:< The Launcher has a section for Mods where you can get and upload mods. Preorder AoW4 is possible until may the realease date, i suppose that for this game it is too late, but for all the games ?Ĭarighan: For those who get it day 1, can you get the rest of us updated here how the mods are being done? Are they done through the launcher instead of Steam Workshop?īecause with AoW3 at least I could download the mods that were 90%+ all just published on the Steam Workshop via a downloader, but those no longer work. Will you plan to do something about mods issue and unfair competition from Steam ? I don't like companies like Steam that allow themselves to appropriate the rights to the work of others. (For mods i will do, i will put them on paradox site, so every one will be able to use them, even GoG users. I really really like to preorder this game from GoG, but been unable to DL mods is a major issue. => And it seems that now, it does not work anymore. Today and before preordered AoW4, i just tried to watch if steam downloader still working, I also modded them and placed my mods on Nexus and Paradox site,įrom these game, I also used mod from Steam and i was abble to DL them with a 'steam downloder' tool. Personnally i perchased AoW3 and AoW:PF on GoG, I've got a copy of the modding guide Triumph released for AoW3 hosted here [if you want to peruse it.I really really like to pre order this game from GoG,īut as you know, Steam is the only platform that allow to (easilly) use mods.įor AoW4, it is possible to place mods on paradox site, but few modders put their mods on it.

Hopefully, that gives a bit of an idea of what was available in AoW3. I imagine that for AoW:PF, they will at least have something similar available at release or sometime soon after. The clb files contain all of the icons and textures.įrom what we were told, the mod tools for AoW3 were variants of the developer tools they used. The rpk files contain all of the object definitions and details for the game, which consists of basically everything that isn't some sort of art asset. Game resources are mostly in custom archive formats that can be read by their Resource Editor (rpk files) and Content Editor (clb files). Anything that is coupled with the interface also usually can't be modified (e.g.

You can't modify the interface in any way, scripting or otherwise. It supports some scripting (Lua I believe), but only in certain circumstances. AoW3 uses a 32-bit version of It, but they upgraded it to 64-bit for PF. Triumph uses the Creator Engine, which they built themselves, and have been using and updating for many years.
