Not sure if this is possible in ROR but the AOE1 patch on Voobly got Highland Map with no Rivers option. Could you add that to ROR also? Most of us that play Chowar on ROR would love that setting.
Thanks for this patch, HD resolution is awesome. |

(An awesome addition to an awesome game.)
Additional Comments: I've always loved AoE Gold Edition, and, even though the game is fun, this update is exactly what the game needed.
The color fix and the higher resolutions are the main parts that make the game so much more enjoyable. Finally, I don't have to kill Explorer.exe every single time I want to play. This update is the only other color fix that works for me.
I play singleplayer a lot, so the AI improvements are amazing. It was so annoying when the AI would team up when I selected no teams, so doing free-for-all games against AI is so much better now. The AI get much more reliable build plans as well.
I didn't realize how massively unbalanced and buggy this game was, but I agree with every change that was made. This update is good enough to be an official update, and the explanations helped me realize just how many of these changes were necessary. The Hittites were so overpowered I almost felt like I had to play them, and the Babylonians had way too much health for their walls and towers. It's also nice having a lot of those documentation errors corrected.[Edited on 11/10/14 @ 08:32 PM]

Hello, if I want to play Age of Empires without any adjustments with just adjusting the resolution, it will be easy to set up for me when I can not English? I am from czech republic.

As I explained in the forum (link below), this is not possible. My answer is here:

If I may, I disagree. This is absolutely possible. I have worked a lot so people can choose the options that suits them.
BinaryPatcher allows setting any resolution you want.
http://aoe.heavengames.com/dl-php/showfile.php?fileid=2478
It's a developer/modder tool so it's not user-friendly for simple users but maybe I'll release a better tool later.
You can also find DRS files there:
http://aoe.heavengames.com/dl-php/showfile.php?fileid=2522
http://aoe.heavengames.com/dl-php/showfile.php?fileid=2481
I'm afraid UPatch is going the same way as Voobly: hardcoded incompatible things, it's disappointing for those who are trying to improve the game, share knowledge and add the more options as possible.
Please remember that without the open-source approach I tried to bring, the custom resolutions would still be limited to Phosphurx' hardcoded 1280*1024 with 1 or 2 other unwanted EXE changes (because people all develop their own thing and deliver a hardcoded EXE file).

You are not serious? He asks me about UPatch and I answered - of course there can be only one game version 1.1 and it's not possible to have others for compatibility reasons. The whole point of everything is to have one updated new game version, where everything works and it's the same for everyone = works in Multiplayer.
How could I stop users from using BP or any other modding tool? Not only that, but I've been working for 4 months to create a simple way for mods the be loaded/unloaded into UPatch with easy to use Mod Manager program (which will be available with the final version). This way both users and mod creators can easily benefit from all UPatch improvements with their mods.
Such accusations are simply not fair, I'm very surprised this came from you. If you had any comments or doubts, you could have said so in a forum post or personal email. Also, there isn't a single place in any Credits/About where I put my name, but forgot to add yours and LucTieuPhung's.[Edited on 11/17/14 @ 03:45 PM]

The question was: "if I want to play Age of Empires without any adjustments with just adjusting the resolution"
I admit this was the wrong place for this question, but anyway the answer is yes, it's possible (and not related to UPatch).
The guy just wants a better resolution, which is possible, and you answered no, that's why I added my comment.
I'm not complaining about credits or anything. When I give the example of the initially released 1280*1024 resolution EXE file, it's because most modders just provide black boxes that are incompatible with each other, and provide no information about their work.
UPatch exe file is non-standard, DRS files are not compatible, etc. The guy that wants to play SP games with additional fixes just can't.
I don't question your intentions, I know you provide information when requested. For example your documentation about empires.dat changes is very complete, that's a very good point.
But it's not between you and me, it's about the modding community. There are not hundreds of good modders, they mustn't have to do reverse-engineering to use other modders's work. It's a crazy waste of time. The open-source model allowed LucTieuPhung to find a lot of things you used in UPatch. Don't forget to preserve this open-source model because UPatch is not the final step of AOE modding, modders will continue searching/finding things once you've release a final version.

That's why I worked a lot to add additional modding layer to UPatch - the UPatch Mod Manager (as I explained above, it will be available in the final).
Everything else you said is possible without UPatch with either the gaming client in question or your program, nothing is hidden. Not to mention you can always modify/replace .dat files the way you want.
Any questions asked here will be treated as UPatch related. I already spend too much time explaining things in detail in the forum. Those who want other information should search or make a new topic in the forum. That's the right thing to do and also what's fair to me (I'm not some sort of search assistant).
Please refrain from any comments here that are not directly related to UPatch general usage or rating.[Edited on 11/19/14 @ 04:04 PM]

Thank you for the kind words. :) I understand you, but the idea for such version was abandoned long ago, when UPatch was decided to be a real unofficial patch. There are many reasons for that, some of them:
* I remind everyone this comment section is only about UPatch, so I only talk about it
1. Such version already exists in a certain gaming client! Alternatively, you can also try Binary Patcher + one of the posted interfac.drs files.
2. I can't add any new features - to be competitive with the client version mentioned above (such as Random Teams, etc), without breaking compatibility (causing crashes or out of sync errors). While their version is binded to their client, but this also prevents compatibility issues.
3. In any other case I would have to make at least 3 new versions (1.1 + one for ROR 1.0 and one for ROR 1.0a). This will further divide players in Multiplayer (everyone will have or prefer different version). Old versions should die, not being revived or multiplied.
4. The question about this possible "resolution only" version was included in several UPatch surveys (where users vote for changes) and voted only 17%, 83% voted for the full version.
5. I always wanted only one version to be available and my work and efforts were focused on this version. There are many great new features that will come in the final version, which will hopefully attract a lot of players.
My vision about UPatch and how it started is with bug fixes and corrections for the big injustices about some units and civilizations. I managed to keep it close to the original and the changes made were discussed and voted by the users for over a year. It's true, even simple bug fixes change gameplay, but it's inevitable and applies to any patch (official or unofficial).
I hope you understand my reasons. :) I'm in the process of removing some of the changes, so you are welcome to tell me which are less liked and problematic for you, user opinions matter. The discussion is here:
