Hello Programmers, Comrades and Modders! For years, we have been creating scenarios and events restricted to static images. We add a picture of a war, and it just sits there. A picture of a nuclear explosion? Static. But not anymore. I have been digging into the source code and I realized something crucial: Age of History 2 runs on LibGDX. Why does this matter? Because LibGDX natively supports complex animations via TextureAtlas and Animation classes. The code was always there, sleeping inside the game engine, just waiting for someone to wake it up. I have successfully implemented fully animated, looping events without breaking the original game compatibility. 🚀 What I Achieved I modified the Menu_InGame_Event.java class. The logic is simple but powerful: When the game tries to load an event picture (e.g., war.png), my code first checks if a .atlas file exists with that name (e.g., war.atlas). If it exists: It ignores the static image and loads the SpriteSheet using the Atlas, creating a smooth loop animation. If it doesn't exist: It falls back to the default code, loading the static .png or .jpg just like the vanilla game. This means you can have animated events and static events in the same scenario without any bugs! // Logic inside Menu_InGame_Event Constructor String sEventRawName = CFG.eventsManager.getEvent(EVENT_ID).getEventPicture(); String sBaseName = sEventRawName; // remove extension logic... // Check if the .atlas exists if (Gdx.files.internal("UI/events/" + sBaseName + ".atlas").exists()) { // Load the Atlas and create the Animation this.modAtlas = new TextureAtlas(Gdx.files.internal("UI/events/" + sBaseName + ".atlas")); Array<AtlasRegion> regions = this.modAtlas.findRegions(sBaseName); this.modAnimation = new Animation(0.15f, regions, Animation.PlayMode.LOOP); this.isAnimatedEvent = true; } The Rendering (The Draw Method): We use stateTime (delta time) to calculate which frame to show: In the draw() method, instead of drawing the static Image object, you use the stateTime (delta time) to get the current frame from your Animation and draw it using the SpriteBatch. // Inside the draw() method if (this.isAnimatedEvent && this.modAnimation != null) { this.stateTime += Gdx.graphics.getDeltaTime(); TextureRegion currentFrame = this.modAnimation.getKeyFrame(this.stateTime, true); // Draw the current frame oSB.draw(currentFrame, x, y, width, height); // Force the game to keep rendering (otherwise it pauses on static screens) CFG.setRender_3(true); } 📂 How to make your own Animations You don't need to be a coder to use this once the code is in the game. You just need: A SpriteSheet: A PNG containing all frames of your animation. An .atlas file: This maps the frames. You can generate this using GDX Texture Packer (Use the Legacy settings/version, this is crucial!). Place both in UI/events/. I am attaching an example (SoldierRunning.atlas and SoldierRunning.png) so you can test it yourselves. 🌟 The Future Imagine the possibilities: Events with soldiers actually marching. Nuclear explosions that animate. Flags waving in the event wind. News tickers scrolling. The engine was always capable of this; we just had to write the lines to let it speak! Although I used it for events, it's more than that and can be used in any other contexts or images! I am not releasing my file, not because I wanna lock knowledge, it's because I think it's simple to people to do, and because my code is full of nonsense (like superevents, etc) I will send a .gif file showing the use of it (what I achieved!) Download the example files below!

For real. I am really disappointed, but I guess that's what happens.

AOC3, Open Sourced. Take a sledgehammer to those modding restrictions. --- AnalyticalEngine (Project Orion) is a game engine that opens up the core binary code of AOC3 and removes hardcoded features and mechanics by allowing for full NashornJS scripting in mods, as well as providing an API for Event Conditions, Effects, Game Scopes, modded Multiplayer (MP) support, and custom mapmodes and UIs. This allows for full hybrid Java and JavaScript modding support. To get started with modding in AnalyticalEngine, simply add .ds/.js files in your mod folder. These will be automatically detected by the game engine and executed in-game. Consider also reading the attached Documentation or asking for support from our Discord server. Installation: GitHub | Steam Latest Release: 0.6b - Centurion. (Make sure to check GitHub installation instructions before downloading). Install Java SDK 23. Download the current src/AOC3-Source.jar, and drop it into any basegame AOC3 directory. You may now either run it normally as a Java binary or via the command line in the extracted folder if you wish to access AnalyticalEngine's console: java -jar src/AOC3-Source.jar - Documentation: Note: Documentation is currently a work-in-progress and may not necessarily be complete. Custom Mapmodes Deepscript (Event Conditions, Effects, Loops, Scopes, Variables) Map Data Scripting Information Nashorn Scripting Features: Current Feature List. Added Singleplayer support for the Multiplayer build of the game. Custom Event support. Custom Mapmode support. Custom UI support. Fixed various localisation glitches. Fixed various map glitches. Full NashornJS compatibility and scripting. Modded Multiplayer support. Overhauled Editor UIs: Civilisations can now be directly edited by right clicking on a Civilisation in the Scenario Editor. Province Names can be edited directly from in-game editors. Resource Editor overhaul. Scenario Editor overhaul. Terrain Editor overhaul. Overhauled tooltips now allow for inline coloured text changes and images in Events. Reworked Conditions (Triggers) and Scopes. -

It would also probably take 3 decades to make all those provinces anyway. And this mod would be extremely unfun with a million provinces. Making scenarios would be a nightmare as well, and it would run like a river of cement.

