The stronghold 2 map unlocker, along with the toolkit, will allow you to edit pre-made game campaign maps.
You must have java runtime environment (JRE) installed for this to work - download it below if you don't have it installed. Once you open the file, it should automatically go to the
mydocuments\stronghold2\maps
folder (unless you changed the installation path, in which case you will have to navigate yourself there)
All maps you wish to unlock must be copied to the:
mydocuments\stronghold2\maps
folder.
Any problems, please comment below. Good luck :)
You will also need to download the Custom Messaging & briefings toolkit, here
Hi,
I'm just curious if it was ever re-written after the issue with Java versions? Not asking for one, just wondering as I was asked to unlock some maps for a friend and wrote a node tool, but can migrate to an executable if this one needs replacing.
