Really sorry for this ... I've fixed this error too. I've checked and that's the last thing which could possibly go wrong when submitting as it's at the end of the file. You shouldn't have a problem now. -
What exactly are you struggling with? Economy, food, resources, army .etc ?
-
That's a good idea, we could use that as the next competition, designing that map.

Thanks David, I've fixed this :) -
Adventure #01 - A Duke in Distress
Lord_Chris replied to Charles of Tours's topic in Adventures in the Duchy of Riverbourne
"That would be very useful indeed, Goodman." The Duke quietened his voice. "You never know when we may need your support, even against our allies". A few moments later the commander returned. "I've spoken and some men are going to bring maps into this tent. For the meantime, we'll take a short break; it will also give the servants time to clear the plates away." The Duke and Goodman stood up, stretching as they walked out. The commander signalled for a nearby servant to clean up the tent and walked out with them. They walked a few yards and observed the junior officer training for a while. Unlike the soldiers Goodman was training, these showed much more skill and competence. In a long line, they all practiced throwing their javelins at once. On their training commanders signal, they all raced to get their javelins back and threw their spears again. Instead of the training officer giving them the signal to collect, he pointed at one of the officers instead who moved over to a group of dormant officers to the right. The Duke turned to Goodman. "These are the junior officers" he mentioned. "The very best become part of the "Royal Guard"; their sole job is - or will be, to protect myself and my family. That officer has been nominated for consideration; his aiming was very accurate several times in a row and will be taken for further tests. Officers are put through much more strenuous tests which also determine other things, such as promotions." Other troops has now taken their place to relieve the officers of their shift. They were fully equipped with swords, armour and a shield, and before them stood a 6 ft wall. Their task was to jump it without using their hands. However, just as this training exercise was about to start, a guard came to the group. "The meeting room is ready, sir." he said to the Duke. "Splendid!" remarked the Duke. "We shall be in momentarily." The three trooped back into the tent, where a new scene awaited them; a long wooden table was present in the centre of the room, which had several pieces of parchment on top. The biggest of which was a large map of Blynohm forest. A large throne for the Duke, and two smaller thrones on either side were stationed at the other end of the table. As the three walked in and sat down, other senior officers came into the meeting. It was not long before the tent was fairly full with officers around the table and the Duke spoke. "We're gathered here to discuss important information on our Kingdom's national security." he began. "Our list of allies grows weak, our foes grow both in strength and in number. It is indeed, a dark day for Riverbourne. " a few voices could be heard murmuring in agreement. "It is indeed, the greatest challenge we face, since the Roman invasion." More murmuring continued. "I'd therefore like to propose my battle plan. Since we have few resources available, we need to scavenge what we have. My plan is simple, yet effective. I propose that we send some scouts out in the forest to see what danger lies ahead. We will see which path shows the least resistance, and we shall move towards the Mines of Xilious. If all goes to plan, we should be able to move the camp by tomorrow, only keeping border control here. This is crucial for our very survival, we must ensure that we keep moving so we cannot be tracked." The Duke pointed to a place on the map. "Commander Noggs- This is where you shall take your forces. Make sure that you keep your forces quiet as there are outlaws in the area. After you have taken the objective we discussed earlier, meet Commander Richard in Darkington. He will be able to provide you with more updates for your mission. We shall split our best forces across the forest, and then meet up in the Mines. This way, more of our forces will survive and we will be less likely to be detected as an "attacking force". The forest has many tunnels which allow guards to pop up in different places. Keep your wits about you. Do not trust anyone. We wait for the cover of darkness tomorrow night to be sure everything will go as planned. We now need to plan roles for all of our officers in this. Noggs, as we agreed, you shall be in charge of the second company. " The Duke points to a spot on the map. "Richard, you will take your guards from here to Darkington where you will meet up with Noggs. General Lindulf, you will take company A from here through the swamp and meet us at the entrance to the Mines. And Goodman- you shall be in command of the scouting. You move at sunrise. Let us know of anything further down the forest, our lives depend on the information you receive. I believe that practically concludes this meeting. Questions?" Several people waved their arms in the air to indicate they had questions and The Duke prepared to answer them. -

