Once you have installed Mod Pack Studio, open Modpack Studio, click New Project and name it to MyMod.axp.

You can then create an install script (akx file) which allows you to play them in game. In short, you can import bmp files and slps into Mod Pack Studio very easily. You can find Mod Pack Studio here and the Mod Pack Studio Tutorial here. This will allow you to create akx files which can be ran by other people.

To create a modpack the only necessary program you need is Mod Pack Studio. Then you will need to install them yourself using Mod Pack Studio. I have found a mod I like but it is just bmp images/slp files? How can I install these into my game? You can go back to your game now and the modpack will be permanently installed. Simply find Mod Pack Studio and click end task. This will take you back to your desktop (failing that click the windows button and then press ctrl+alt+delete). If you are going to do this I recommend backing up your graphics.drs and your terrains.drs from your AoK/Data folder first.Īfter you have loaded your modpack and you are in the game simply press ctrl+alt+delete. I sometimes find permanently installing modpacks helps the game run more smoothly and allows multiple modpacks to be run at the same time. It will uninstall the modpack automatically when you exit the game. Most likely you will want the modpack to run on Age of Conquerors so click that and it will automatically load AoC with the modpack installed. Then double click on your chosen modpack and it will bring up a box which you can either choose Age of Kings or Age of Conquerors. MAKE SURE YOU UNZIP THE MODPACK FIRST into a folder. When you have installed Mod Pack Studio you can download and run your modpacks. To run these modpacks you need to install Mod Pack Studio. Most of these come in two formats aks (Age of Kings) and akx (Age of Conquerors). If you have spent any time on the blacksmith recently you will notice there are many modpacks on there which people have already created. Luckily, for us, there are many ways of editing the data and graphics of AOK thanks to all the fantastic 3rd party software developed over the years. In AOK modding the game is relatively easy once you know how and all sorts of wonderful things can be developed to improve the game. What exactly is a mod?Ī modification can be anything from changing graphics, sounds, icons and stats of a game. You can also go to the AOKH Mod Pack Stable (which I never knew existed) here. Feel free to ask any questions, but be sure to read the up to date tutorials linked in this tutorial for more information. Here I will discuss everything there is to know about modding data and graphics in AOK.
