Config Location

CONTROL keeps its configuration and your modules in this folder:

%appdata%\CONTROL\AoE2Control\

CONTROL creates the folder when it starts in the game. Open it from the game with Open Folder in the MODULES submenu, which opens modules\.

Contents

Item	Description
settings.ini	Built-in settings, the module assigned to each player, sync profiles and module-defined settings.
menu.ini	Position and size of the CONTROL menu windows.
modules\	Your Lua modules and packaged .module files.
diagnostics\	Reports from CONTROL's checks of the game version. latest.json is the newest one.
rms-staged.txt	Created only when AoE2RMSIDE starts a map from a local mod. Lists the map files CONTROL copied for it.

Module Folder Example

modules\
├── my_first_module\
│   ├── my_first_module.main.lua
│   └── utils\
│       └── logger.lua
└── ipc_test\
    └── ipc_test.main.lua

Limits

CONTROL finds entry files up to three folders below modules\, and require() names have up to four parts. See Module System for the naming and search rules.

Launcher Overrides

The headless launcher options write into this folder:

• --override-settings replaces settings.ini.
• --override-module copies a module file or module folder into modules\.

See Headless Mode for details.
