Game of thrones mod. (Graphics reskin)

[iamyawer]

Hi,

Was just wondering if we can remod, change graphics current graphics/textures of games into game of thrones fan based art.

@EAGLEMUT What you think about this idea, would modding/changing graphics and making it more themed is possible or bad idea ?
Any pointers or constraints as far as development is concerned.

Thanks,
M Yawer

Quality idea! I suggest we reskin dragoons to look like dragons. The spelling is almost the same and they are both weak to bows.

It can for sure be done. Custom models with animations I believe is challenging though.

Hope it's not based on season 8 though, what a poor ending to a great show.

Yup, season didn't ended well started as underrated show, went to all the heights wonderful build up, and season 8 become just overrated, but the battles they have cinemaized is just great. Never saw such intense battle, effects etc.

As of developments heads up, where can i find textures, how do u guys nerf some civs, do u have code of actual game, or how it works ?

Then, make the fusion with a flamethrower and a balloon

@Imperial Noob Not sure, but it takes time, right now just discussing feasibility.
@EAGLEMUT
Just checked, he was member of age of Wars of Liberty Mod team. So makes sense.
I wanted just simple reskin, at user end, like different skin of the standard game. Just like counter strike skins, where you don't have to download extra setups and stuff neither will be any game mechanics altered. So standard game just with different skins. If you can guide which files have to be altered, for changing skins (little guidance will be great).
But just wandering how do u guys nerf the game, or Jutlander and team made age of liberty mod etc. Do they source code of it. ?

[EAGLEMUT]

I see. To do that, I believe you would need to extract the relevant art files from the game's bar archives using AoE3ED, alter them how you want and put them back into your game installation folder in the same directory structure as they were in the archive.

But just wandering how do u guys nerf the game, or Jutlander and team made age of liberty mod etc. Do they source code of it. ?

Much of the game logic is defined in XML files (check out protoy.xml in your game data folder for example), so it can be changed without having the actual source code (which they don't have).
