Topic Subject: HOW TO: Play Old Classic Custom Scenarios on Age Of Empires II : HD Edition
posted 04-07-13 08:14 PM CT (US)   
Hello all! I went about making a quick tutorial on how to play old favorites like Castle Blood, Mini CB, Smosh, Tower Defense, UDP, etc.

The process is fairly straight forward, but here is a guide nonetheless

I didn't mean what I posted here. I was being a dick for no reason, didn't give you a chance, etc, etc.

CK, my respect for you is diminishing exponentially already.

In all seriousness, please CHILL. He just registered today, don't scare him out - even if he actually happened to be advertising.


Huh. Nevermind.

it's an explanation on how to download workshop files. while I guess it has to be done for those few dunces who can't do it themselves, this is his first post and it's advertising his youtube video. I appreciate his work and that he took the time to do this (I should say, his video editing skills are far superior to mine)

let me rephrase my previous comment: This is a decent video with superior editing, and I will be looking at your channel for more content - but posting this here is unnecessary, and to me seems as if you are asking for free views. I also feel as if the title of the video insinuates that there is some gimmick that needs to be used to make the files work properly. I don't mean to be rude, and am sorry if you posted this here trying to help someone legitimately - and I applaud that goal - if this is the case, I didn't mean what I said above. (I only mean it if you are a view whore )

Sorry for offending anyone...

I used to hang around on the heaven forums all the time on a different account, mainly for Age of Mythology. I would have posted on that account to perhaps have a little bit more...legitimacy? among people around here if I could remember my old account information, it was years ago.

But as I lost my copies of the Age games, I stopped having a reason to come here.

I realize that the process was pretty easy in the video. But even if something is easy, if you don't know where to start looking, it can be difficult to figure it out for a first timer.

As for the title, I tried to make a title with key words that someone would type in to the search bar if they wanted to play the old maps but didn't know what the steam workshop was capable of.

Once again, sorry for offending anyone..

Hey, it's a nice guide for people who might not know how to get the maps!

yeah, as I said I judged you harshly before looking more closely at your channel.

yeah i would like to see the bro's around here helping you make videos about the use of age and turtle pack, just as an easier way of learning what i have missed before in those programs?? that one would be really usefull bro!
posted 04-09-13 09:00 PM CT (US)     16 / 27  
Oh I'd be down to do that. I'd need your guys help though, Perhaps some skype calls. I don't know much about those things either and I'm SUPER rusty on my scenario games like CBA.

I'd be perfectly willing to help with some map/scenario design stuff. email's in my profile (this button: ) above my posts.

I can assist with scenario design/triggers. Mail is in my profile. A modding tutorial on youtube would be great, but I have very little experience with it, so I can't help with that

I could help with the data editing, but there are people here that are better at it.

it does not matter if there are people knowing more than you; just set an easy goal how to add a new unit with age and how to add the new slp's and their corelation with the data id; than how to add a new civilisation, how to make higher elevations...and so on simple but accurate, and always in high resolution so we can see the buttons.
posted 04-10-13 02:09 PM CT (US)     21 / 27  
Yeah, I agree on the civ idea. :S
posted 04-10-13 03:19 PM CT (US)     22 / 27  
I don't think it'll be possible for age2 HD though.

Damn.

If you guys are interested in doing something sometime regarding the ideas you guys brought up, add me on skype: swingpoynt

Life has been ridiculously busy lately. So I'm sorry for not cranking out some of your suggestions. Between college, work, side jobs, and planning out my summer months, I'm swamped.

I'll have to do a bit of learning with scenario editing, personally I never put much time into learning it before.

@DJeronimo, I fully agree with making them simple and the quality high, nothing is more frustrating than watching a tutorial and not being able to see anything. I tried doing that with the one I posted here.
Did you feel like the video quality was high enough? I made the bit rate enormous and sent it in at youtube native HD resolution of 1280x720. I also added sharpening effects to make it more clear since youtube makes things a bit fuzzy with it's compression software.
posted 04-11-13 05:44 PM CT (US)     25 / 27  
youtube offers an option for "original" quality. what does that mean? no compression?

I believe original quality means resolutions beyond 1920x1080
posted 04-12-13 04:21 AM CT (US)     27 / 27  
the video quality is perfect, swingpoint. also i recommend doing short "how to do"-s. do not invest much time in a single huge video; always a short made and posted on youtube, another time, another short one and posted, this is more than a huge unfinished one...best, jerry
