Town Centers are nolonger accidentally overlapped by some non beta graphics. Sea Tower Graphics colors have been fixed. Dirt Patches nolonger overlap other graphics.

If you think that you posess a pre release of the games age of empires 1/2+ exapansions, contact me immediately on the provided email betaĪnd ofcourse ensemble studios! I am so proud on your works but it's good that these things hopefully wont be forgotten. > Phatfish: For providing me with some beta's > Tommy: For helping me search beta materials on the web. > Oliver: Who brought me into editing aoe2 If you have questions or comments or just want to share knowledge on aoe2 you can add my msn, it's: inform me if you plan to use graphics from this project for your own work, thanks. Tip: you can make customized random map scripts to make an extra cool beta look on the maps. I hope you enjoy the game and make your new beta maps! I worked hard to fix most graphics to their best beauty but remind that not everything is perfect because the game was in development. One important note: This is a compilation of several stages of the pre release phase of the game.

I'm very happy to have this project come to an successfull end after doing almost 3 years of research of searching the entire web for beta versionsĪnd screenshots from early stages from the game.

This makes the mod give a much better look as previous attempts to convert the game to betastyle failed due to limited time and the aoe1 frames. I removed all aoe1 frames and replaced them with similar beta frames from the units that ensemble studios (the creators) finished. Yeah, the orriginal beta didnt had all it's unit frames created yet, so the designers decided to replace the unfinished unit frames with aoe1 graphics. I have also kept to a cool policy called, no aoe1 frames! Putting all frames into slps, adjusting the game's data file by adjusting all game's frames,Īdapt dozens of graphic id's and importing deleting and replacing massive amounts of slp graphics. Many weeks, dozens of hours went into the project by extracting, fixing, and re palette all frames. (so far I know off that noone posesses an older alpha than 00. This unique project will reveal some pre alpha terrains that never have been shown in the real game before. Terrain tile sets back from the pre alpha without being required to own that version. I managed to recover several terrain graphics to their full glory with cutting out their textures from overĢ7 alpha screenshots of the game with recombining and overlapping the textures til I got the complete > Conversion to beta sounds including unknown civilization speech soundsīut the terrain graphics have been my most intensive project of all!

What some people have only seen on pictures will be brought back to reality by reviving the amazing alpha style of the game featuring: The game has undergone almost an entire conversion to the days back in 1998 and early 1999 when age of empires 2 was still in development.
