Agra Fort hotkeys

Damn, this is nice. I started using control q and control w, but that really gets messed up with the agra fort. Atm, if I select it and then try to go to my q or w control group, it just wont work as long as I have the agra selected.

You can customise the keys, I just picked a workable example. If you have conflicts, you can change the keys to different ones.

Yup

I meant that that is what happens without this fix.. Havent tried it with this fix yet.

I don''t remember which, but there are more. For example, someone asked me if it''s possible to use WASD instead of arrows to move on the map, but it''s not possible.

Its possible, ive been doing it for years, and i saw a vid of grunt a while back where he did it too. There is just a problem of conflict with the explorer abilities so u have to chamge some of those hotkeys to other than wasd. Then it works. I like it alot and for small screen movement during fights it means i can move screen while keeping mouse on units for micro.

Is it really necessary to have japan explorer teleport hotkey? One could click it fast enough.

PS: I don't play Japan.

Is there a hotkey to select all cavalry untis? I know that there is one to select all infantry unit.

I don't think so but it may be partly substituted by "Find All Of Selected Type" hotkey.

can someone post how to get the agra hotkeys and hotkey to make gate. I dont have them on this other computer.

Mr_Bramboy · Post by **Mr_Bramboy** » 27 Dec 2015, 23:53

Code: Select all

map("mousez", "building", "uiWheelRotatePlacedUnit")
map ("g", "game", "uiTransformSelectedUnit(\"CWallGate\")")

Make or edit a user.con file with any notepad program in C:\Users\Bram\Documents\My Games\Age of Empires 3\Startup and add these lines.

that is also to make the units from the agra?

Mr_Bramboy · Post by **Mr_Bramboy** » 28 Dec 2015, 01:26

Oh right, my bad..

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)")

Yes. No idea where your hotkeys are located, but adding this file won't reset your hotkeys. GUA has done it in the past and I'm using it right now.

The reason why you don't have any files in there is because you have never played the campaign and you don't have any custom hotkeys.

they wont reset. but your hotkeys are in the installation files and then data folder. however usually your TAD hotkeys arent extracted and you need to extract them with a program or get someone to send you the files.

editing those isnt too different than editing the user file, but if u accidentally hit, reset to default u dont have to reset all keys
