Installation notes

Installer flags

With SetupAoC.exe -i:FLAGS, you can programmatically specify which features to install. The FLAGS part contains 0/1 flags for disable/enable, or 2 to use the default (or already-existing when installing UP onto an existing UP version).

The order of flags is, left to right:

  1. Use widescreen command bar style
  2. Enable window mode (does not work in Wine)
  3. Enable automatic port forwarding with upnp (does not work in Wine and may cause issues when playing on LAN)
  1. Use alternate red minimap colour
  2. Use alternate purple minimap colour
  3. Use alternate gray minimap colour
  4. Extend population caps (up to 1k)
  5. Replace snowy terrains with grass
  6. Enable water animation
  7. Enable precision scrolling, instead of half-tile scrolling in plain AoC
  8. Enable appending to unit groups when holding Shift
  9. Activate hotkeys on keydown
  1. Use new savegame file name format rec.yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss.mgz
  2. Enable building multi-queue

  4. Disable water movement
  5. Disable weather
  6. Disable custom terrains
  7. Disable underwater terrain
  8. Enable numeric age display in the game score area ('1' instead of 'Dark Age')
  9. Enable touch-screen support
  10. Store spec addresses [TODO what?]
  11. Use system default mouse cursor

  2. Enable custom chatbox (for Wine)
  3. Use low quality environment
  4. Use low 1.0c framerate in singleplayer
  5. Disable extended hotkeys
  6. Force enable gameplay features: multi-queueing and multi-delete (also known as shift-delete)
  7. Display the 5th 'ore' resource in the top bar
  8. Disable multiplayer anticheat
  9. Set default background mode [TODO what?]
  10. Use slow multiplayer speed in single player too
  11. Enable scenario/rms debug logging
  12. Statistics font style [TODO what?]
  13. Background audio playback [TODO what?]
  14. Disable civilian attack switch, for game mods that add custom civilian units. Prevents an issue where they turn into standard villagers in some situations
  15. Handle small farm selections, for mods that have 2x2 farms
  16. Enable research events in chat in spec mode

Individual patches

When you hold the Shift key when clicking the install button in the SetupAoC installer, you will be prompted to confirm every single patch that will be applied to the game. This is error prone but allows getting much more specific than the above if necessary.