..Why?

A mod based on The New Order mod for Hearts of Iron 4. Discord: https://discord.gg/89BpAWjDGM Recommended: AI Aggressiveness: 0 to 50 percent (Prevents extreme border gore) Fog of War: Classic AoH2 TNO 1.1.1 Scars of the Scramble • Huttig flavour events for SAW • Rebellion and devastation states for Huttig's Africa • More outcomes for OFN Mandates decolonisation • West African War • Vietnam War and other Indochina content • Antarctica added to the map • Improved Indonesian War • Updated Moskowien • Reworked Indian subcontinent • Updated subideologies • Probably other miscellaneous changes I'm forgetting due to how long it has been since last time Android: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QNCzv9r-EDjon5w_PVBncbdUmIVaIefw/view?usp=drivesdk PC: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10B2Yiogz5gyMrV-ikJor9NuxGgjaXXZE/view?usp=drivesdk Credits: This scenario served as the base of my mod so that I didn't have to draw the borders from scratch. It also had events till the German Civil War and South African War. The ui sounds and older map background are taken from Project Imperator, a now discontinued mod. The creator of an Equestria at War mod, Dmitry Bunt told me how to set min ai aggressiveness to 0%.

any news or is this abandoned

Guess who's back! It's Game of Thrones new mod. Map is made by @yazılımcı, you can check his original mod right here: But what I did, is took his map and remade entire thing. New font, new civilizations, new countries, new stories.

Remember when Megamod existed? Do you also remember when there was this era of combining AoH2 mods together to make absolute amalgamations? Well I have been working on a project and it is called: Amalganation! What is the mod about? This mod combines many mods across the AoH2 community (including Russian mods and a couple of Chinese mods) and it shall be one of the largest AoH2 mods of all time. The concept came from my previous combination projects and also how influential Megamod was before that collapsed. This includes NWR, Sieg Redux, World Ablaze, World Crisis, QBAM and many, many others! Are there any issues with the mod? There are a few problems with the mod though and it is that a port of the mod to the smaller screens won't be available due to the file integer limit so it is only exclusively on PCs unless if someone finds a way to port the mod. There are also many bugs in the mod as I'm typing this and because of my personal life piloting when I can mod, it will take quite a long time to get everything to function properly. Will there be any release of the mod? For now, the mod is in private until further notice. Apologies for not getting your hopes up for this huge mod I worked on. PC: [Unavailable until further notice]

Northeastern tribes as of 1440. Some of these might not have existed as of then.