"I had a feeling you were not quite what you had seemed." replied the commander. "You may be wondering why the Duke has such badly trained troops, well, these were all I could gather at the last moment. We need these training well to take back the Duke's castle." He paused waiting for the Duke to finish easting. The Duke spoke. "For the moment, we train these troops. Under the cover of darkness, we should send scouts out to check the road ahead. Bandits have been known to gather in forests similar to this one, the last thing we need is a bandit camp onto our trial. And it's a very dangerous place at the moment - we do not know who we can trust. When we gather intelligence on which forest path to take, we shall gather up our things and march through the woods to the castle. " The Duke turned to the commander - "When should we have our first meeting?" The commander replied "As soon as you would like it to be, I'll make it tonight." He went out of the tent to speak to some officers, and left Goodman alone with the Duke for a few moments. -
This was another stupid mistake. Thanks, I've fixed this and committed the changes to the next version of the forum: https://gitlab.com/vank1ta/Panther/commit/8771b83eea81bd8f2a2847baa41fcb61fc6b6360 Well, thank you very much all of you! :)
-
Had a feeling it would be something stupid like that. Try again now. :)
-
Heh, I'd like to think so ;)
-
Also should be fixed. Thanks :)
-
Fixed -thanks.
-
Can you try now and let me know what the error is? I can't find anything else, and without knowing what's gone wrong I could be searching for ages.
-
@Nigel, I've taken a look at the PMs, and I think I've fixed this. Though no error is showing for me still, you'll have to test to verify for this. @Micha! - I've changed a line of code that I think was causing the problem. Let me know if you're still having difficulties, though.
-
Sorry for the inconvenience, both of you. I've enabled debugging, can you try again and let me know what you both get? I've tried with both pages and I'm getting no error on either.

This is something I know was possible in Stronghold 3, because I've used it. I've just checked in Crusader 2 and it appears you can also make it auto save. First off, you need to make sure Crusader 2 is closed. While this process does not do anything bad to your files, it is never a good idea to have the game open when you're doing stuff with files for it (and you will have to re-open it to see the changes anyway). Before we can actually begin, we must find where the files themselves are located. This does however, depend on where Steam is installed on your machine. The default directory is in Program Files on a 32-bit machine, or Program Files(x86) on a 64-bit machine. You can find out which type of system you have by going to start -> Right Click on "This PC" or "Computer" -> Properties. However, I will show you an easier way. Go to the start menu, type 'Steam' in the search box, right click on it then select 'Open File Location'. From there go to: SteamApps -> common -> Stronghold Crusader 2 -> assets Find the file config.xml and open it in a text editor, I use Notepad ++. Find this line: And replace the numbers with whatever you want. max_saves is pretty self-explanatory so I won't say anything about that. "interval" is how often the game will save. For example, setting this option to "60" will make the game save roughly every game day.

"Sit down, Christopher and we can finish our meal with you." The Duke nodded and the commander signalled for a guard to bring a similar throne shaped chair over to the table. The Duke started eating some of the food left, and the Commander started talking once more. "So, you were lying to me the entire time, eh?" replied Commander Richard to Goodman. "What would you have done, if you had not found out I was working with the Duke?" [OOC] I did reply to this topic, but it's somehow been lost after the server move. This is along the same lines of what I put, sorry for it being lost. -
Submitting images will now work.
-
What isn't working in the gallery? It's loading fine for me.
-
Both voting on polls and submitting downloads should now be ok.
-
Yes, I'm pretty certain it is. I can't remember the exact event, but it's something like Convert estate to village which will allow you to take control of an AI's estate.
-
Yes. :) And then I'll replace it with the official game campaign, and upload it here so people can download it. PM me for more information on what I've done so far if you want, I've written a whole introduction with tips and things on how to complete the mission best, briefings .etc (of those which I've completed)
-
Maybe you'd be interested in helping me replace the actual game campaign with a custom one, this mission being among them? It sounds like another great mission. I already have one mission but this sounds like it could be a great addition. I can't say when though, I've been working on my mission for three years! :D
-
Thank you. Try now. :) Let me know any other errors you get over the PM (I've enabled debugging so you'll get the full error)
-
I was absolutely devastated, it ruined my day too. He was one of my favourite actors, he always did more than just "play the part". He was at least part of the reason I like The Lord of the Rings (& the Hobbit for that matter) so much. He truly was one of the greats :( RIP Sir CHristopher Lee.

Adventure #01 - A Duke in Distress

Back to the feast, the commander was about to open his mouth once more, when one of the junior guard commanders came in. "Sir, The Duke is here to see you, one of the guards is escorting him here now." "Excellent! Send him straight in!" replied the commander, finishing off yet another chicken leg. "Apologies, Goodman, for that interruption. Village rumors, nothing more. The Duke had me kill the Bandit king a long time ago. I ..." Moments later the guard returned once more talking, this time, a familiar face joined him. "Welcome, Christopher!" the commander stood up at once from his throne, and started walking towards him. "It has been a while since we last met, I'm glad you made it." The two shook hands and the Duke spoke. "It was either that, or join the outlaws!" he joked. "Glad to see you again Richard, it has been a while. Sorry for my delay, someone attempted to assassinate me. Or rather, one of my other commanders was assassinated instead of me. I'm lucky to be alive ..." The Duke paused for a moment, looking deep in thought. "Well you're here now, why not join in the feast?!" asked the commander in response. "I think that's a splendid idea, let me fetch a chair." replied the Duke. "Not at all, take mine." The commander signalled for a guard to fetch a new chair, and put to the right of the old one. The two started moving towards the table. "Hello there Goodman! I didn't see you there. How did you get here?" [OOC] I want to try and keep it quite generic until some of the more important characters reveal themselves. Then they will get named .etc (as what has just happened) And I bet no one saw that coming! :D
