I tried several maps, and no matter what map i get, i can`t bild on more than maybe 10% of the ground. It`s red everywhere, so i had to uninstall this mod as I spendt all the gametime trying to find somewhere to build. I gave up... to bad because it is beautiful.

it's not ok with addons Small trees. it's doesn't work

Right now, the easiest way is to also subscribe to my default mountain mod and giving it a higher load order priority. :)

is there any way to get these amazing texrues without changing my mountains.. q.q

V8 can be found here:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=661975918

Is this the latest version? I can't find the eighth edition.

Okay. Thank you, sir

in case of v7 and v8 I would recommend v8 as those two have a very similar style. For older versions - not all of them are completelly up to date, but I'm working on it, so the main difference is their style - if they suit your likings better is up to you. :)

What should I use v7 or v8, Or an earlier one?

For I have multiple replacements for most elements I mod, there is no mod that contains them all.
My expanded terrain packs are the most complete ones though for they contain a replacement for every element I have replacements for beside the berry bushes.
These full/expanded packs are mostly compilations though - so they 'just' sum up chosen replacements that fit together to make using them easier.
While most of these packs actually differ in that they use different styles and approaches for the textures, some are more like real updates.
v7 is a little in between - v8 does contain some larger changes, but it is really similar in its style.
So I would suggest to take a look at v8 too. :)
Don't be affraid of the WIP tag - v8 is mostly finished - I just plan on shuffling the trees a little for better fitting the new RotR trees and maybe give the cliffs a new look to better fit the rock terrain - the rest is done.

This seem like a great mod but I'm confused, you have so many graphic improvement mods out there, is there a single pack that contain it all?

Okay, thank you! Just wanted to make sure.

no, they all replace the same contents

If we get this one, do we need the other various different versions IE VII VIII V5?

ill keep an eye on it then, thanks!

there is my v7 spotted grid edition. It is not updated for AoR yet though.

Hey Ozhara, great texture mod btw. Do you have a version with a grid overlay that can work with v7?

Makes an old game look like new, love your work, keep it up mate! :D

Great, thanks!

I actually made a standalone mod with only the default mines, exactly for this purpose. ;)
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=211437268

Hey, nice textures! Really love the land graphic, though I'd prefer the default gold/stone mines. Do you have something like a standalone version (not in packs) so that I can use the land texture only? Or can I actually disable the gold/stone mines texture by manual?

Thanks, great to hear so

Awesome texture pack! I love it!

Many thanks! :D

This is my favorit texture pack for AoE2 i love it man! :)

Partly.^^

I improved my skills while doing all these mods and therefore later versions will profit of that as well as other experiences I got while working on them, but most packs also use sligthly different approaches in style for example.
And since actually updating mods does work again, while including new terrains from fe and ak into my older mods, I also do update them content wise in their own style.
So step by step the other mods will also get more up to date/'better'.
Therefore it mostly depends on your liking what pack to use.

I know that this gets more difficult the more mods I publish, therefore they all come with a lot of preview screens of mostly the same areas, so you can compare them more easily, especially whern opening them in a browser instead of steam. You can also see in each mods change notes (top right beneath the tags, mod size and release date) when I updated/added what content, so you get a sense of what is actually updated yet and what to expect top be further changd in the future.

Just a question, this pretty much is a better version of what you have done before right?

thanks!

Great you like it!

Nice terrain.

Amazing MOD! Best AOE Modder. Thanks Ozhara

Thanks a lot!

Great you like my stuff.

The archer bug is due to the animation file containing wrong frames (duplicates, empty ones, too many or something like that).
The animation is created by a set of frames which count is set in the games dat file as well as the speed at which the frames do change. If a frame does show the wrong content or the frames in any way don't fit the animations definition, you'll get such gliches.
This can be easily fixed by adjusting those frames. I'll take a look at it and upload a fixed animation file. Just don't know if I'll be able to do so today.

Hey Ozhara, you did some really nice work! I've been playing AoE since '99 and reallly like what you've done. I wanted to ask if there's an update to this mod that fixes the archer glitch where they disappear/reappear? It only seems to happen to the archer sprite, not crossbowmen or any other unit. It makes them virtually impossible to control. Please advise. And thanks again for great work!

nice one

thx 4 d great mod ozhara!

The \mods folder only contains your own mods, no subscriptions anymore.

Did steam start (and finish) the download? Steam sometimes is a bit laggy at recognizing it actually needs to download/update stuff...

it doesn't work :/
after subscribing and starting the game there are no mods, and folder \mods is clean

Hi Saklyes, thanks - I'll take a look at it after work. :)

For now this mod only exists for steam. But all non-terrain components can easily be used/made available for non-steam versions as well.
For the terrains themselve, classic AoE uses another system for implementing them. I'll have to take a look at turtle pack (free tool for AoE graphic file editing) if it is able to convert the terrains back - otherwise this would be a really tricky part. BUT even if it works with turtle pack - in non-HD versions, there are far less colors available (indexed 256 color palette), so they will definatelly be less smooth and detailed.

