Porting scenarios and mods scenarios from AOE2 to ROR

Age of Empires II: DE II - Discussion

Hello,

Does anyone know how to port scenarios and mods scenarios from AOE2 to ROR?
I have tried with the GenieEdit but it does not work and I cannot launch GenieEdit on the command prompt…
what am I supposed to type: " cd GenieEdit"? It says directory not found or similar error messages…
Can anyone please help? :slight_smile:

AoE2 scenario parser.

How much Python do you know?

This is how you actually transform one format to another

https://ksneijders.github.io/AoE2ScenarioParser/examples/operations

This is a basic example of modifying an AoE2 DE scenario
https://ksneijders.github.io/AoE2ScenarioParser/hello_world/#7-changing-the-map

What you want to do is change the unit ID of every unit in the aoe2 file to an id you want in Return of Rome file, like, change Teuton Knights to Phalanx or Castles to Academies and whatever. Same thing for terrain

Use this
https://ksneijders.github.io/AoE2ScenarioParser/cheatsheets/units/
and this
https://ksneijders.github.io/AoE2ScenarioParser/cheatsheets/map/

These ID’s you can find using AGE3

Can this convert e.g. AoE1 scenarios (original or DE) into AoE2 scenarios?

No. And the guy who wrote aoe2scenarioparser, doesn’t seem to be working on making it being able to read AoE1 DE scenarios.

Shucks… But fair enough, it’s probably a niche interest.

I’m sure it used to be possible to just open an AoE1 scenario in AoE2, using the original CD versions of both games, but I can’t get it to work anymore.

The good old AoEH is still (barely) alive. You could find more people to help you there or useful resources.
