THANK YOOOOU
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

i gonna try thank =)

I have no idea why the sphinx would disappear after deactivating this mod, try verifying file integrity of the game.

How can I repair that ?

when i take of the mod my sphinx disappeared

Still works for me, make sure it's activated and move it up the mod priority list.

No longer working.

Unfortunately no. Any mod that modifies the anim files is automatically tagged as Desync Sensitive even if the animations themselves aren't modified. If you copy the content of my mod and paste it into AoM's main folder, it should technically work online without causing desyncs with people who don't have the mod installed, but I don't recommend doing that.

can you make a version that isnt desync sensitive?

Love the mod. The sphinxes are beautiful. I wish I knew how to put in Yu-Gi-Oh Sphinx Telia and Andro Sphinix.

nice

The 2 last are awsome

Underrated mod

Nice job, I always felt that was missing from the original. The only thing I might suggest is that the "human" face is colored to match (or at least be similar) to the lion body. The ram head and eagle head might look better if they were recolored to match the lion body as well.

Thanks for the mod! It's nice
And I would like to know if it is possible to have a mod that allows to have a "Myrmidon" (without shield) in heros please
thank you ;-)

merci pour le mod ! C'est sympa
et j'aimerai savoir s'il est possible d'avoir un mod qui permet d'avoir un "Myrmidon" (sans bouclier) en heros svp
merci d'avance ;-)

Yes, this mod is compatible with my White Roc mod, the head of the Hieracosphinx will remain brown.

Works with the White Roc Mod? cause the roc's head used in the hieracosphinx

Like I said to General Arnold, I can't tell you everything in this comment section and it really depends what you want to do.

Look here to get you started on modding the game in general:

Look here to get started on models:

How do you add content to the game?

sympa

cool, didn't know i could mod the steam game, ty!

superbe :D

@Nick3069
Also an ecellent work. Thanks

I was serious and thanks!

@General Arnold
Is that a rhetorical question or are you serious? Without going into too many details, you need 3DS Max (2013 or higher) and a maxscript plugin to convert the models from and to .brg format.
You can get a free educational version of 3DS Max if you're in college/university and the AoM Model Plugin maxscript is available on SourceForge.
You'll also need an image manipulation program like Photoshop, Paint.NET or GIMP, the latter 2 are free.

How do you do this?

@Android
I probably will not cover everything in that mod, but I am working on more unit upgrades.
Check out my Promethean and Argus upgrade mods if you haven't already.

Maybe you might be interested in making a few more myth unit upgrades? :) In fact, there is an existing mod that does all missing upgrades, but I feel like it doesn't quite match the quality of your work: http://steamproxy-script.pipiskins.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=260543805

Ahh yes that's what I meant. I see. You're right, it's not worth the effort. Thanks for a great mod and keep up the great work :)

@Android
Collar feather? Do you mean the black thing that sticks out under the chin? That's the original sphinx's beard, I could remove it, but I would need to modify every sphinx animation. I don't currently plan to remove it because it doesn't bother me that much and it would be a lot of work.
Maybe I'll fix it eventually.

Thanks for the support. :)

Great stuff, love the update! The Sphinx is one of my favourite units and I love having proper upgrades at last =) Hieracosphinx looking sharp now!! Just maybe one little detail: there's a small collar feather or something that doesn't really fit in. From afar (in this pic, too) it sometimes looks as if the beak is open but it isn't, it's just a little Roc leftover I presume. If you can remove that it'll be perfect!!

Just released an update, now Hieracosphinx and Criosphinx have a new bored animation based on the unused teleport animation. The Hieracosphinx head was also modified slightly.

Enjoy!

Nice mod!

I see =) Also the hawk head could be a little larger, considering that it's the highest upgrade :)

@ Android
Very observant! Yes, Bored C is a slightly slowed down (or sped up, can't remember) version of Idle A. The reason why I did that is because I didn't like the Bored B animation with the new heads, Bored B is the one where the sphinx licks its paw, so to replace it I created Bored C with the same animation lenght as Bored B to avoid desyncs.

Bored C is more of a placeholder for now, I might create an actual new animation to replace it later down the line.

The goat head one looks proffesionally done, but the hawk head is a little jarring, overall looks like a solid mod however

PS: To update, simply publish the same mod again - it'll push the update to all subscribers :)

What is the Bored C animation? Looks like Idle A. Maybe a leftover in the anim from testing? :)

I love it!

@nephi
What bad textures? I've used vanilla assets: the hieracosphinx uses the roc's texture and the crioshpinx uses the goat head part of the chimera's texture and I didn't modify the standard sphinx's texture.

Bad Textures :')

J'adore! Vraiment, je trouve cela fantastique! Bien joué!

Un petit mod que j'avais bien envie de voir
