FAQs

Note. If you require support with AnalyticalEngine, be sure to check either our Discord[discord.gg] or GitHub[github.com]. AnalyticalEngine is provided under an open-source, MIT licence framework.

Questions:

For all installation-related questions, we will assume that you are using Windows as your default operating system. Operating-specific instructions are available in the mod's README.txt file.

AnalyticalEngine is not starting up on Windows after dragging AOC3-Source.jar into the basegame directory.
This can sometimes occur if you have misconfigured your Java SE Runtime installation, i.e. if there are duplicate installs. You can attempt a command line startup by pressing Win + R and typing 'cmd'.

Then type 'C:', then cd to the base folder where AnalyticalEngine is located. On most Windows environments, this command is 'cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Age of History 3"'. Afterwards, run 'java -jar AOC3-Source.jar'.

This will work in most cases.

Can I use AnalyticalEngine for modding, or modify AnalyticalEngine in any way I want?
Yes.

How do I install AnalyticalEngine from the Steam Workshop?
  1. Subscribe to the mod.
  2. Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\2772750\3429582135
  3. If you are using Windows, run jdk-23_windows-x64_bin.msi. Otherwise, open README.txt.
  4. Copy AOC3-Source.jar
  5. Go to your Steam library > Age of History 3 > Manage > Properties > Installed Files > Browse ...
  6. Paste AOC3-Source.jar into the same folder as aoh3.exe or game.jar, depending on your game version.
  7. Start AOC3-Source.jar.

Does AnalyticalEngine use Java or Javascript?
AnalyticalEngine principally uses JavaScript, NOT Java. To add a .js file to your mod, simply create a .js file in your given mod/ directory. AnalyticalEngine will detect this and load it in.

This currently does not work for workshop/content/ paths, though we plan on changing this later.

Does AnalyticalEngine have Multiplayer?
Yes. This is currently in beta testing and may be unstable, but modded Multiplayer is supported.

What mod is displayed in the photos?
The other mod displayed in the photos is 11:59, which is a Cold War mod we are currently working on developing. It is available for ddownload from the GitHub, where it is stored in src/mods/11.59 alongside src/game/map/11.59.
