Hi, welcome all modders, here i will post changes that you need to make on your modded "asset" pack in order to avoid crashes/errors becausee of recent dev. version changes.
like now.
i have just put in 2 graphics that are shown when u win or lose a multiplayer game, and unless u copy these to files into gfx folder the game will crash on popping up that dialog.
so: copy these 2 images into /gfx folder

Has anyone thought about making it so we could share our Maps? Like I will design it, I sent it to someone who knows about triggers, then he will send it so someone could write dialogue.

also you need to have these images in gfx/indicators folder

@Strategist I think you forgot to post "indicator_production_callout.png" and "aos_show_productions.png" images, at least I don't have them in AoG.

bad news: the new traget sdk thing killed modding since the app can not read your storages to read the modded jsons.
so if u havea working modding version do not update the game yet
or have the good version backed up somewhere for you

there should be an image in gfx/wallpaper/default.jpg
as a loading screen on launching a map.
put there some image to avoid crashes.
(the image location is configurable in initilization.json but whatever not important to change)
