#include "API/AdvancedGenieHook.h"

class FogOfWarRemover : public AGH::AdvancedGenieHook
{
public:
    virtual bool OnChatMessage(int playerID, const char* message) override;

#include <SDKDDKVer.h>

targetver.h -create a new header file called "targetver.h"

#pragma once

#include <SDKDDKVer.h>
 
#SDKDDKVer.h -create "SDKDDKVer.h" using Microsoft Visual Studio. This code specifies that the cheat is targeting Windows 7 or later by setting the _WIN32_WINNT macro to 0x0601. This will ensure that the cheat can take advantage of features and APIs that are available in newer versions of Windows.
#pragma once

// Target Windows 7 or later
#include <winsdkver.h>
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0601
#include <sdkddkver.h>

Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition

For Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition, the user.cfg and files should be placed in the following directory:

%USERPROFILE%\Games\Age of Empires 3 DE\Users\NewProfile\

Replace NewProfile with the name of the profile you use in the game. If you haven't created a profile yet, the folder might not exist, in which case you can create it yourself.

Note:> that %USERPROFILE% is a Windows environment variable that usually points to C:\Users\your_username. Something like this:

C:\Users\your_username\Games\Age of Empires 3 DE\Users\NewProfile\

Create a file called "configuration.txt

Note:> For Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition, the configuration.txt file should be placed in the same directory as the game's executable file (AoE3DE_s.exe). By default, #this file is located in the following directory:

"C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\AoE3DE"

Note:> If you installed the game in a different directory, you should look for the folder where the game's executable file is located and place the configuration.txt file there.

configuration.txt -Create a file called configuration.txt

game.opt = "-cheat:AoE3_cheat.dll"
user.con = "user.con"
user.cfg = "user.cfg"

The AoE3_cheat.dll from the C++ project should be placed in the game's installation folder, in the "bin" folder

Install Age of Empires III: DE HACK

install.bat

Create a file called "install.bat" should be placed in the folder containing all of the cheat files (i.e., # AoE3_cheat.dll, configuration.txt, user.cfg, and user.con) are located in the same directory as the batch file. When the # batch file is run, it sets the %USER% and %APPDATA% environment variables, and then copies the cheat files to their correct directories.

@echo off

set USER=%USERNAME%
set APPDATA=%LOCALAPPDATA%
set cheat_FOLDER="AoE3_cheat"
set cheat_DLL="AoE3_cheat.dll"
