Age of Empires 1

[Master of Eagles]

Which texture should I use for the Greek iron age building roof tops? And I have searched. There isn't any chariot model in the hive.

 

[chilla_killa]

Which building do you make?

Thanks Orcs of Azeroth.

 

[M1n1sh4]

Oh God!! I'm too impatient for play this map
I have seen the screenshots of the building models and they look likes the ones of the original AoE1 ^^
Keep working

Greeting from Catalonia.

 

[chilla_killa]

Lalalalalalalalalala

 

[Amigurumi]

[M1n1sh4]

[General Frank]

Sorry, guys, but I will show the model when it's 100% complete. Please be patient.

 

[Amigurumi]

Lalalalalalalalalala

[Eccho]

Lalalalalalalalalala

mm whacha say?

Sorry, guys, but I will show the model when it's 100% complete. Please be patient.

waiit what? Are you gonna help too?

 

[General Frank]

Am I not allowed to? AoE franchise games are my favourite ones.

 

[Eccho]

I never said you aren't allowed I was just surprised to see you

 

[pangahas]

Now that's what I'm talking about..General Frank on board..Now this proj is on its way to epicness..

 

[Amigurumi]

who said, that this project wasn't it's way to epicness, before General Frank joined?

 

[pangahas]

Hehe..indeed.Its just that having the general on board is a big boost to the project.Isn't it?

 

[Master of Eagles]

I am making the gov center of the iron age.
I have seen your post about that villager with archer animations. Did anyone do that? I can do it.

 

[chilla_killa]

Yes pls do that, I don't have time to do it on my own. Thanks
This project was awesomeness since I've started it
Yes, the lalalalalallalalaaa was me

 

[General Frank]

Yes pls do that, I don't have time to do it on my own. Thanks

You might started the awesomeness but I started the epicness.^^

 

[chilla_killa]

Awesomeness > Epicness !!!

 

[General Frank]

Oh, by the way I have transferred the model to the bandit skeleton. Should be ready his evening. Do you need a portrait and icons?

 

[chilla_killa]

I just need a portrait, I use the original icon of AOE.

BTW: Now all Screenshots are at the first post of this thread!!!
Check them out!

 

[Eccho]

I still think all the icons should be unique and not just pasted from the game. But its up to you ofcourse

 

[chilla_killa]

But if I do that, I can't do it on myself because I suck at drawing etc texturing

 

[Amigurumi]

yes I think that to. We are remaking age of empires 1 , but it's warcraft 3,
and doesn't have to be 100% aoe1. And the icons of aoe1 look a bit 'old-quality' for our times.
we need high quality, especially for this map

 

[Eccho]

But if I do that, I can't do it on myself because I suck at drawing etc texturing

Well, you just got General Frank asking to do an icon for his model And also, sometimes making an icon out of the model portrait itself works (dependant I guess). Ive done that before.

 

[Amigurumi]

well screenshots can be also high quality

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

And also, sometimes making an icon out of the model portrait itself works (dependant I guess). Ive done that before.

, if done right it looks pretty good (see attachment, and that while I'm so terrible at skinning/icon making ). Only a little has to be edited this way, saving a lot of time. And last, the filesize is relative small because of the black parts.

 

[Eccho]

Yeah, that one looks really great to be a copy paste from the game. If the quality would feel absurd, blur could sometimes help it aswell (not sure if everyone likes blur, but meh)

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

, use a little gaussian blur with photoshop (I did a very small amount of blur on the icon).

 

[Master of Eagles]

OK. I've made that archer.

View attachment VillagerManArcher.mdx

I've searched all the game textures. None of them was suitable for the greek iron age roof tops. What Should we do for that?

 

[chilla_killa]

Thanks for the Archer, exactly what I needed
Hm? I searched, too and the only good thing I found is the Textures/Goldmine texture, but it's not that perfect.
But if we don't find anything else, I would use that texture.

 

[calex3]

One of my favorite games ....I would like to see it in warcraft III

 

[Cyper95]

Just a quick question
Are you gonna base the terrain on all the maps and then just copy everything over or just make one map?

 

[chilla_killa]

At first I only make one map with a random terrain generator, but maybe I'll remake the campaign.

 

[Cyper95]

Fair 'nuff with random map generator but once you got that map done with random map generator, maybe you should recruit 5 terrainers or something like that to make the maps look like in Age of Empires 1 (Of course they would have to have Age of Empires 1 to check out that it looks pretty much the same)

 

[chilla_killa]

Age of Empires 1 uses a Random Terrain system, too

 

[warman45]

he means for campaighns and stuff.

 

[SnaKy]

how far are you with gameplay? btw pots in building models could be billboarded 2d pics :>

 

[Tommy gun]

A great map with custom model. +rep

Cool Map.

 

[chilla_killa]

Thanks

 

[Cyper95]

Okay fair enough so long time since I played it so couldn't remember

 

[Orc-of-Azeroth]

i can do campign terrains, i have the original game here with me so i know what to place and where.

 

[chilla_killa]

Cool, maybe in a month or so, when I've finished all systems and models.

 

[Eccho]

Edit: I actually changed it to be more flexible now, but I didnt write the new one here, because the principle is the same.
Edit2: actually, forget it... Im reworking it again to be better, whatever I said before, its gone now

 

[chilla_killa]

Remember for now I only make one nation, the Greeks.

 

[Eccho]

Yes, but that doesn't mean the scripting shouldnt be adapted for easy changes. See it as some sort of MUI-similar thing

 

[HD888]

is there gonna be the whole hunting for meat by killing animals?

 

[pangahas]

is there gonna be the whole hunting for meat by killing animals?

Yup Chilla and Amigurumi made a system for that as far as I know it works fine now.

 

[Vuormalainen]

cant wait

 

[Eccho]

Okay, so I stumbled upon something. All in all there are 22 buildings which a villager can build (at the same time, if we dont count with all the model variations, just "type of unit").
For this, we would need to have two Build menus, but this can only be implemented customly. This is what I suggest, as it is the only way, and I am happy to fix it without problems (just more time consuming) and it will require some more things than expected.

The Spellbook abilitty serves perfect as a "custom Build menu". In age of empires 2 they use two build menus there as well, one called "Buildings" and one called "Military Buildings". My suggestion is that we do like them there.
The second thing will be that we will have to implement even more abilities. There is an ability called Build Tiny Hall/Barracks etcetc. We could use that one to produce the way of building like normal. So everything will look like it does normally, all in all with 2 menus. When it comes to the computer AI in this case it will not be a considerably huge problem, as most of the AI is custom anyway, and this little obstacle should be gone before it is finished.

How's that sounding?

Edit: That actually didnt work, sadly :|
Edit2: I think I found a workaround
Edit3: Nope, Im currently back on square one :|
Edit4 Well, I got another idea now :] Ill notify you later if it works.

, this sounds a bit strange, but maybe you can give the villager an ability so it changes into an other villager (everything looks the same except for the buildings they can make).
