This is the almost finished version of the mod, in there you should find new units, terrains and cliffs.
There are no known issues so far, if you noticed that something is not working properly post it here or in the official forum so i can fix it.
I really hope you guys like it, cya :)
To install this mod you need to back up your original files first.
Once you have everything saved in a safe place follow this steps:
There are 3 folders on the .rar file:
- Cliffs

- Open the folder Re-skin mod
- Select and copy the files "graphics.drs" and "interfac.drs"
- Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Age2HD\Data
- Paste the files there, it will ask you if you want to overwrite the old files with the new ones, so click on "yes"
- The units should be working now.
- Open the folder Cliffs
- Select and copy all the files.
- Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Age2HD\Data\Slp
- Paste the files there, it will ask you if you want to overwrite the old files with the new ones, so click on "yes"
- The cliffs should look different now.
- Select and copy the folder Terrain.
- Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Age2HD
- Paste the folder "terrain" there, it will ask you if you want to overwrite the old files with the new ones, so click on "yes"
- When you launch the game you should notice the new terrains by now.
extremly good。
Thanks! :)
Hi i dowloaded your mod for aoe hd it works fine but i don't have any of the villagers new skins.
Also i suggest you change the monks skins to make some hooded in robe priests with another stick that way it would look better and be more universal for non christians cultures like vikings and asians.
Vikings eventually turned christian I believe, some in the castle age.
Personnaly I'm not choked. The monk does not have a cross.
He has a tonsure, that's true. But it's not a priest, it reminds neutral.
He has a book. A Bible or a Coran. Or Confucius scripts ? ^^
But +1 to have a more "monastic" cloth (hooded etc.).
Jorgito said in Steam that the villagers and monks are not yet ready. About the monks, my suggestion is to make a muslim imam for sarracens, persians, turks, indians and the upcoming african kingdoms, and a buddhist monk for mongols, chinese, japanese and koreans. Christian priests are ok since vikings were converted into christianism, just like the persians who were converted into islam.

how come my download does come as a folder?
Once you have the AoE2 HD re-skin.rar you need to extract the files and there you will see the 3 folders, one for units, other for terrain and the other for cliffs.
Let me know if you need more help because perhaps i didnt understand your question :(
(I dont speak english and is hard for me to understand everything)

thanks by the way, i'v been waiting a mod like this for awhile really impressed. awesome job
Thank you! glad you make it work :)
Why paladin are holding two lances. O_O
That is a problem of the game it self. Paladins and champions have a really annoying bug that duplicate frames on their standing position. How is possible that you never noticed on the original version? i was watching paladins with 2 horse heads and chaps with 4 arms lol
I cant fix it, is not a problem of the mod, is a problem of the Game and the developers should fixed.. i dont know why they didnt yet :S
Never a paladin is cool enough, he could hold two lances. XD
"Twice the POWER!"
Hahahahaha
after downloading and extracting the file.... where do i save the entire folder to????

My Age II Hd folder doesn't have a Data folder inside..
How do i install the mod ?
Can I download this mode if I have a foresteam disk of AoE 2
Yes you can, but instead of copy the files into the steam folder that you dont have, you need to go to where your game is installed and paste the new files there. Remember to back up the originals.
I LOVE IT!!!! Only little thing that is sad:
U didnt make the siege weaps. :(
Dont worry they will be included in the next patch along with villagers and some other missing stuff :)
oh, that means villager are not in this download? I was getting worried ._. xD

Taichi here from aokh.
if you have problems with double frames your probably importing full 9 direction frames into the game, actually you only need the 5 first directions (front, front left, left, left upper and upper), there are properties inside the game data that automatically mirrors the frames and fills in the missing directions so, your data will be smaller, but you will also get rid of the double frames
Hi! the units have 5 directions, the problem about duplicate frames is a bug on the HD version that the devs didnt fix yet.
In the original game without mods Champions and Paladins only on their standing position looks like 2 or 3 units moving at different times creating the illusion of having 2 horse heads in the paladin or 2 upperbody in the case of the champ.
In my mod the champion looks like if "he seems to have 2 swords some times" so is barely noticeable.
And the paladin looks like he have 2 lances but at least not 2 horse heads.
I really hope they fix this bug is really annoying.
Oh didnt knew about this, also sent you a email by the way
Allright i will check it, thanks :)
Great mod finally a long swordsman doesent look downgraded version of man at arms xD anyways i have few suggestions dont know if possible but here it goes every nation have its own heraldy simbol i mean if i play french i want it to have french simbol not enlgish same for other countries, diffrent units for continental civilizations i mean lets take those men at arms they wear european armor and have englands simbol everything woud be ok exept for simbol with european factions but if im playing native americans,asians or middle eastern they look out of place if that woud be possible to fix it woud be cool
The lion wasnt used only by englad, i mean yes on movies but is actually a common heraldic symbol they even use it in Narnia haha.
If you notice the original paladin have a shield with a lion (i am talking of the vanilla graphics).
I could choose to use an eagle or a boar or any other thing, but since Lions, fleur de lis,etc are the most popular i used those.
But dont worry for future patches my plan is to make an entire unit rooster for every building set.
So you will have west european, north european, mezoamerican, etc,etc :)
yes its common but still theres got to be some recognition which country you are playing :) since every feudal lord had heralding symbol its impossible to put everyone in game but i think its possible to put royal families(kings family)heraldic symbol somethign like those 3 dragons for english fleur de lis for france nad other royal families heraldic symbols for other countries well exept those that have few countries like goths then find somethign in common to them :) also are you planning to reskin building too ? and maybe you will do somethign like i can build guy with shield with has more protection than the guy with 2handed weapon but has less damage than that guy now that woud be awesome? xD
Dont worry i totally understand you, i will see what i can do :)
For future patches i want to finish with all the units and then perhaps buildings.
Concerning gameplay changes like the one you suggested, there is a great mod in the making that have a lot of cool stuff like the ones you posted and i am making units for that guy too :)
you can check his proyect on Aok.heavengames.com

Hey jorgito regarding on the re-skin installation
I have a AOE II HD with the latest dlc Rise of the Rajas
I would love to install your mod but the problem is
based on your instructions..
Open the folder Re-skin mod
Select and copy the files "graphics.drs" and "interfac.drs"
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Age2HD\Data
Or in the place that you have installed the game, the important is that you discover where is the data folder with files graphics.drs and interface.drs
Paste the files there, it will ask you if you want to overwrite the old files with the new ones, so click on "yes"
but there is no "DATA" folder on my game only Resources where you can find the .slp and the terrain textures.. I don't know how to install the graphics.drs and interfac.drs because I don't know where to put them :( though inside the "Resources" folder there is a DRS folder which contains folders named "graphics" and "interface" and others like gamedata.
I tried to copy and paste the graphics and interfac.drs inside the DRS folder but it seems its not working :(
Can you help me?
De même je ne sais pas ou mettre graphics.drs et interfac.drs... est ce que vous pourriez nous donner une petite piste? ^^
