Hello Dear Beloved AoE2 Community,
AoE2Tools Intro
Before I get AoE2Tools presentation, I would like to individually thank everyone who have participated in the private testing and debugging, especially u/linetyreborn for the massive daily testing and bugs discovery. I also would like to thank JRed and Dark_ who also reported so many bugs with at every occasion. Trirem, Robo and many others -- Many Thanks To All of You!! With Your Help AoE2Tools is now stable fully functionally... And seriously when the community comes together there is nothing we can not do!

How To Setup?
The setup is GRANDMA-FRIENDLY! All
AoE2Tools Setup is Grandma friendly!
1. Download AoE2Tools from Github Releases Repo:
Direct Link: https://github.com/gregstein/AoE2Tools/releases/download/3.1.0.1/AoE2Tools.3.1.0.1.exe
GitHub Releases Repo Link: https://github.com/gregstein/AoE2Tools/releases
2. Install AoE2Tools just like any regular program (or call your grandma to do that for you)
Double Click "AoE2Tools.3.1.0.0.exe" and click next then Install:
Install AoE2Tools
3. Launch && Scan
At This point, There are two type of players:
4. Pre-Converter And Personal Customization (Only New Players From Steam)
After You Click "1.Convert" This Small Window will be prompted:
You Can Choose Custom Settings Such As a Custom Installation Directory Where You Wish Install The Newly Converted Game (For Highest FPS and avoiding bugs that windows 7 -10 introduced like graphics not initialized, permission issues etc.)
I Highly Recommend Using The Default Directory Or Anywhere In Your LocalDrive "Avoid locations where your windows is installed" such as "ProgramFiles" ).
The Preconverter of "HDToAoC" is able to detect where your Age of Empires 2 HD is installed. But In case you have it installed somewhere else. That Fix It Button Should Be Enabled For You, so Just Click it and Locate where Your Legal copy of Age of empires 2 HD is installed.
You Also Can Choose Which "Offline Mods" and Hotkeys You Would Like To Install. Then Click "I'm Ready Let's Go"
5. Converting Age of Empires 2 HD (Only New Players From Steam)
Alright This is The Final Stage Before You Get Access To AoE2Tools and Be Able To Play On Voobly Instantly Without any Additional Settings.
Once You Click "I'm Ready Let's Go" This window will pop up:
Slap That Start Button And Watch Voobly Gets Installed automatically. The conversion Should Also Start simultaneously.
It Should Be Flawless And Smooth (no freezing) during conversion. (Keep some distance from The Monk as He might Convert you throughout the process)
Once The Conversion is Over The Configuration will initiate to automatically configure Age of empires 2 for Voobly and Add the game to your Firewall.
Voila! Once The Conversion is over. It will close automatically and prompt you to AoE2Tools.
