SMX works for DE, just make sure you set it up correctly. Should be something like this:
Path for DRS: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\AoE2DE\resources\_common\drs"
Path for loose SLP files: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\AoE2DE\resources\_common\drs\graphics"
Path for palette configuration: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\AoE2DE\resources\_common\palettes\palettes.conf"
Path for player color palette: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\AoE2DE\resources\_common\palettes\playercolor_blue.pal"
Ensure that the boxes for these are all checked as well.

Hey, been using 2021.3.15 till recently and now started using 2021.5.9. Now, within an hour of using it I realized that all Effects in the Effects Tab had lost their names and now simply display "Effect".
Never had this problem before.
Is there any way this can be solved?
Thanks.[Edited on 05/12/21 @ 12:00 PM]

Hi andskar. Which game version are you editing? Can you show me a screenshot? Do you have discord or Steam? |

Hey Tapsa, looked like you accepted my suggestion of updating the armor class values. While I appreciate it, I think that it is still bugged to a great extent. |

8. Cavalry - it refers to horses in English and all mounted melee units in AoE2. So I think 'Mounted units (except Camels)' will be a better term. Camels do not have this armor class, which is an important thing.
11. All buildings (except Port) - Port was never used in AoE2. It is an alpha building. Better remove it to avoid confusion.
15. Archers - this gives a wrong impression about the literal archer or usually foot archers. Better it is renamed to 'All Archers'.
16. Ships & Sab. + Camels (until TC) - Actually Camels got the classification in TC while they were scrapped in AK. I think the legacy Camels should be removed from here, because in Conquerers, Camels were referred to as Ships (no other justification of putting them together). Sab. are also scenario editor units, which are unusual in general. Better rename it to 'Ships except Fishing Ships'.
17. Rams & Trebuchets + Siege Towers (since HD) - 'Rams, Siege Towers and Unpacked Trebuchets'
19. Unique units except Turtle Ships - In an update, now Turtle Ships are also classified as UU. So the except term is misleading.
26. Castles - Castles, Kreposts (and Fortresses)
31. Leitis Defense - Special Melee? Standard Melee (like Standard buildings)?
32 and 34. Shouldn't they be plural?
Also, it is better that the (since --). It is either obsolete because of being legacy stuff or being partial (Spearmen, Eagles, Castle were also introduced in TC). No need for DE2 also because DE1 and DE2 use separate names. |

Also 28. Cavalry Archers - like Cavalry, it shares the same problem, but even wider - it misses Conquisidors and Arambais. Better rename it to Mounted Archers and Conquisidors. (Arambais are variations of Conquisidors.) |

@Jackbend
Make sure you are using AGE from the Tools_Builds folder of the DE as it is currently the latest version to work with the new data format (2021.5.12).
It will be updated here soon as well.[Edited on 07/07/21 @ 08:20 AM]

Bit of a specific question, but can anyone offer some insight towards how I can edit vil resource gathering (gather rates, resource drops, what causes a vil to lose their carried resources) using the editor? I've looked, but can't seem to find anything on the topic. any help appreciated, thanks in advance. |
