when doing my v3, but it was horrible.^^ Therefore I sticked to the resized default rocks. But maybe I should give it another try now. My skills have definatelly improved since then. :)

It looks good, but not the big ones with the fat rock on the front (in your pic is the botton left one)

The smaller rocks that have less gold attached to them looks awesome ( on the bottom right of your pic), maybe if you cut them down and make your own formation of smaller rocks it will look better instead of using the colored vanilla rocks.

Good luck with it!

I prefer the new v5, good work!

Thank you for the help i managed to change back to v3. I will defenetly look into your mod manager, would save allot of time! Ofc it was critical feedback to help and improve. I really love your work and think you are the best modder around! But to be perfectly clear what i personally would like to see was color like on the picture you published here but cleaner and not so pixly if you know what i meen? Like in v3 which i think is allot cleaner version of the gold. Too my taste v3 is defenetly the coolest so far. I know its not realistic how gold looks in reality (in reality gold is in rocks and nuggets are pointing out too be short, like you have in your other gold mod). But i like v3 more because it shows very clear that its gold and it has this clean feel over it. If you were to find a more polished gold like feel color to v3 that would be perfection to my taste! Somehow v5 got too pixly and greenish for my taste ingame. Anyways keep up the good work!

Thanks a lot again!

Too bad to hear so, but (your) feedback really helps to make the next version better! Thanks again! (There just isn't enough critical feedback around here.)

For the (un)installation.

In case you just want to use another mod (v3) changing the same files, you can just unsub from this mod, subscribe to v3 and verify your game cache.

In case you just want to get rid of some stuff - HiddenPath didn't implement anything to uninstall mods. So most modded stuff remains forever except you delete it manually.
For graphics you need to delete your AoE\data\slp folder before verifying.

Alternativly you could install and organize your mods using my mod manager, that way you can REALLY uninstall mods (and switch between them, mix the, ...) with just a few clicks. :)

I changed my mind when i saw it ingame :), i like your gold from v3 better, how do i use the v3 again? i cant get the v5 to uninstall. What i would like in v5 is that it still stays as clean as in v3. So far i think ure v3 is far the best. Maybe not most realistic but looks coolest.

Thanks a lot! Was not 100% sure about the gold.

Wow nice, looks like you captured the color of gold even better here :). Gj
