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.

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

[OOC] You're supposed to be :D You'll find out, all in good time ;) No.

The Commander continued eating for a few moments, and then turned to look at Goodman with a confused look on his face. "You don't know who the Duke is?" Goodman looked ashamed of not knowing the answer, so the Commander spoke again. "The Duke is the owner of these lands, or rather was. He gave me these lands in return for saving his father's life ~20 years ago. And in return, I vowed to protect him and keep this area clean of bandits, and in order with the law. It was also a gift due to his ever growing kingdom, we have always been close friends." The commander stopped briefly, before picking up another piece of chicken and taking a bite. "You see, a long while ago, the kingdoms was under attack from the north east, by violent tribes across the river. They ransacked several cities and towns, one of the biggest being Druicconia. They brutally murdered captured soldiers and sacrificed the hearts of any officers they came across while fighting in Blynohm forest. It was then the Emperor (the Duke's father) decided to take action. He mustered as many troops as he could and sent them to the eastern flank, this was the first time an Emperor rode to the front line for 300 hundred years. As I was the commanding officer stationed in the nearby Mines of Xilious, I was summoned by the Emperor to defend our villages. After several weeks of searching, we finally managed to confront the tribes in an open field, just outside of Blynohm forest. We were winning the battle, until the Emperor fell from his horse. Several of the enemy tribesmen rushed in towards him, but I managed to get there in time, giving him my horse. The one advantage I had was the fact they were on foot. The Emperor managed to escape from the situation, but just when I thought there were too many, it started to rain. These tribes were very superstitious, and thought that it would dishonour their gods to fight in the rain, so they fled the battlefield leaving us to kill any in sight." The commander took another bite of chicken, and then a sip of his wine. "So that, is how I knew the Duke. The Duke was on his way here when I last heard word from him, which was some time ago."

Particularly the graphics of these images are really good. They are very well taken.

Supposing there was some kind of dash, or punctuation between Medieval and Stronghold (just like this forum name actually) then Stronghold - Medieval England sounds better.

Several minutes later, the guard returned. "You may enter and speak to the commander". Goodman entered, and saw before him yet another group of commanders which were exiting the tent. The commander was busy feasting at a table and looked up when Goodman entered. "Ah!" The commander exclaimed in surprise. "Come and join the feast, you deserver it after training those troops!". He signalled for a guard to bring over a chair, who returned with a wooden chair similar to the commander's throne, only a lot smaller and less decorated.

Yes. Systems currently running Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 can upgrade to Windows 10 for free, the full version is included. After one year, you will have to pay. Note that if you reserve a copy, you can download it at any time convenient to you. I've reserved mine but I'm not going to install it until a few weeks after the release, to avoid things happening to my PC like what happened when Windows 8 first came out. If you haven't already, you will receive the update KB3035583, or try looking for C:\Windows\System32\GWX\GWX.exe and start that process. This should appear in the task bar: Right click on it, then select "Get Windows 10". See this link for more on the upgrade process: http://www.maximumpc.com/windows-7-and-8-users-report-seeing-windows-10-upgrade-prompts/

Well, for those of you who haven't already seen, Microsoft is offering a one year free upgrade to a full version of Windows ten, which is due to be released on the 29 July. Take a feature tour of Windows 10: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/features.

Yeah - thanks. I still haven't been able to completely change everything after upgrading the forum yet. It's a side effect of that. At the moment, you can only download and view downloads until I fix that part of the site. I'm working on the ACP at the moment so stay tuned as I'm going to finish off that part next. Thought it would make more sense to be able to view a bit of the site there, even if it's not much.

"Evening, Mr. Goodman" said one of two officers To Goodman, while walking past the tent. Suddenly a guard came out. "Can I help you, sir?" he asked Goodman.

The commander nodded to Constable Briggs, who stepped to the right of Goodman. "This way, Mr. Goodman" he said, raising his arm in the direction of the exit. The two men walked out, and Goodman was taken to several other tents, all which gave him more goods, armour and weaponry. A while later Goodman emerged in Officers uniform, and armour, complete with a magnificent sword - still with Constable Briggs. They went back the same way they came in, on the way, a shape could be made out through the forest trees nearby on horseback, along with two other figures nearby. They rode into the camp, into where they had just come from. But before he could get a proper glance to see who it was, both parties moved out of sight, the Constable and Goodman around some trees, and were in front of the Prison where the remainder of the adventurers were still locked up. "We'll put you in here do you can talk in private, but knock on the door when you would like to come out and one of the guards will let you" stated the Constable. He opened the door for Goodman and shut it after he went inside. Then went and told the guards on duty what to do when Goodman knocked.
