Hotkeys

Post by WilliamRuiz »

Hi at all

I actually want to make units in India Fort using hotkeys.
Are there any way to do that?


And I want to use some keys as ¨tab¨ but it is not possible.

The hotkey editor for AOE 2 is working on AOE III?, are there any way to do that I said before?

https://aokhotkeys.appspot.com/editor


Sorry if my English is not good at all.

thanks.

Yes. Go to \Documents\My Games\Age of Empires 3\Startup and open user.con with a text editor. Then add this code. Change the hotkeys to whatever you'd like.

Code: Select all

map("shift-p", "game", "uiFindType(\"ypWIAgraFort2\") uiFindType(\"ypWIAgraFort3\") uiFindType(\"ypWIAgraFort4\") uiFindType(\"ypWIAgraFort5\")")
map("q", "WonderAccel", "tis(\"ypSepoy\")")
map("w", "WonderAccel", "tis(\"ypNatMercGurkha\")")
map("e", "WonderAccel", "tis(\"ypRajput\")")
map("shift-q", "WonderAccel", "tis(\"ypSepoy\", 5)")
map("shift-w", "WonderAccel", "tis(\"ypNatMercGurkha\", 5)")
map("shift-e", "WonderAccel", "tis(\"ypRajput\", 5)")
It's impossible to use tab as a hotkey.

You can use tab if you manually modify the xml file that stores user settings with a text editor. There might be unexpected compatibility problems tho. I use tab to find TP and cycle through TPs

You have to create the file Bramboy is talking about, it's not there by default. Create a new text file with that name, and paste the code Bramboy listed into it.

Also it's supposed to be "user.cfg" not "user.con", I think.

You'll have to create a text file, rename it to 'user' using something like Notepad and then copy the code and save it with .con extension

If you're looking for a barracks hotkey for gurkhas in game, you have to scroll down the hotkeys section for barracks hotkeys and set hotkey for Urmi Swordsman (which is actually gurkha but developers forgot to change the name, This is fixed in the ESOC patch)

@ab0101 @WilliamRuiz

Yes, you have to create the file. Alternatively, download my file and drop it in

Code: Select all

.\Documents\My Games\Age of Empires 3\Startup
