Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

Hello all
I'm french (so my english is not very well, sorry in advance) and I'm in a Team : We are creating a Stargate Mod for AoM: not a single unit, but a complet mod based on Stargate SG1.
We are seeking people who are intersted to join the team.
we have tutorials for moding aom on the website.
You can find news on the website: http://www.stargate-alliance.fr.st
If U R interseted, join us ! (we can speak a little english for explain you the french of the tutorials )

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

why is every good modelling tutorial (even though this was copied from AOM-MOD, lol) in french?! i'm only half french and can't read it too well, and most people don't know any french... we need a good human translator for these things

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

lol. Wait this was copied from aom mod?

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

nah, the tutorial for making models in GMAX is the exact same one as the one on the site AOM-MOD

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

Hey...

I'll join in if ya can get it to me in English, lol :).

I can't seem to be able to model (just doesn't work...), but I'll do some anim and texturing if ya need a hand.

Contact me at shimano55@aomfiles.com.

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

Yes the tutorial are made by Zomac of the AOM-MOD website: I have meet him on a topic that I have made to recruit people for the Stargate Mod, and he had made the tutorial for that, but he had stopped moding AoM, so he had given me the permission to take his tutorial for the Stargate Alliance website.
I need some time because I have importants exam in a week, but after that I'm OK to create a twin version of the website, all in english.
The forum of Stargate Alliance will be online sooner, and I will to brief all the team to post in english in the forum.

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

That'll be cool. Thx.

Good luck on your exam. lol :)

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

your exam consists of learning english.

mais je vais essayer parler un peut en francais sie tout le monde veulent a stargate... ;)

tu sais, je suis demie francais! mais je n'ai pas de bon grammaire...

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

lol
That you have writen is very comprensible for a french.
I have speak with 2 of the 3 cowebmaster to speak english in the forum, and to do an other version of the website in english, and they were ok.

Did you know other dynamic forums of Modding AoM ?
I need recruit for the mod.

I have a question in the AoM Modding:
I've try to mod the ui buttom of AoM: but the mod dosn't run:
I'v have try to convert the original file in .bmp and without moding on it, to reconvert in .DDT with the same palletted configuration (with AoMed) and the file didn't run into AoM 'the moding of the face of the god run, but that non: I think it was because the .bmp file lost some information of the .ddt , have you an idea to resolve this ?
Thx in adv

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

the bmp file doesn't lose information... make sure the file is in the right place (aom/textures/ui??) and also in the right format (bit / palette / mipmap format with aomed, and it should be .DDT)

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

I can read spanish... Can you read spanish master spinal? O know the languages are really closely related.

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

lol

A little off topic, but I supoose it's related to the language barrier...

not that that's even part of this thread either... i dunno. lol :)


I can sorta write spanish....

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

hello (my english is not very well to)
I am in the Masterspinal's team and you are "bienvenu"(sorry:thumbsdown: )

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

You're Welcome in English
The language isn't a matter, I don't speak Spanish, juste French, a little of English and Italian.
For the .bmp I have just retry this with two different files of buttom, and there is anything in the games, I have respect all the condition for the conversion into .ddt files and I have place him in the right place, and ther isn't this picture in the game (ther isn't the original picture).
I Know how convert the .bmp and .ddt: I have made the tutorial of the edition of the interface, and I have reach for the god, but not for the buttoms (I have respect all the condition for the .ddt -> .bmp, and for the .bmp -> .ddt)

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

est-ce que tu peux voir ton characteur mais tu ne peux pas voir ta texture, or est-ce que tu ne peux pas voir ton characteur du tout?

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

anything more happening with stargate?

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

Ima not sure....

he kinda stopped posting....

lol :)

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

meh, give him time

donnez-lui le temps ;)

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

You know......

I'm not real sure.... lol

I gave him my e-mail

still nothing though...

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

I'm here, I'm not all the day on the web, and in France we haven't the same hour...
It's not an edition of texture of an unit of AoM, but an edition of a button of the interface (ui) of AoM. The edition of an unit texture I know do that.
I've tried with different button, and i'm not get to reach on running the edition in the game: I have no button. I've tried without edit the original ddt (I've put him in .bmp, and after in .ddt with the same information of coding, and it's doesn't run)

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

are you sure you didnt mess up anything?

