Any chance for an autosell mod

[Impulsa]

Hey guys,

after searching the internet for an autosell mod for stronghold crusader HD I couldn't find anything.

Does anyone has anything at all by any miracle which can be used to autosell and buy items?

It would enhance the game experience when it comes to castle building.

I won't get my hopes up though.

Thanks in advance

You ask to release cheat tool for multiplayer game. Event if someone will release such mod to public only for singleplayer it will be just matter of time until someone will "fix" it to work in multiplayer mode.

It is possible to do it (I'm currently working on it), however you have to do some reverse engineering. There is a quick way to do it with Cheat Engine, by changing the resource values manually (via script), however it is not clean. I'm very new to this, but, if I make significant progress, I will inform you.

Wow that would be great! I had given up any hopes but if you could do it you would actually make my dream a reality :). Though i tried some stuff with the cheat engine, it defeats the purpose of wanting a fully automatic seller, and in the long run is actually more work than what its worth. So i hope you will succeed! Will be waiting for any progress

How is it cheating by auto buying or selling?

[JuGGerNaunT]

You gain advantage over other players who don't get auto sell/buy mod. While other player have to spend his time clicking buttons in market, you can 100% focus on army control.

Do really 2 sec you spend quikcly seelling something give you that much of an advanatage? Id say sure in a shooter like CS GO, but most of time you arent in those situations in Stronghold Crusader.

Looking this up in 2021 and I have to say Crusader + Stronghold 1 desperately need autotrade. There's maps in this game on which the only way to get stuff like food is by trade, while other goods such as wood & stone overflow the storage. (also I will not even discuss the moronic assertion that that would be a cheat if people are too stupid to think of other games that offer this ♥♥♥♥ including later Stronghold games....)

[JuGGerNaunT]

If you don't see a difference between integrated feature that work for all players by default and optional feature that one of the player may use to gain advantage, than it is really good decision to not discuss such things, since every argument will sound moronic for such idiots like you.

Intellectual Beethoven as if he's never heard of a game with mod support and also multiplayer

[GRhin]

Official mod support generally prevent the sort of unfair advantages you are discussing, either ensuring everyone has it, or nobody has it, especially for games with an active competitive multiplayer scene.
Please stop insulting people simply because you don't agree. It makes you look worse than the person you are insulting.

i dont know why are you discusing cheating, such a mod would be awesome. It is time the developer open the source of this so this game climb to a much more higher levels. The core mechanichs of this game are excellent. Just with a reskin it could travel to any time in history

Autotrade is something I very much miss from Stronghold Legends.

its not even cheating its hacking as its a third party tool modifying the game files but what does It matter? I don´t play multiplayer I would use it for the campaign (actually wouldnt use it at all) and seems like OP that was asking in this necro thread never asked for it to be used in MP if tis even possible doesnt this game have some kinda anti hack check when goin online to MP?

[GRhin]

No, this 20yr old game does not have a high tech anti hack and anti cheating system.
It was brought up as something that many modders keep in mind. If they think this way it's less likely to happen, as less devs will be interested in making it despite the inevitable backlash from the multiplayer community.
As for releasing source code, that's essentially asking firefly to throw away money, as the game still provides some profit for them, and releasing source code will end that income stream. I'm sorry, but this type of suggestion is everywhere in this community, and when you think about it it is actually a "screw the people who made it, they don't matter, only my personal opinion and happiness with the game matters" attitude, and it's starting to get a bit tiresome.
No firefly will not release source code, and the likely won't ever spend hundreds of thousands updating it for the couple $$ per sale that people are willing to pay for it. This game is great, amazing even, but we have to accept the reality that as far as firefly is concerned, what we have is most likely the most we will ever get from crusader. Modders are working on doing stuff themselves, but they too have limits.

If you weren't aware juggernaunt, the guy who brought up the cheating consideration, is a mod creator for crusader, one of about 6 who are modifying game functionality that I know of. ShcPlayer. So his response is actually a response of someone who could possibly make this feature, but won't for this reason. Not a response of why it shouldn't be made, one for why it hasn't been made.
The rest of the developers I know of are with the UCP, and their changes aren't quite so detailed to be able to make this feature yet, even if they wanted to. While the UCP does care less about multiplayer considerations, they have moved away from implementing cheat features in the past.
