I have ported this mod so it can work fully now! Here it is: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2029876794

I can't play AoE2HD anymore, or any other video game for that matter since two years now.
Life ♥♥♥♥. Hell, I don't even have an usable PC for that.

I'll surely work on the mod again once I'll get my ♥♥♥♥ together, but for now, try to use an other visual mod.


P.S: I don't even know how the ♥♥♥♥ HD can broke a mod which worked before. What a bunch of amateurs.

this mod appears in red color when I look at the steam workshop view in AoE 2 HD (up to The Forgotten expansion)... What's wrong?

This looks amazing, but it is in red and I can't use it =/ Any update?

Really awesome, thanks!

Can you make an original texture? i Want the original stuff back

As Ozhara explained:

1. Unsubscribe
(2. Delete the mods archive file from your game\mods folder) Not necessary but helps to avoid bugs later.
3. Delete your game\data\slp folder
4. Verify your game cache
5. Wait until all data needed to reset the default is downloaded
6. Restart the game

And if I want to go to the original again? how can i do it?

niceee

Probably the best texture pack

thx

Dioes this work with the Subtle HD Terrain?

Are the comparison screenshots available?

Makes sense ^^

Ok I fixed it by going to the game folder, and in the Terrain->Blends folder removing WaterShore and herbWaterShore and copying another of the blends I thought would work, and then renamed the copy to WaterShore and herbWaterShore.

Only one complaint, and that is the water blends. The shorelines look horrible. Unfortunately I cannot seem to fix it with other mods

cool water

cool

Yeah I was just going to say delete all your junk in mod folder before ^^

Steam Workshop isn't that intuitive 11

Please disregard my earlier post, I figured out the problem. Note for other people who might have this problem when resetting the game: when you redownload the game or change the cache the mods folder is NOT touched. Because of this, the game thinks that the mods are still downloaded, and will not download them again. You MUST go in manually and delete any mods before reinstalling them.

I don't know If I'm doing something wrong, but this mod will not install in my game. I had no problems getting the first version to work, but this one will not show up. I've deleted the game and redownloaded it, and then resubscribed several times, and still nothing. Any ideas on what might be wrong?

Hey Harald, I'm near finishing my v6 terrain pack (at least I hope so^^) and I could need some first feedback before publishing it, would you mind to take a look? :)

The current water is also from one of my texture packs.^^

Great stuff, realy amazing! Apart from the water and the shallow, in my taste they are both annoying. I would suggest you to replace these two to those that Ozhara used in his texture pack V4. Also it would be also good idea to change the trees like Ozhara did, he found some awesome trees!

Of course you can add this information in all mods description texts, but
a) not all modders are aware of all this and
b) there are a lot of people not reading all the description texts... even if they are pretty short...

So for most people seem to have no problems it's more easy to answer questions coming up directly. :)

@Spunkmeyer
AoEs mod system isn't fully compatible with steams workshop system.

For that reason, this counts for ALL mods:

Steam can only handle files present in the current installation package, which means additional files will NEVER be touched.

But AoE uses additional files for almost everything.
Therefore everything except terrains, parts of the soundtrack as well as some base sounds and taunts overwriting the original taunts (instead of adding new ones) won't ever disappear after uninstalling a mod.

This means files like scenarios, campaigns, all non-terrain graphics, most taunts, parts of most soundtracks using the new sound system, ... will stay.

All these files have to be removed manually to get rid of them.
So the question is not why this mod has a complicated way to be uninstalled, but which files exactly have to be uninstalled manually.

And no mod will be uninstalled by just unsubscribing from it. Steam doesn't check/overwrite your files on it's own, this would make modding impossible. You have to tell steam to do so manually. And this is done by verifying your game cache. Some newer games may interact with steams workshop in a more easy/better way, but this game is 15 years old. Making it fully compatible with all today functionalities, would mean to rewrite its code/make a new game. AoEs functionalities are limited.

great advice harold
I got rid of it but I cant get ♥♥♥♥♥wood or grid to work now.
Your mod needs to have a warning and maybe post in its desciption, the complicated way it needs to be removed.
Subscribers BEWARE !

A couple of things i've noticed. 1) The transition from ice shore, to sand shore seems a little rough, but I really don't remember how it is in the default game anyway, and I doubt you'll ever see them next to each other. 2) I don't know if you've seen this problem, but using the editor, the regular desert texture overwrites all 'beach' textures within a certain area (at least 5 spaces) when you place it down. Once again, not sure if it was there in the default game, or is an issue with your mod, just wanted to let you know. Thanks again for a really fantastic mod

By the way I've already posted the method to remove it in the first page of the comments. You really need to do a minimal efforts before spreading a wrong statement.

Of course you can get rid of it if you think that's ugly (lol).

Just:
1. Unsubscribe
(2. Delete the mods archive file from your game\mods folder) Not necessary but helps to avoid bugs later.
3. Delete your game\data\slp folder
4. Verify your game cache
5. Wait until all data needed to reset the default is downloaded
6. Restart the game

its real ugly, then you cant get rid of it.
AVOID !

Very glad you came out with this brighter version, keeps much more with the original AoK look, while still adding considerably. Well done :)

Pretty good

I like it. Good job man!

I am a die hard fan, and a die hard fan of RTS at that. i appreciate this mod, and applaud your combined efforts. HD Edition is now HD Edition lol, otherwise i can go grab AGE2 from the dust and put that in.

cool

Well done it is much obliged

Didn't read all of it lol XD

Download only the unit reskin mod in the description then...

Can you make one for units only? I'd like to see some changes lol :P

Really good textures and I like the bright and happy feeling on the texturepack! Keep up the good work! 5/5

As expected, good improvements all around. The game loading times also improved, magically. Thanks!

Good Job

i can join the game ???

nice nice besser als das originale :-)

Of course yes.

Silly question, but if I install this, I will still be able to play with people who have not, correct?

Yeah I don't mind, use it if you want :p

Tested it and it looks great. Some terrains could be a bit less bright, but grass1/2 look much better now.

What I still don't like that much are the snow mixes...^^ The snow layer looks weird and has much to much tilling for me.

Think I'll use your water recolor for my next terrain pack if it's ok for you.
And I have to work some more on it, some of the terrains definatelly need some kind of overhaul now. :)
