Quickly Reskin Existing Models

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)

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

See also the Setup page for detailed documentation.

Write a yaml file like below and name it .cfg.yaml. IFO, FC/CF7 and CFG files will be generated accordingly. Files are copied if they have the same name as the source. Modifications are currently only supported in IFO and CFG files.

If you have townhall.cfg, townhall.cf7 and townhall.ifo, then a townhall_1.cfg.yaml leads to generated townhall_1.cfg, townhall_1.fc and townhall_1.ifo.
