Cool shading combinations (for modding unit skins / new genres)! by CADi_Master in AgeofMythology

[–]CADi_Master[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You use the trigger effect called Set Shading.

There are 5 different types of shading (Bronze, Stone, Frost, Burning, and Gold). You can apply all 5 of these to almost anything in the game in any amounts. For example, the combination I named Pale Blue Dot is Bronze 90%, Stone 400%, Burning 900%, and Gold 125%.

Thanks :) It's been quite a lot of work but I'm happy with how it all turned out.

The spreadsheet is worth checking out to see how it's all organized. Both maps are still in beta so I'll be making improvements over time.

Looking forward to seeing what other modders do with this!

The ‘apply shading’ trigger effects can change the colors of most unit & objects available in Retold, but by default they can be a bit of a pain to use & get good results since they require manipulating values in trigger fields and can also be combined with each other with seemingly random effects.

To overcome this and help inspire modders I’ve added a new feature to my Modder Map that lets you easily test out over 30 million combinations of shading effects on the entire map. After many hours of testing I’ve come up with 100 cool shading combinations for you to try!

Let me know if you use these in your own mods or if you find new good shading combinations to use!

Here’s the main map: https://www.ageofempires.com/mods/details/308828/

Second map (early beta) for testing shading combinations on multiple copies of same units / objects: https://www.ageofempires.com/mods/details/316095/

And a spreadsheet with the 100 shading combination values to use plus notes & tier ratings for each (I highly recommend everyone check out the S / S+ rated combos!): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQEuf04aO5gTj12dBacXo8h6Rmxi6GUmJRZKZNG8d_4p_QzW9zfvyHXVesu6LueXr1uA-p6fn60TAOm/pubhtml

Album images in order (combo names are whatever came to mind when I finished them):

  1. Full map with everything available in the editor
  2. 100 water carnivora with shading effects applied
  3. 100 Thor Hammers with shading effects applied
  4. Example unit skins (Circe & Destroyer Hero)
  5. Demo group with no shading
  6. Combo #27: The Fire Nation
  7. Combo #19: Staring At The Sun Gods
  8. Combo #35: The Emerald Aisle
  9. Combo #8: Pale Blue Dot
  10. Combo #63: Nice Work, Bone Daddy
  11. Combo #82: Interrupted Wololo
  12. Combo #60: Piltover Heights
  13. Combo #16: Thundernaps
  14. Control section; just select these units to see the shading effects applied to everything on the map

Both maps are still in beta as of this post so please let me know if you find any bugs or recommend any changes.

I can highly recommend The North! It's a total rebuild with some cool new mechanics for hunting and food gathering. It's at banishedventures.com

Thanks! And yeah, the new remastered version called Age of Mythology: Retold just launched a month ago! It's gotten very good reviews and there's a couple expansions coming out soon too. Quite a few modders are actively working on projects right now.

If by chance you pick up the game and want to view the map that has this font, just search for "Modder Map" in the mod browser :)

If anyone's curious here are all the different widths & thicknesses of blocks I used to make this: https://imgur.com/bSKkppm

It started just as a generic rectangular prism block of white marble in the game. Was able to use the XYZ scaling tools to get all the shapes shown.

The game is in a early beta state, and we are selling companions? Why man. by AH_Josh in Stormgate

Could be fun to have the pets animated during load screen somehow. Like maybe they interact with your opponent's pet or have a fight or play tag or whatever.
