The
Collection of Bitmaps--Gaia |
04/10/31 |
2000Kb |
When my ROR had a problem and all the background
went black, I had an idea of taking advantage of this situation
and make every unit, boat, and building(and lots of things under
the "gaia section") facing every possible direction.
It wasn't hard to do, and I am gladly sharing it with everybody.
Oh, sorry if the legs of some units look a bit wierd, because
I really couldn't figure out the different between background-black
and shadow-black:) |

This is a utility that allows you to change
the music MIDI sequences for AOE. Take out all the old MIDIs
and store them in a folder (I reccomend one close to the AOE
sounds folder or on the desktop) and replace the new MIDIs in
their place.
SM= Sailor Moon (for moonies of the AOE kingdom)aok= The Conquerors(from
the AOk: TC Demo)Maybe there will be more. ... Don't write to
me about the fact that it is cruddy or anything. I had to take
a loooong time to listen to those things to sort out where they
should go. Rearrange the orders of the sequneces at your leisure,
although the default setup of the MIDIs is reccomended. Take
off the abbreviations as shown above and the MIDI files should
play in game properly.
Your friend,
HeroPatrick of AOE and AOK Heaven
P.S. Share it with your friends! Plus, I have an extra list
of MIDIs just to listen to coming up someday, for somebody. |

SLPCNVT was created by me over the past few months
to account for the proprietary format of SLP files, the most
commonly used graphic file for Age of Empires. What first led
me to writing the program was the fine utility created by Stoyan
Ratchev, DRSBUILD, along with the SLP file list created by Brian
Yip. Looking at his list, I realized that many of the images
that really had to be there somewhere, were missing and I couldn't
seem to find them, which led me to examine the SLP files more
closely. Finally, after many road blocks, I cracked the commands
used to create the images and wrote this utility to convert
SLPs to BMPs and back. |

Age of Empires AI Editor Version 2.0 Copyright
© 1997, 1999 Stoyan Ratchev All Rights Reserved. INTRODUCTIONAI
Editor (AIEDIT) is a Windows application for creating and editing
Age of Empires (AoE) AI (artificial intelligence) files. AI
files are basically text files with extension .ai. By modifying
them you can create new computer player strategies. They can
be included in scenarios, and this generally makes scenarios
a greater challenge and more fun to play. The game does not
include any utility for editing such files - the text editor
is supposed to be the one. But if you have tried it with the
text editor, you know it is not the easiest job. So I decided
to write a little utility to fill the gap.
This version of AI Editor implements a number of new features,
such as support for RoR AI files, support for games, support
for civilizations, overall AI status and listing of invalid
items, status bar, clipboard support, editing of comments, and
viewing statistics. |

CPNBUILD is a command-line utility for building
MS Age Of Empires campaign files (.CPN) from scenario files
(.SCN). It supports such actions as: adding/replacing scenarios
in campaign files, deleting scenarios from campaign files, extracting
scenarios from campaign files, listing scenarios contained in
campaign files, and changing the versions of scenarios in campaign
files. CPNBUILD command-line interface fully supports wildcards,
which means that all actions can be performed on multiple campaign
and scenario files and will affect only the files matching the
specified wildcard arguments. |

DRSBUILD is a command line utility for building/extracting
MS Age Of Empires resource files (.DRS) from/to wave files (.WAV),
shape files (*.SHP), RLE shape files (*.SLP) and various binary
files (*.BIN). Unlike other history-oriented strategy games,
like Civilization, AoE doesn't provide a way to create 'modpacks',
or sets of rules, graphics and sounds that customize the game
making it to look and feel different, while retaining the same
game engine. A reason for that could be that the resources of
the game are too big - the full set of resources used by the
game consists of 5 DRS files with a total size of 30.3 MB (trial
version). Still anybody who has played a good Civ2 modpack knows
that by editing the game resources the best game can be made
even better! I've played many Civ2 modpacks that I loved more
than the original game, so I feel that the same thing for AoE
is a must. That's why I decided to write a builder/extractor
utility for the AoE resource files. This utility can be used
be modpack creators and modpack players to achieve an unexpected
AoE experience! |

I'm usually the Yamato civilization when I play
Age of Empires over the internet because they seem to have everything
I need. However, I've often wondered if there's another civilization
out of those twelve that would suit me, because the Yamato don't
have heavy catapults. I'd also like to try out war elephants
sometime, but I still like centurions.
Rather than try to play matchmaker with the civilization attributes
page of the AoE manual addendum, I thought I'd write a program
that would help me find a civilization that has everything I
want -- without a hassle.
So was born the "Age of Empires Civilization Chooser".
You can do two things with it: First, you can see very quickly
the attributes of each civilization without having to look at
yellow dots in a hard-to-read grid. Rather, you now just select
the Civilization and see for yourself.
Second, you can try to match a civilization. What you do is
select the units you want your civilization to have. For example,
you might feel you need War Elephants, Heavy Catapults, and
Centurions. After you'd select those three check boxes, you'd
press "Match" and it would report to you that two
Civilizations have those three attributes: The Sumerian and
Hittite. Those two would now appear red rather than brown at
the top of the window.
Thank you for your interest in this program. All you need to
run it is CIV.EXE and CIV.TXT in its own directory and the Visual
Basic 5 DLL's. |

QuickTech 1.0
QuickTech is for all those people like me who can never find
their foldout techtree, have trouble finding all the things
in the Rise of Rome manual, want to quickly look up their civ,
or if you've already commited your favorite civ's attributes
to memory ;) to quickly look up an unfamiliar civ's strengths
and weaknesses. This program is also for those of you who have
been playing Age since day 1 and are now looking for some variety
in your games, this app has a quick and easy solution for you.
First off, this app comes with a quick, easy reference tech
tree for each of the civs in both Age and ROR. By selecting
each civ from a drop down menu you can see :
1) Civ name and modifyers (advantages or bonuses each civ has)
2) Every bronze and iron age technology the civ has which are
grouped into the catagories as in the Age foldout tech tree.
3) A quick access button to switch the view to see all the techs
that the selected civ is missing.
4) Quick numerical reference to how many missing techs the selected
civ has, and how many out of 110 total is does have.
QuickTech also comes complete with a settings generator. Under
the drop down menu under Disply, you can select Random Map Settings.
In a new window you can select which settings you wish to randomly
select by double clicking the settings to turn them on and off.
This provides a fun and sometimes gaming experience with friends.
(Have you ever tried a tiny, hill country, 25 pop, reveal map,
high res game, both of you stuck with Greek?)
This is a small fun, and very useful little application, hope
you can find a good home for it on your hard drive. |

Rise of Rome Unit Chart
Remember with the original Age of Empires came a beautiful chart
that displayed the name of the civilization at the top, with
unit name at the left and dots in the columns if the civilization
has that unit? When I got The Rise of Rome, I looked everywhere
in the instruction manual for an updated chart like the aforementioned
one. To my dismay, the organized chart had been replaced with
a tech tree for each civilization. So I set to work to make
