[Mod] Visible Corpses

[Yorok0]

Updated the mod for the game version “101.102.18071.0 (#83607) 11179620” (Return of Rome DLC). Big thanks to Paradox Phantom for sending me the Return of Rome decay files!

@VanDeep4109 I am glad to hear such kind words from you Knowing that other people enjoy my work means a lot to me.

Would it be a lot of work for the Devs? It doesn’t seem to me like it would be. I emailed about this and they told me to look at mods. I told them that’s not the same thing.

Battlefields being littered with corpses and skeletons was one of the things that made me love the original game. It was immersive and realistic and just looked cool.

@Yorok0

I have created a special program for changing decay graphics files. I switched this program to SLD format based on this documentation - “https://github.com/SFTtech/openage/blob/master/doc/media/sld-files .md”. Remove space from that link. I had to add space because for some reason this forum obfuscates link otherwise.

Yorok0’s link has a click-counter in it in their original (non-quoted) post, which makes it a little confusing to know what the link should look like. (You now need to remove the space and the click-counter number.)

To help others who may come across this thread, here is the link again, where you need to remove the space. The difference here is that it shouldn’t get a link click-counter embedded into your copy/paste due to how I formatted it in the forum:

A tool to open .SLD files from the game’s devs would be great! There is another thread talking about SLD files here in case you didn’t see… but yeah, there’s no dev tool, it seems:

Tools to edit / open / extract .SLD files

Hi Devs, is there a way to extract/opem/edit the new format .SLD files in AOE2DE? Also what are the measures to remedy the non-working of the colour mods? These are important matters which we would appreciate good quality tools for modding. Thanks!

[Riekopo]

AOE2 DE will always feel incomplete to me without the decaying corpses/skeletons of the original.

Makes the DE version feel more for kids than adults in that respect, which is weird since the game is about battles. Why would 8 year olds be the target demographic for such a militaristically themed game?

And why can’t parental controls be added for that so adults can play the game in the way they have been for decades in some cases. This would also solve the chat filter concerns at the same time. Two adults can’t play a private match without the filter erroneously filtering harmless chats
