An Introduction to Big Huge Script (the script language used in RON) #1a - Hello, and welcome to my Rise of Nations scripting FAQ. I wrote this because of the small amount of decent documentation on the complex scripting language used in RON scenarios. Use the script in your own material if you want, just please upload it. Not enough people play Rise of Nations anymore for me to care too much about credits, but if you use my stuff it would be cool if you gave me some credit, cause some of this took quite a lot of work to fine tune and make work.

Rise Of Nations Hack Script

This script supports:
- Rise of Nations
- Rise of Nations: Thrones and Patriots
- Rise of Natoins: Gold Edition
Please note, that it does NOT support Rise of Nations: Extended Edition from Steam. There is no known workaround for it yet. Since the game engine was redesigned to utilize DirectX 10 instead of DirectX 9 there are some Wine compatibility issues.
This relies on Wine 1.7.18, a version known to work really well with Rise of Nations. The additional depdencies required for sound and video to work properly are: directmusic, dsound, mfc40, mfc42, msvcirt, msxml4, and vcrun6.
There is a false-positive report from PlayOnLinux that says that Wine has crashed when launching the installer. This can be ignored and this script does notify the user about it before it executes the launcher.
Outside of Wine, the Rise of Nations configuration file at 'drive_c/users/$USER/Application Data/Microsoft Games/Rise of Nations/rise2.ini' is tweaked. The introduction and main menu videos do not work so they are disabled. That file can also be used for turning on/off fullscreen and setting any custom resolution.
Test Environment:
- Operating System: Fedora 23 x64
- CPU: Intel Core i5-2410M
- GPU: Intel HD Graphics 3000
