Hotkeys file

Post by Gichtenlord »

Hey,

Im searching for the hotkey file from aoe3 right now, but I cant find it anywhere. I want to drastically change my current hotkeys, but if it turns out bad, I'd like to have a back up of my current hotkey profile.
Does anyone have an idea which file it might be? :D

The hotkey file is NewProfile3 in Mygames/ageofempire3/Users3.
You have to create a new file to change your hotkeys DefaultKeymapY, otherwise you can change it from User.con which is in C:/Steam/steamapps/AOE3/Bin/Users iirc

Also, you can't use an edited version of Defaultkeymapy on ESOC Patch. Only on RE.

This isn't 100% true. You cannot use one on EP that has been modified in specific forbidden ways (at least that's what's intended).

It may be in the current release that it's forbidding things that aren't intended to be forbidden, but if so I believe it will be fixed in next update.

Btw, I'd like to take the opportunity asking for what are the best/most popular hotkey mods out there?

I'm very sure there are more hotkey mods. Maybe not super popular, but afaic top players have been fiddling around with hotkey mods and special key binding sets (at least that should be common). Could anyone tell me which key bindings are popular and which hotkey mods would be most appreciated? :)

Can't you just use the actual in game option to change the hotkeys? Or am I missing something?

He wants to back up his current hotkeys before changing anything
