You're very welcome, I hope you enjoy being a member of our community :) I do think I may be on to changing the colours as well - possibly files in the /stronghold 2/shaders/ folder, or in some of the .xml files.

I've just tried with the Grand Keep, you can get them up on the roof. It must be something to do with the Wooden one. I'll have a browse around, I probably missed something really obvious.

I'll have a look and see what's wrong. P.S. What version are you on of SH2?

I've just changed the keep. Go to your /stronghold 2/meshes/buildings/ folder, and find the following files: keep_medium.bdg, keep_wooden.bdg Simply switch the file names. EDIT: Don't literally switch the filenames, the AI who have the other castle react badly. Just copy and paste the keep_wooden.bdg, rename keep_medium.bdg to keep_medium_BACKUP.bdg (or something) and then rename keep_wooden.bdg. Hope this helps :)

Welcome to the forums! :) As far as I can see, it is just finding the appropriate files in order to do such a modification. (You probably already know this, but you can have a custom keep if you create the map in the Map Editor) All the keep buildings are located in the /stronghold 2/meshes/buildings/ directory, and the default keep (yours) appear to be the "keep_medium" files. I suppose you could try renaming those with (say the wooden ones - "keep_small" or "keep_wooden" files. Most of them appear to have similar filenames. I'll have a look now, and see if I can spot any config for them. Changing your colour will be much harder. Like in Stronghold Crusader, it will probably be in Hex Code, but where to me is unknown. However, that is not to say it cannot be done - just recently I found the recruitment images, I didn't know where they were either.

Welcome to SHN, Sir DavidSpy! :) It is a pleasure to have you on our site. I hope you enjoy being a member here. I am known around the stronghold communities under several names as well. If you are visiting from fireflyworlds or Stronghold 2 Heaven, you may know me as "Duke Chris" or "Duke_Chris". The best part of the games (in my opinion) is modifying them - especially stronghold 2. If anyone needs any SH2 modification help, you know who to come to ;)

I've found them.They are in the /Stronghold 2/ui/ folder, with the names of: ingameui2.tga ingameui2b.tga NOTE: To open them, you don't need to have a TGA viewer installed.Instead, just download Paint.net, and you can open/edit them with that.

Does anyone know where the Recruitment Pictures are in the game for the units at the Barracks, Mercenary post.etc?
