Syntax and Error Checking¶

Requires game path configuration.

Go to File > Preferences > Settings and search for anno to configure the following:

- Anno.*: Game Path: path to your Anno installation (1)

For example C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\games\Anno 117 - Pax Romana.

See also the Setup page for detailed documentation.

GUID Annotation¶

Displays name and template name of GUIDs.

This feature will also consider Mod GUIDs, if they are either: - part of your own mod - part of a dependency mentioned in modinfo.json and installed into the game's mods/ folder

Live Analysis¶

The live analysis applies your mod on save to the game and provides error and performance information.

Syntax Check¶

The plugin will scan you asset files for common problems like the use of outdated pools (e.g. 190611). The file must match the naming scheme assets*.xml to be considered.

Show Diff¶

You can check th results of one or more ModOps by selecting them and then right click > Anno: Compare Results with Vanilla.

Alternatively, you can compare full files and mods by right clicking on assets.xml, templates.xml and *.include.xml.
