How to set up Advanced Genie Editor for Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition

[@Manulera]

thanks for the video. I'm wanting to create some mods for my fun in the game.
can you make a tutorial of it?

[@Zetnus]

What kind of mod are you looking to make?

[@Manulera]

@@Zetnus When building a castle and a logo appears in front of it.
Or maybe the arrows shot by the archers, soccer balls, something like that. this is just an example

[@Zetnus]

@@Manulera I could do a video where I go over some of the tools that can be used to modify graphics

[@Manulera]

@@Zetnus I'll be happy.
But make more videos about it too. I'm sure many other people would be interested.

@@Zetnus With the Return to Rome DLC coming up and some changes that it will make to tech trees, I am hoping to design a mod that gives Cannon Galleon access to Goths and Byzantines. Byzantines for sure are being set to lose Cannon Galleons and get something called the 'Dromon' as an inferior replacement.

I got the game from Steam and advanced genie editor 3 opens fine, but when i modify the cost of going to feudal age, the game just reaches the xbox "video/logo" and then just closes the game. Anyone knowing what might be the problem? From what i can se from other people on forums the pathing seems to be fine.

Try creating a mod with a copy of your edited game data instead of changing the main one in the game files.

@@Zetnus Any idea on how to create a mod? Like what path to create?

[@Zetnus]

@@suni5889 In general you want to mimic the path that exists in the game files for the file you are modifying

[@Manulera]

I'm a 3D illustrator by the way. So I think I could contribute a lot to that too.

Hello I want Display the Units,but i always get The message No sprites associated with...How can i change this?

[@Zetnus]

Advanced Genie Editor cannot show the new graphics format (sld). You can download an old version of the game with the steam console or from steamDB to get the old files in the smx format and save those somewhere. Then select that location in "Path for Loose SLP files"

[@Arcodus]

Thank you!

[@ザブ-z2c]

not work (after RoR?)

[@97jettatrek]

Thank you!!! This solved my issues!!!

[@Youshisu]

you can override path, put path to main folder in that field, then click button on top to load defaults :P

[@Zetnus]

Yeah, I only noticed that later :P

[@Spunney]

Doesn't work for the Microsoft Store version of the game

[@Zetnus]

Unfortunately the MS version is inferior if you want to get into making mods or custom content.
