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!)

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.

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

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