Immersive Background Environment v0.1

描述
Current Version: IBE v0.1


IBE (Immersive Background Environment) focuses on improving the background environment used in AoM:EX.
Players spend much of their time on the pregame screen - chatting, searching for games, etc. Behind the user interface elements there is an environment (a scenario playing in the background). IBE aims to diversify that environment and make it aesthetically pleasing.


Improvements:
  • Environment is switched every 60 seconds, showcasing a different civilization. As of version v0.1 there are 2 civs: Greek and Egyptian.
  • Introduces a playlist that will cycle through many of AoM's beautiful soundtracks. No more listening to the same intro song over and over again.

Planned for Future Updates:
  • Showcase all civilizations found in AoM:EX (Greek, Egyptian, Norse, and Atlantean)
  • Take advantage of new render and lighting system to create beautiful scenery.
  • Create fully scripted cities that will feel alive.


How does IBE work?
  • No changes are made to .xml or config files. It only replaces ~aom_pgs_greece.scx file found in scenario folder. That file is the scenario running in the background by default.
  • Everything is managed by triggers inside of the scenario. All triggers have been grouped and clearly named. This will make it easier for anyone who would like to further personalize their game.

------------------------------
Known Issues:
  • On some lower-end computers when the game launches and initializes Steam components there is a brief moment at which the game "freezes", if it freezes for a long time (+10 seconds) it may cause the intro song to cut off and transition to the next song before its done playing.
  • Ability to select and control units in the background. This is something that was and still is possible in the game without any mods. I'll leave it for the time being, unless I find that people are heavily against it.

This is an early release. With your help and testing I'll be able to fix all the issues and improve on the quality of the mod :)

I like this mod but I find the Egyptian background a little claustrophobic. Maybe zoom out a little or something? Also, the graak background shows the edge of the map in the top right of the screen :(

I am sorry to hear that. The mod works correctly on all test machines I have it installed on. The issue is local to your computer and is unlikely to be related to my mod.

If you cannot remove a mod through the mod manager, try removing the mod by first going into the AoM installation directory and removing it from the mods folder. After that, if you have unsubscribed, any deleted mods should no longer be active.

I am planning on adding the rest of original backgrounds as well as a number of entirely new ones.
Right now I'm working on something that I believe is of higher importance, but I'll come back and release updates to this one soon.

Thank you so much for this mod (some variety is very much appreciated)

Could you also add in the orginal AOM and Titans backgrounds in the cycle ?

I have tried this mod on a clean installation of Windows. Everything works flawlessly. I believe the problem has to do with your particular setup.

We can instruct AoM:EX to give us a detailed log about what's going on with the mods. Enable my mod, try to launch. After the crash do this:

Inside of this file:
..\Steam\SteamApps\common\Age of Mythology\startup\ user.cfg
( If you dont have it, create it)
add a line:
+modmanagerdetailed

Run the game and it will produce a very detailed log file inside of:
..\Age of Mythology\Logs
Inside you'll find (potentially very large) list of directories. Sort by date and go into the most recent folder (should have the time on it when exactly u ran the game). Open file mod-manager.txt and paste its contents on http://pastebin.com/ so I could take a look at what it says. If u did everything correctly that file will have thousands of lines.

Afterwards u can remove that line with the +.

Latest official build.

The game crashes at around 25% progress on the loading screen. It attempts to reload the game without any errors and boots up the launcher once again. Perhaps it's a conflict with another modification? I can try disabling the rest in a bit.

I must say there are like 10 presets for the menu screen int he scenario foler which arent used. You couls use those!

Alright. I'll be doing some tests on various hardware configurations later in the day.
Could you provide me with your system specs?

- Operating System
- CPU (processor)
- GPU (graphics card)
- hard drive or solid state?
- AoM:EX version

Also - at what point does it crash and *how* does it crash? Exit to Windows? Completely freezes? Game never loads? Is there any sound or anything at all going on.

@2CR Yep, unfortunately it narrowed it down to this specific mod, disabled the mods one by one until I got to this one. After unsubscribing and removing this mod, the game loaded normally.
