TL;DR:
- Make a new bookmark
- Copy the contents of the snippet below into location field for a new bookmark.
- Call bookmark whatever you want, I went with
AoE2 DE Mod DL
.
- Make sure you are signed into the website (https://ageofempires.com/mods), if you aren't, the API will just reject your request.
- It's completely free and doesn't care if you own the game on that account.
- Navigate to mod of your choice and click the bookmark.
- Wait for a bit, the API tends to be slow...
- You should get a download popup for mod's archive.
- Extract archive into something like
C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\Games\Age of Empires 2 DE\SOME NUMBERS\mods\local
- For example I want x256 techs mod (mod id: 832), I would extract contents of the newly downloaded
aoe_832.zip
into folderC:\Users\alyti\Games\Age of Empires 2 DE\1212112121212121212\mods\local\aoe_832
.

Hi @alyti , Thank You so much for this bookmark.
But recently some mods are not getting downloaded. It looks like the recent mods URLs are having 6 digits at the end.
https://www.ageofempires.com/mods/details/124423/
The older mods had 5 digits and the above Bookmark worked.
I see the Regular Expression is set to {1,5}
parseInt(location.pathname.match("([0-9]{1,5})")[0], 10)
When I changed it to {1,6}, I am able to download the mods, But for some reason, AOE2 crashes when I launch the mods.
Please let know if you can help with this. If I am able t fix it, I will fork it. Thanks in advance!
