ROL User Patch Project Posted on 1/28/2017 at 8:12 PM by alincarpetman A Rise of Legends User Patch Project has been proposed as this may be a final chance for the game to get the update it needs. This type of project is similar to what was done for AOE1 , AOE2, and RON. Take a look at those links to get an idea of what is involved. We have several free copies of the DVD version of the game specially available to be mailed to any interested programmers and modders who are serious about working on the game but don't have a copy yet. If you're interested please post here . Rise of Legends Latest News Posted on 5/19/2016 at 1:29 AM by alincarpetman Rise of Legends isn't completely dead as players are still playing the game and talking about it online on Youtube, Reddit, Steam, etc.. In case you haven't checked in for a while, here's the latest news on the game from recent years: - Motter made 3 mods for the game which you can download here and here - A Modding Guides Pack was released here and here - A ROL Encyclopedia was compiled here - Check out some Let's Plays on Youtube - After 10 years of waiting and limited modding, the archived BIG files have finally been extracted thanks to a new program, ROL BIG Archiver created by Ryder, which will finally enable players to mod most of the 3D models, graphics and more. You can download the program here , submit any errors here and donate here , and discuss it here For the moment you can edit ROL 3D models in 3DSMax only, but Rise of Nations 3D models can be edited in both 3DSMax and Blender with this addon here In the future we may also have a Blender addon for ROL files as well so check here if you can contribute to the modding project - A Rise of Nations 2 Total Conversion mod is now possible using ROL BIG Archiver, 3DSMax and other programs. Discuss this project here We are offering free dvd copies of Rise of Legends to any programmers and modders who would like to help us work on these modding projects, contact alincarpetman(at)heavengames(dot)com if you are interested - You can view some images of the newly extracted BIG files here . There are a few more versions of the world map of Aio which you can see there. Some of these maps were pieced together from multiple tiles and we need a graphics artist to finish or restart the job editing one map as some of the image tiles don't match up properly or are missing. You can download the images here and either post at Moddb , at the HG forum or email me with your work - There is no word on a ROL Extended Edition for Steam yet, but you can contact the development team at Skybox and Forgotten Empires with your support and ideas - If you have downloaded the ROL BIG Archiver and are making mods, you can post the mods at HG and Moddb and start your own project thread for discussion in the forum here HeavenGames - 10 Years in Heaven!