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

maybe you've misplaced the file? is it in textures/ui?

if it is, then what button are you modding?

-----------------------------------------------
est-le fichier en le repertoire textures/ui
si c'est, quel bouton edict-tu?

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

So what are the units designed for stargate?

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

i'm guessing futuristic ones, like that tank on the site...

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

ya....probably....lol :)

these are gonna look weird in Age of mythology....:D

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

Ya lol. I could proll imagine it. Do we have a stargat in it?

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

duno lol
did you mean "stargat" or "Stargate", lol cuz one could mean a futuristic gun, and another could mean a space gate lol...

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

well yeah thats what i meant... Is there a stargate in it or not?

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

duno... prolly just the name of the mod

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

Lol. Why have a mod with a title named stargate with no stargate in it?

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

[sarcasm]uh... age of mythology. we have archaic, classical, heroic, mythic, titan, but no mythology age! huh! :p:lol: [/sarcasm]

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

Hello all
For the buttom, yes I've put the .ddt in the textures\ui folder
I've tried to edit "ui button long skinny 192x32.ddt" and "ui button arrow down 32x64.ddt"
If the files .ddt aren't in the good folder, in the game the defaut buttom would run... but here nothing.
For the mod, it's a Stargate mod, no just an other title for Age of Mythology.
We want to make unit of Stargate: For the Torri (Humans) Goa'uld and the other...

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

I've forget to tell you the main for Stargate Alliance: the age are alliance now: We choose a civilisation with we made an alliance fo use their technology (upgrad) special unit...

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

@MasterSpinal: You need to make sure that your DDT has the correct original name, or if it is a new icon, that it is defined correctly wherever you want it in techtree, ui, etc.

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

@MasterSpinal: Make sure you did not change the name of the ddt file to some file that does not excist...

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

anyways...

make sure that you didn't rename the ddt and that you put it in the correct folder: the base texture folder.......

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

no, not the base texture folder. he's modding an icon, remember? so it would either go in textures/icons or textures/ui.

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

o ok.....I didn't know that.....suppose I should ahve read the thread....lol

Yes...ok... than base ui or icons folder.......

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

what icon are you modding? where is the icon?

quel icône édites-tu? ou est l'icône?

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

I've tried to edit "ui button long skinny 192x32.ddt" and "ui button arrow down 32x64.ddt" of the textures\ui folder
I let the original name when I edit .DDT in .BMP and .BMP in .DDT, and I've tried to edit these buttom a lot of time, but it's always the same result, like when I didn't edit th .BMP before to put it in .DDT

Ok for the double post and the mail

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

hmmm... i dont know what's wrong...

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

Neither do I.

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

There used to be 75 posts in this thread, now there are 42 (without this one and any that might be posted while I write this) Stay on topic, it's pitiful that I had to delete that many, including some by moderators. Don't respond to this specific post, just go on posting about the stargate mod, which, in my opinion, should be very cool! A conversion mod, or addative?

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

wow.....
lots of editing Ash.....

I was wondering were all my posts went...:)

Ok..
BoT: Is this going to be a BIG mod pack with units and stuff...???

or is it gonna be a redo of the entire game......from your replys about editing the ui, it sounds like a redo.....

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

yes is it full conversion, part-conversion, or a big modpack?

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

The project is to made a full conversion.
It's for that we 're seeking to recruit a lot of people.

Ashatay the Blue>> OK Boss

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

lol
ya...thx for the big edit Ashatay...

ok..a full conversion is gonna be cool.....

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

so is this sort of a futuristic full conversion? i saw some models of tanks and things on the site...

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

I don't know if the tank (for example) that I've maded will be in the mod, because there is a matter of compatibility with 3D of Gmax and AoM: only the sphere would be compatible with aom, for the other, it's edition of the original moddel with the vertex, we don't know all of that yet. And for madding a tank from a toxote (taxiarque) with vertex.....

Re: Stargate Alliance: a mod for AoM
 

i thought so! it's got toruses and cylinders and all sorts of things...