My small contribution to help teach people speaking this pack. Thank you so much for your job. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSF_JQ1CJ-A And i want to know if you have this pack for the people that haven´t aoe2 in steam¿?

Das ist vollkommen in Ordnung!!! - Ursprünglich habe ich nur meine separaten Mods veröffentlicht, damit jeder sein eigenes Paket schnüren kann - aber das kam nicht so gut an, eine große Mehrheit arbeitet lieber mit einem vorgegebenen Basis-Stup das dann evtl. teilweise modifiziert wird - zumindest den Kommentaren nach.^^

Und auch hier gilt wie in vielen meiner Modbeschreibungen - wenn euch bestimmte Dinge fehlen, ich helfe gerne dabei. Daraus sind auch die 'Spieler-Versionen' wie die Alacazain und Todeslord-Editionen enstanden. Gerade Letztere enthält auch einige Terrains fremder Mods, aber alle so angepasst, dass sie ein einheitliches Bild ergeben.

Wenn ihr also der Meinung seid einige von euch genutzte Terrains bräuchten leichte Angleichungen oder angepasste Inhalte weil sie aus verschiedenen meiner Packs oder wo anders her stammen - sagt einfach Bescheid und ich schaue das da was rundes draus wird - zum Preis einer separaten Bundle-Veröffentlichung wenn die Anpassungen umfangreich genug sind. :)

Kann mich Etharon nur anschliessen. Klasse Arbeit. Ich persönlich habe mir mein Spiel aus zahlreichen Mods nach meinem Geschmack zusammengestellt - nachdem ich dank Dir jetzt endlich weiss, wie es geht. Die Landschaftstexturen, Strassen usw. sind mit grosser Masse von Dir. Hoffe, das ist in Deinem Sinne.

Das Spiel selbst mach immer noch Spass. Ist halt ein Evergreen. Einziger Wehrmutstropfen ist die mehr als straffe Anbindung an Steam.

Danke sehr!

Da wird auch für v4 demnächst wieder ein Update kommen. Bin gerade dabei alle meine Mods an die neuesten Änderungen (AK, Custom Terrains usw.) anzupassen.

Sauber das du, Ozhara, dir immer noch die Mühen machst das Spiel uptodate zu halten.
Bei mir persönlich laufen die V4 Texturen von dir. Die liegen mir mehr. Ist ja in deinem Sortiment für alle Mann was dabei.

Wollte nur nochmals gesagt haben, großes Kompliment an dich und keep going mein Freund!

Hey Ozhara...! Vielen, vielen Dank für die schnelle Antwort. Soweit habe ich das - glaube ich - vertsanden. Der Rest ist dann wohl try and learn.

Dass Du richtig schöne Mods hast hat man Dir bestimmt schon oft gesagt und do möchte ich mich dahingehend ebenfalls einreihen. Tolle Sache. Vielen Dank!

Es ist ganz einfach ;)

Erstelle im 'mods' Ordner einen Ordner mit dem Namen deiner Mod.
Darin bildest du die Ordnerstruktur des Spiels nach, die du für deine Dateien brauchst.
Das ist: DeineMod\resources\_common\...
Für meine Terrains wäre es etwa _common\terrains\textures\
Nun legst du alle Dateien an ihrem normalen Ort ab. Lediglich slp Dateien kommen in einen separaten Ordner, _common\slp.
Nun kannst du noch eine Hauptvorschau für deine Mod definieren (nur hier). Erstelle dazu im Hauptordner, oberhalb von 'resources' ein entsprechendes png mit dem Namen _preview-image.png (ich bin gerade nicht zu Hause und bin mir wegen des Trennzeichens nicht ganz sicher - schau einfach mal in einer anderen Mod nach.
Jede Mod die du im 'mods' Ordner angelegt hast, wird dir auch ingame im MOd-Manager angezeigt. Dort einfach selektieren und veröffentlichen.

Hello Ozhara...! I need some help from a professional. I would really love to know how to create and publish nods. But for what reason ever I am not abe to find out how it works. Is there a chance to get a guide - English or German language - how I could create and publish such mods. I read you guide, but either I am to stupid or, or, or....! In each case I did hnot found a way because my game seems to look different. There is no chance to get to the Steam Workshop.

Please advise, please help! I'll gladly send you an email if you want. Thanks!

Great you like it. :)

I think it's a great work, it gives the game a smooth look in almost every way and its worth to subscribe.
