Yes I have extreme. What are the details?

Anyone? Also I am not great at Crusader but I can defend myself well. So whatever you guys want to do, I'm good with that :)

I would love to play but my Crusader is having some problems right now Eagle. Sorry :( EDIT: Actually it works. I have version 1.2.1 is that okay? What are the room details? :)

Today I played my first Rugby match after the second season ended. First match in 10 weeks. We won 27-19! :D

Wow Eagle they look great! What about red? (I'll download them all tomorrow and let you know what I think! Gonna go relax for a bit!) :)

More of a bow and arrow man myself ;) No problem! Good job! :)

That's great news Eagle! Congratulations! Worried now to have my first exam in January :O EDIT: Hell yeah! I learned how to quote :cool:

Okay will do later Vetka. Thank you :)

That's where it first was :)

I agree with Eagle. Also where has the "Share Your Project" forum gone?

That's not a problem Chris don't worry :) Anyone else? :D

Thank you! Are you interested in playtesting the map now Chris? (Changing game speed might make replaying the same missions a bit better, since you've played some before) :)

Ahh right thank you, is it possible to move it there for me? Thank you! :)

Another map I've made. The map isn't quite out for download yet, as I'm still not 100% sure everything is how it should be. I've been playing the map for about 4 hours re-playing making sure everything is okay. So if anyone wants to play test the map let me know. I'm only allowing 3 playtesters, so if you really do want to and you can give me some feedback, then comment your e-mail below. Thank you! :)

Game incompatibility- It seems running the games in comparability mode is your only choice there. As far as I know anyway. Performance issues- Fear not, so do I. SH2 runs at medium with anisotropic filtering and antialiasing off. On an older laptop the game could run at highest no problem. My system specs are well above the games requirements, NVidia graphics cards seem to run the game fine. So my only assumption there is poor optimisation for AMD graphics. Just to prove this, my system- Intel Core i7 QM CPU 2.1GHz (Clock Speed) 3.1GHz (Turbo Boost) Intel Graphics 4000 HD AMD Radeon 7730M (2GB) 1TB Internal SSD 1TB External HDD 8GB DDR3 RAM

That's true I suppose :)

Damn it ;) oh well no worries. I have another SH2 map to upload soon :)

This quick tutorial is how to keep your FPS high while maintaining decent eye candy. It's important to note that these will work for other games, not just games in the Stronghold series. Screen Resolution- This is the easiest way to increase FPS. Screen resolution is the amount of pixels on screen, the more pixels the better quality. For best graphics set it to- 1920x1280. For a mix of good performance/graphics (FPS) set it to- 1280x720 Anisotropic Filtering- This is used to make corners of graphics look smoother and more realistic. You won't notice this unless close up with an object. Set it to low or off for best performance. Antialiasing- This is similar to Anisotropic Filtering. The graphics notice isn't a big difference, so again for best performance set it to low or off. VSync- This will balance your PC's setting to not allow the CPU to work to what it can. This of course will not allow the FPS to be as high as they could. Disable VSync for best performance. Graphics will not be affected. Bloom Effect- Not really noticeable in most games, just makes some games seem a bit more alive. Disable for best performance. Postprocess Quality- Set this to disabled. This simply renders 3D graphics. Not highly noticeable or important. Ambient Occlusion- Similar to postprocess. This decides the shading level of most 3D graphics. Is quite noticeable but for best performance, disable it. Shadow Quality- Set this to disabled or low. Of course this is highly noticeable so if you want to maintain eye candy, set it to low. Clouds (if any)- Clouds don't make a huge difference in FPS, but turning them off slightly increases FPS. Terrain Quality- Simply explained. Higher the quality, lower the FPS. Object Quality- Simply explained. Higher the quality, lower the FPS. There are so many other in game settings that are available, that to cover them all would take hours. If anyone can think of more, then add it in the comments. Thank you for reading!

So I'm aware you will receive a medal for 10 uploaded files. Do photos count? I uploaded a map and 5 pictures, is that 6 or 1? Thank you! EDIT: Okay I must be very confused. Could a moderator please move it to this forum- http://forums.stronghold-nation.com/forum/32-site-questions-and-support/

It's nice to meet you Nigel. Thank you for registering :) I'm sure you'll enjoy your time in the forums, any questions just let me or any moderators know. If it's a site related question be sure to make a topic here- http://forums.stronghold-nation.com/forum/32-site-questions-and-support/ If you want to be able to play some SH2 or Crusader matches, be sure to download GameRanger and make an account. If you'd like to play, here is the place to look- http://forums.stronghold-nation.com/forum/30-gaming-events/ As I have said, any questions let me know. Don't be worried to ask :)

Yes it is :)

At the moment so am I but some stuff is happening right now and I don't know if I'll make it. So I'll keep you updated.

That's what I thought dw :)

Just a quick question. I have attended 2 multiplayer events. Will the medal say "Attended 2 Multiplayer Events" or is it not for every match. For example, will it change when I attend 5 multiplayer events? Thank you!

Will be hosting my final game for a while now, tonight.
