Hey first I like to say thank you for this tool and for the work you put in to creating it.
Also, I was wondering if this tool also works with age of empires Online as those are written in .bar format too. But when I try to create a .bar file it only has the options for DE and legacy. I tried both versions and they made the .bar file same size as the original one but my game won’t read either version even though it’s written in. bar. Is there a program that can do that or is there a way with this one to making it happen??
Currently app doesn’t support AOE:O but it’s possible to add. Where I can download game to start?
I was able to see all the info and textures so i thought it would work but when i tried to create .bar it was the only thing that didn’t work for me.
You need a steam account to DL it. That should give you the files you need.
I made some changes, can you please check it?
Ok I just checked it here is update
I am on version 0.5.0 of resource manager
Both did not work (Legacy or DE), as I put them into the folder the game says files been corrupted etc.
Legacy seems to create .bar file size the exact same size of the original… DE makes .bar files a bit smaller in size than the original. I am assuming Legacy is more accurate with .bar files with AoE online. But Legacy or DE still aren’t working as of right now.
EDIT: As of right NOW it IS WORKING… The problem was I had a copy of the original file in the folder as a backup and it was saying the game was corrupted, I moved that back up file to a new location and it loaded right up… If i run into any issues, I’ll let you know but as of now it is working like a charm… Thanks so much Vlad
Hi all, I’m new to modding and could someone tell me how to access the “data/wpfg/resources” folder?
I looked at some existing graphics mods and it seems all UI images, such as unit icons and national flags, are stored in that folder. When I use the Resource Manager to open the Data.bar, I could not find the folder.
I looked at the Github page, one of the screenshots showing Resource Manager can indeed access the folder (see below) Could someone please tell me how to access the “data/wpfg/resources” folder? Thank you.
open those .bar files in Art and UI folders
Thank you! The “data/wpfg/resources” folder is stored in UIResources1.bar to UIResources4.bar instead of Data.bar. Problem Solved.
Hi, I would like to export all EN and all FR texts from AOE3DE and then create sheets so I can quickly check if I found translation mistakes.
It looks like most data is stored in XML and can be exported as XML or JSON? But I’m not sure where I should look for the actual strings in EN and in FR. Can somebody give me a hint on which folders/files to check and then which XML TAGS to watch for? I’ll somehow figure out extraction later. Just hoping it’s somewhat isolated and not spread around all files.
I’m interested in all texts. UI/menus, story, subtitles, tutorials, anything ingame…
Much obliged!
Open the Data.bar and type : "English\ " that will amke you find all text files in english
Do the same as : "French\ " that will amke you find all text files in french
To open the XMl files, best of use is Notepad++’
