nyan VS AA2Unlimited

While the openage converter could already generate modpacks from the original game assets for a long time, the engine couldn't really understand them yet (except for loading/showing single animations for testing). This has been changed now with the addition of a simple internal mod manager as well as loaders for getting game data into the gamestate's nyan database. At this point, the gamestate still doesn't have any logic that can do something meaningful with the data. However, it gets us one step closer to testing features with "real" data instead of the more generic tests and demos that we've shown before. This also means that you might see more AoE2 or SWGB visuals in future news posts!

NEW: [nyan] Release v0.2 (Link) nyan file format version numbers optional members - can be None or a value children object members - can only hold heirs of the speficied object abstract object members - can hold object where not all members have values dict members - key-value storage with arbitrary types (keys must be hashable) infinity handling for numbers int and float compatiblity

nyan will be used in openagededicated servers (not as in AoE2DE that is utilizing lockstep and relay servers). openage uses a curved-based approach instead of lockstep (e.g. Tech of Planetary annihilation blog post).

We will publish a blogpost for this soon-ish when I have more time again. Currently, the gamestate is stuck in a planning phase because this needs to be merged and we can only draw a bunch of diagrams. I would like us to do a weekly or bi-weekly blogpost series like we did for the modding API to show gamestate progress, so that it will be more visible.

Here . I do not use AA2 mini (and won't change to it either by fear of breaking the game) , so if you have any question about it , installation problems or anything else try to contact the makers on their discord , its at the bottom of the page . Also it comes with AA2 unlimited , which is a massive extension to the game . You can learn more about it Here . I know a thing or two about how some of the custom stuff works (Only the thing to make hair look better tbh but it's something) . And if you want to install custom characters , OP already sent a link in a comment below , it's a database for custom characters . (Funny how a .png contains so much informations)