Mam pewne pytanie do @Łukasz Jakowski dotyczące AOH3 Na początku chciałbym powiedzieć że jest to naprawdę dobra gra, może jest kilka rzeczy do naprawy ale gra się naprawdę przyjemnie szczerze mówiąc mi gra się lepiej w AOH3 niż np. HOI4 czy EU4. Jest to naprawdę wspaniały projekt prosta i przejrzysta grafika (nie tak jak w EU4) dobra optymalizacja (nie tak jak w HOI4). Wiem , że jest to moja subiektywna opinia, ale myślę, że wiele osób się ze mną zgodzi. Ta gra ma tak wiele możliwości. Można w niej grać tyloma państwami, przez tyle wieków. Ale ostatnio trochę się o tą grę martwię. I w mojej głowie rodzi się kilka kluczowych pytań które chciałbym zadać Panu Łukaszowi. Czy te wszystkie rzeczy które dodaje Pan do odświeżonej wersji AOH2 zostaną dodane do AOH3 (konferencje i sianie propagandy to coś co z chęcią bym zobaczył). Czy AOH2 edycja ostateczna jest teraz Pana głównym projektem? Ja naprawdę nie chcę Pana za nic hejtować ale uważam, że AOH3 brakuje naprawdę nie wiele aby stać się grą niemal idealną wystarczy nieco poprawić AI aby było większym wyzwaniem, dodać mechaniki z odświeżonej wersji AOH2, ponaprawiać błędy i to już będzie naprawdę coś. Osobiście w samej grze poprawiłbym głównie 2 rzeczy. 1. Poprzypisywał bym technologie do wieków tak aby np. W 17 wieku mieć technologię z 17 wieku a nie (jak mi się to kiedyś zdarzyło) mieć w 17 wieku bomby atomowe) nawet nie trzeba zwiększać(wydłużać) procesu zdobywania danych technologii bo z tym też mogą być problemy np. Zaczynając w wieku 11 damy radę w 17 wieku mieć technologię z tego właśnie wieku, ale zaczynając z wieku 14 nie damy rady mieć technologię z 17 wieku właśnie w wieku 17. Ale przypisując technologię do danego wieku rozwiązalibyśmy ten problem ponieważ w wieku 15 moglibyśmy mieć maksymalnie technologię z wieku 15 a nie np. 19. Czasami nieco denerwuje mnie to, że walcząc z kilkoma państwami bardziej opłacalne jest chodzenie jedną wielką armią niż kilkoma mniejszymi. O wiele ciekawszym byłoby kierowanie naraz kilkoma armiami. Np. Walcząc Rzeczypospolitej Obojga Narodów z Rosją bardziej ciekawym byłoby kierowanie 2 armiami na Inflantach 2 na Białorusi i 2 na Ukrainie niż jedną wielką. Okupacja mogłaby też wyrządzać o wiele większe szkody dla prowincji przez co gdy np. grozi nam Szwecja musielibyśmy trzymać armię na granicy ze Szwecją, tak aby np. chronić naszych bogatych prowincji przed zniszczeniem i splądrowaniem. Trochę się rozpisałem, ale mam nadzieję , że to przyniesie efekty 😛 Niezależnie od podjętej przez Pana decyzji życzę Panu dużo szczęścia i pomyślności, ponieważ Pana gry dały mi naprawdę wiele godzin i wspaniałej zabawy.

Long time no see! In the past year and a half, I have also created my own engine. If you are interested, you can try it. thank you Engine name: Zetvl

Just this moment, then let's start. This is the configuration file for the mod. We are planning a big update, fixing several problems and adding a lot of new content. We will list these updates when we release them, or we can go to the game to check them out. This is the new version about the menu. The updated content will be presented in other items in this interface, and I will add other items.

Animation examples: Note: This feature was completed in September 2024.

AnalyticalEngine can be used for any mod. You can also fork, redistribute, repackage, or modify the engine however you wish to. Patch Notes (25 February 2025) - Beta 0.2. Regions Editor fixed. Steam Workshop page fixed (English/French/German). Main Menu overhauled so that the Multiplayer build can now load games properly. Added the following functions to Deepscript: getCivilisationFlag(arg0_civ_tag, arg1_flag_key) getGlobalFlag(arg0_flag_key) getProvinceFlag(arg0_province, arg1_flag_key) setCivilisationFlag(arg0_civ_tag, arg1_flag_key) setGlobalFlag(arg0_flag_key) setProvinceFlag(arg0_province, arg1_flag_key) removeCivilisationFlag(arg0_civ_tag, arg1_flag_key) removeGlobalFlag(arg0_flag_key) removeProvinceFlag(arg0_province, arg1_flag_key) getCivilisationVariable(arg0_civ_tag, arg1_variable_key) getGlobalVariable(arg0_variable_key) getProvinceVariable(arg0_province, arg1_variable_key) setCivilisationVariable(arg0_civ_tag, arg1_variable_key, arg2_value) setGlobalVariable(arg0_variable_key, arg1_value) setProvinceVariable(arg0_province, arg1_variable_key, arg2_value) removeCivilisationVariable(arg0_civ_tag, arg1_variable_key) removeGlobalVariable(arg0_variable_key) removeProvinceVariable(arg0_province, arg1_variable_key) Note. Variables do not currently carry between sessions. This can be manually implemented, but we are currently working on implementing that feature. We'll try to implement remaining Effects by the end of the week and move onto proper full-domain feature support and better cross-platform compatibility.

