Week #7 - Stronghold 3

[Lord_Chris 283]

The challenges are starting to progress now, exposing you to parts of the game that hopefully you would never otherwise encounter. Your challenge for this week is: Create a custom load screen for Stronghold 3 symbolising a night raid on a wooden village. Once completed, upload it to our Gallery.

 

The image can be in any format (other than bitmap), the colour schemes can be up to you - the load screen can be a mixture of a in-game screenshots, custom artwork, already existing load screens or anything you so desire!

Im starting?

now!

I have Already a few ideas :)

[Lord_Chris 283]

Great to hear! :)

[EaglePrince 260]

Nice idea! :) Tomorrow I need to pass the exam I was talking about, and after that I am going to try to make something interesting. :) I like playing with Stronghold 3 screenshots. :D

[Tokamaps 27]

Okay, Do anyone Know how to get a beter camera view??

[EaglePrince 260]

If I remember correctly there is some keyboard command to get free camera view, that is to turn it on and off. I haven't find anything about that in the manual from Steam, but maybe you can see it from the game. Sorry, I don't have Stronghold 3 on this computer, it's too old for that game. I could see it later on the other computer if you don't figure it out, but I believe you'll get it. :) Try to find keyboard commands from within the game. :)

 

EDIT: Ah, it's great thing when you post something online to help others, but in the that very same thing helps me as well... :D According that kind sir ALT+F is the command I was speaking about. :)

It appears that you were busy and you forgot. Also, there is another thing I mentioned there:

CTRL+mouse wheel scroll - that rotates building for 45 degrees. :)

Hehe, yes, I could. :D

[Lord_Chris 283]

There are still no entries yet and the contest closes tonight! Remember that you have to paste the link of your image into this thread as well as upload it!

[EaglePrince 260]

Thanks for reminding us, I almost forgot. :) I will try to make an entry today, just don't close it until tomorrow morning, or late this evening, or before I make my entry. :D I really like this challenge, it reminds me of the one we had earlier with siege in Crusader, only this one can look greater!

 

By the way, I plan to do this on a free build map by setting invasions. :)

 

EDIT: Oh, and I can do even better, there is an map from Vetka which I really like. In fact, I have at least to of them. :) And off topic, it would be great if he came here to Stronghold Nation at least to see what's up and say hi. :(

@LordChris

The Stronghold 3 Mod Tool dont seem to work?? :(

[Lord_Chris 283]

What isn't working? Did you follow all the steps in this tutorial: http://www.stronghold-nation.com/article/195-unarchiving-stronghold-3-files

[Tokamaps 27]

And my antivirus is deleting it instantly :(.

But the tool is not totally nescerry.

[EaglePrince 260]

I believe we don't need any too at all for this quest. We just need to set everything right, and then to make a screenshot. :) If I got it right, of course. :)

[Lord_Chris 283]

I'm not sure why, what antivirus do you have? But yes, you're both right - it's not needed for this challenge.

[Tokamaps 27]

Too late umm.

[Lord_Chris 283]

Unfortunately, yes, it is too late. :(

[Tokamaps 27]

Umm ok, the screen was a shame ;)

[EaglePrince 260]

And I wasn't feeling well yesterday evening, so I haven't made anything. :( Today I feel somewhat better though.

[Tokamaps 27]

I hope ?you get well again :)
