Get Started

How to Get

  1. Install Visual Studio Code.
  2. Install the Anno Modding Tools plugin.

How to Open Files

Most features only activate if you a open folder (e.g. File > Open Folder...) that includes one or more full mods (detected by modinfo.json).

You can also work with parent folders, or your complete mods/ folder.

The plugin will prompt you to select your game path.

You can adjust that manually. Go to File > Preferences > Settings and search for anno to configure the following:

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

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

See also the Setup page for detailed documentation.
