Agra Fort Hotkeys Fix?

Post by forgrin »

I know that most people already have this figured out, but if someone could please tell me how to add the Agra Fort hotkeys that'd help a bunch. I've tried searching for a solution but the only thing I could find was Bramboy's code for a user.con file, but I couldn't get this to work.

Search the file user.con which should be found in the /MyGames/Age of Empires 3/Startup/ folder.
If it doesn't exist, create it using a text editor like Notepad. Make sure you don't have file extensions hidden, because the editor might force a hidden .txt extension. So make sure the file gets saved with the extension .con and nothing else. Add these lines to this file and save. Restart AoE3.

Code: Select all

// Find Agra
map("control-f", "game", "uiFindType(\"ypWIAgraFort2\") uiFindType(\"ypWIAgraFort3\") uiFindType(\"ypWIAgraFort4\") uiFindType(\"ypWIAgraFort5\")")

// Train units
map("d", "WonderAccel", "tis(\"ypSepoy\")")
map("s", "WonderAccel", "tis(\"ypNatMercGurkha\")")
map("f", "WonderAccel", "tis(\"ypRajput\")")

// Train units in batches of five
map("shift-d", "WonderAccel", "tis(\"ypSepoy\", 5)")
map("shift-s", "WonderAccel", "tis(\"ypNatMercGurkha\", 5)")
map("shift-f", "WonderAccel", "tis(\"ypRajput\"), 5")


Replace map("key" with whatever combination of keys you want.

ty. What do I do with this exactly? I have a very similar set of code from Bramboy's post I found but when I put it in "C:\Users\aidan\Documents\My Games\Age of Empires 3\Startup" as he says, nothing happens. If it helps I'm using the steam version and have no other mods installed. How do I save this as a "user.con" file?

Slick, got it to work. Thank you! Un-hiding the file extensions was the key :P Tried game vs computer, macro on point now lol.

It is because you've got hidden common file extensions and the file is actually called user.con.txt. Check file extensions above hidden items and you should see the issue.

@MaJoOorchEf_GaZa select the checkbox that says "file name extensions" and delete the .txt from the file name.

right click in the folder -> new -> new text document -> copy the text above into it -> save it as user.con -> if there is still .txt at the end -> delete ".txt" so there is only user.con left

copy this and paste it into the user.con file:

// Find Agra
map("control-f", "game", "uiFindType(\"ypWIAgraFort2\") uiFindType(\"ypWIAgraFort3\") uiFindType(\"ypWIAgraFort4\") uiFindType(\"ypWIAgraFort5\")")

// Train units
map("d", "WonderAccel", "tis(\"ypSepoy\")")
map("s", "WonderAccel", "tis(\"ypNatMercGurkha\")")
map("f", "WonderAccel", "tis(\"ypRajput\")")

// Train units in batches of five
map("shift-d", "WonderAccel", "tis(\"ypSepoy\", 5)")
map("shift-s", "WonderAccel", "tis(\"ypNatMercGurkha\", 5)")
map("shift-f", "WonderAccel", "tis(\"ypRajput\"), 5")

d = hotkey fo sepoy
s= hk for gurkha
f = hk for rajput

and same with shift d, s and f...you can change d,s and f into any key you like...but all is explained above actually^^

Pretty sure it has hotkeys to train units but doesn't have a hotkey to find it iirc. This method should work to make a "find agra" hotkey tho.