DEV UPDATE #1 - Regions And Hours. Since the last update, AnalyticalEngine has added in several new changes, including a revamped in-game Regions Editor, better Event limit optimisation, as well as adding back hours to the MP version of the game. Alongside other Map editors, the Regions Editor allows you to edit Regions from the game without messing with .json files, and allows for adding new regions more easily. It can be seen below: The new Regions Editor in action. There are several missing features between the Singleplayer (SP) and Multiplayer (MP) versions of the game, and we're working currently to bridge the gap. We still haven't really been able to properly confirm MP compatibility with these new changes, so they may be breaking in that regard. Additionally, we plan to wait until Lukasz settles down and much of the MP/SP gap is addressed before updating to newer versions. In this regard, we have also readded vanilla event parsing to Multiplayer games. Normally, MP Events are completely disabled - we have re-enabled them. We have also been working on further Deepscript Effects and laying the groundwork for Deepscript Variables. Once done, Variables will allow you to bind JS variables to specific scopes (i.e. Provinces/Civilisations), where they can be kept track of and displayed in-game. To this end, current Scope OnActions allow you to track players' in-game interactions and hook them to an Event, Custom UI, or even Mapmode. Various event handlers are also available to detect in-game page changes, for instance. Full Deepscript compatibility as outlinedd in documentation should be complete by March. Steam Installation. There has also been some confusion as to how you can download this from Steam. Simply put, you open your game's file folder, go to mods/AnalyticalEngine/, and drag out AOC3-Source.jar into your game folder before running it. Make sure JDK 23 is installed before you do. This is similar to how the Map Editor is installed. Anyway, that'll be it. Hopefully these changes are of use. We do not plan to immediately revamp the Continents editor in the same way since there are less Continents fpr this system to be useful, but we will also be considering it at a later date.

I am reworking this mod on AOH3. I posted it on my profile

What is Historicity? Historicity is a vanilla+ mod with an emphasis on preventing bordergore & improving game balance WITHOUT adding bloated, poorly designed features & buggy code. Historicity is just as stable and lightweight as vanilla AoH2 while being much more dynamic & immersive. Features Military system w/ retreats, encirclement & breakthroughs akin to Uwut Engine / Bloody Europe II Terrain Matters a lot now- use mountain ranges or swamps as defensive fallback lines The impact of dice rolls has been massively increased Military access has been removed from the game, preventing a TON of bordergore & frustration Rebellions Fixed & Balanced Plundering impact on happiness nerfed War Weariness capped at 25% Rebel armies don't have 10 guys in them lol New "ProvinceExchange" slider in new game settings By default set to 50%, providing EU4-like peace deals. Beating a country in a war DOES NOT grant you the entire country. Adjustable to your liking, set to 200% for an essentially vanilla experience Spectator mode adjusted to allow to easily fix bordergore new "toggle spectator" button in country decisions to allow easy access While in spectator mode, you can conduct any diplomacy between any two countries (most importantly, you can trade provinces to easily & comfortably amend bordergore) New "Historicity" difficulty mode above Legendary Even harder & comes with a new rule: recruited armies cannot make your balance negative. very fun and eu4-esque to further tweak, I recommend creating home-rules like not allowing yourself to declare war on a country unless your relations are below 50 or in response to an insult, not allowing ultimatums (they're basically cheating lol), not allowing unions etc. My recommended way to play the mod! Makes creating an empire much more rewarding! Miscellaneous Game Balance Administration costs have been massively increased-- provinces too far from your capital will NOT produce income. Take land wisely & vassalize lands that are far from your administrative center Research has been nerfed to stop the top countries from snowballing & being ~0.3 tech levels above the competition research/dev effects on military upkeep massively reduced military "defense bonus" feature removed (previously only affected military upkeep) Diseases removed Vassalizing a country sets them to your color Installation Instructions Android: download the file here & run the file (super simple) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rzvrbvK_tq0GJcngpYW9zBY3V3eWi51C/view?usp=sharing PC: make SURE you have the newest version of java installed, or the JAR file may not run correctly. Downloads at Java Downloads | Oracle Engine Only (note that the engine reads vanilla files, so you can't use the engine in a mod whose game files differ from vanilla (i.e. newer versions of bloody Europe, mods that change the contents of the Age text file or add brand new ui elements) https://drive.google.com/file/d/10g40xr5kYotq2FFAAXHql5S7P0Y7qCVd/view?usp=sharing 1. Unzip the folder & then drag/copy its contents into your Age of Civilization folder (it should prompt you whether or not you want to overwrite files-- if not, you pasted into the wrong spot.

Unzip the folder & then run the game like normal, comes with all files (Note that the only scenario I edited is the 1440 one--- The rest of the hundred or so scenarios are from various other mods that I've collected over the course of playing the game for years. Sorry I can't give everyone credit-- I just don't remember where I got them-- but I believe most are from Addin+) ((I highly recommend playing my edited 1440 scenario, it's the one I've meticulously balanced & the only scenario I've play tested)) Below are screenshots of campaigns I've played with the mod- enjoy! (note that this is not the result of the ai acting entirely independently- I manually stepped in to fix border gore when it happened. But this mod reduces its occurrence MASSIVELY while also giving you the tools to very easily eliminate it via the new spectator mechanics.) (ps. if you want the source code to build off of it for your own mod, just send me a message! Anyone is welcome to use my code.)

will the mobile version have a map option to change map scale, something like in aoh2?

What if I told you this mod is dead?

wow.... this is incredible

Yokuda suppose to be 4 times larger than Septim empire which is the entire tamriel, can you remake that?
