This is a fork of the project created by JcBernack - https://github.com/JcBernack/anno-designer
The presets update can also be downloaded automatically by the application.
Keep up to date the latest developments. If you have any ideas or questions that you want to share with us, or are running into an error with the designer, then the discord is the perfect place to join.
The Anno Designer is a standalone windows application that can be used for creating and exporting layouts. It uses a drag/drop system and is intuitive and easy to use.
The Anno Designer supports the following Anno versions: 1404, 2070, 2205, 1800.
Download the latest version from the here (select the .exe file). Run it, and use it to design layouts!
Anno Designer can also be started from the command line for advanced usages.
Please see this documentation for more information and examples.
This application is written in C# (.NET Framework 4.8) and uses WPF.
The .NET Framework is available via Windows Update and further information about installing is available on this site.
The building presets and icons are extracted from game files using the RDA explorer and a custom script written by Peter Hozak.
See the development pages at wikia: http://anno2070.wikia.com/wiki/Development_Pages
StingMcRay has also done a lot of work on this, extracting icons from Anno 2205 and Anno 1800.
Included in this repo is a modified version of the PresetParser - which supports the extraction of data from all the different Anno versions. It is not required to run the app (and is not included in any release).
