Let me present my new project:


70546d1259608288-age-empires-1-user146403_pic20801_1259600946.png






Features:

+ Music, Sounds and Icons of the original game
+ Many custom models, especially buildings, made by me
+ Gold/Stone Mining, Berry searching, Animal Hunting system
+ Random Terrain system (by Amigurumi)
+ Custom Articficial Intelligence (AI) by Eccho
+ 4 Ages (changing buildings after upgrading)
+ The 4 big peoples: Greeks, Egypts, Babylons, Asian with different buildings art
(for now only one people (Greeks)


I'm recreating all buidings by merging existing blizzard doodad and building models. I've already made some icons, by cutting them off screenshots of the original game.
All units have the sounds off the original game.

I could need some help with this map

I need:


More modellers!


Team:

chilla_killa (Modeller, Triggerer, Terrainer, Ideas, Object Editor)
Amigurumi (Systems, Modeller)
Eccho (AI)
pangahas (Modeller)
The Mechanic (Fixing Grammar mistakes)
Master of Eagles (Modeller)
General Frank (Modeller)


I hope you like the idea.

Progress:

Starting Date: 23.11.2009

Triggers: 33%
Models: 66%
Objects: 33%
Icons: 33%






The models were made by pangahas, Amigurumi and predominetaly me.
Master of Eagles, Gyrosphinx and General Frank made models, too,
but I don't have screenshots of them.

Yeah it's buggy, I only got it with Windows XP via XnView (a free image viewing program).
But it only works on XP.
Which program do you use for making the models?
BTW: At the moment I work on a catapult model and the Hunting System.
I need someone who can tell me the original english names of the 4 Ages because I only have the german version and can't change the language.

I use XP. and I used my sceenshot button, Snagit, Netmeeting and a program I made myself. None of them worked. I'll check XnView

Which program do you use for making the models?
3dsmax 7, Biturn, War3ModelEditor, Photoshop CS4, MSPaint, WE and another program I made myself.

Cool, thanks tyranid51112 +rep for you.
I'm pissed off, I made the whole model for the Stone Ages barracks and all was finished, suddenly my computer shut off and all is gone, 2 hours of work for nothing :(
I will have to remake it :(
My hunting system is nearly finished.

Master of Eagles, you have to take screenshot, so it saves in another folder.

Yay! AoE1 was the game that brought me into the RTS realm of gaming. I really loved the game! I would like to join the team as an extra modeller if possible. I can't animate, but I can do atleast decent MdlEdits and I'm getting better at making custom Geosets. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to this map!

AoE was the second game that got me into the RTS Gamimg World.

The first one was the God/King of RTS it self: Command and Conquer :grin:

Ya CnC-Generals:Zero Hour wasnt so good : (, I liked the G.I.A Toxen General, Dr.Thrax, though he was the only good General I liked to play as.


If they do a Generals Sequel they need to bring Dr.Thrax as the main Bad Guy, he seems like the Kane/Yuri of the Generals universe

@ Gyrosphinx: That would be cool, if you made some buildings,
at first you can do the Pit of the StoneAge of the greeks.
You can just merge some blizzard models together.
But please make the roof of the house team coloured, if you don't know how to make it, just make it an own empty Material, so I will add the TC later.

@ Amigurumi, can you make systems MUI and MPI?
My hunting system is soon finished, but it needs to be MUI and MPI.
Could you do that?

do you mind if I do it from scratch?
and should t work with items? or just variables?

I have now the main triggers.
What I do tomorrow:
  • when they bring the meat back, they went to the next dead animal
  • fix a problem, when I replace the villager
  • to hunt a new gazelle, if the dead one hasn't any lifes left

so the next list is:
  • to fix small bugs
  • documentation !Only if you need one!

What I've done so far:

chilla_killa. I hope you don't mind, but I started making a loading screen. I have got just one problem, the Age of Empires logo isn't in the very middle, its slightly off to the right. Should I put the Warcraft 3 logo right above the Age of Empires logo so that it too is slightly to the right of the middle, or should I put it in the middle.

The one on the top is aligned with the AoE logo, the one below that is aligned with the centre.
