Thanks. But unfortunately those mods gonna be less compatible in the future.

Download the mod, open archive and run installer. It will automatically detect game location, version and install all files.

Mostly they are compatible. There are some function that won't work.

Try to contact moddb support regarding this question.

Huge singleplayer update was supposed to be released year ago, but situation in the world changed all plans. Development is still in progress, but it is going significantly slower.

As I already said, I can't separate plugin from the mod. Same way house can't be separated from its foundation. Replay plugin is just an extension for base mod. It is impossible to release replay as a separate mod without making changes in game code. Game has some bugs that lead to desynchronization between record and playback. To fix them I need to change game code which means both players should have those changes anyway.
Even if it would be possible, there is no point in releasing one single plugin. It would be just a waste of time. You can find random opponent who is still using vanilla version. And he will keep using it. Initial idea of the mod was to provide a fair way to play multiplayer, without game breaking bugs and with some QoL features. I don't see any sense in supporting something, that doesn't lead to involving new people.
As for expert players, oh... I made a research. Unfortunately too late but still. Its results showed that expert mp community isn't open for anything new. They are happy with their 1.1 version and doesn't need anything else. Even if replay mod existed, it would require 1.41 version. Which make it impossible to use it in game with experts anyway.
I don't know why your friends can't play with other players if they install this mod. They can just install 2 copies the game: one vanilla and one with mod. Switching between version in GR takes 10 seconds. I'll tell you more. Previous versions of the mod were distributed as separate application that you needed to launch simultaneously with the game. So you didn't even need 2 game copies. But the fact that players had to launch some third party soft was the reason why they complained and why I changed it. As you can see, it had no any effect :| All those barriers are imaginary and the real reason why mp community denies to play with mods is its conservatism. And that is the main reason why I stopped to work on mp features and decided that all further updates for this mod gonna be singleplayer.

I don't have a slightest idea how removing 95% of mod features may improve its usability. The mod is about everything else in the same way as about replays. All its features complement each other.

There is no point in doing that.

No. Replay is just a plugin, it can't work independently.

It will be fixed in the next update.

Yes you can. But all players must have SHCPlayer mod installed.

Hi. There is an installer inside mod archive. Just run SHCPlayerInstaller, select path to game folder (installer should set the path automatically) and press install. Installer will detect if your game version is supported and show error message if it's not.
You can verify that mod is installed in game main menu. In bottom-left corner instead V1.41 it should show game version v1.4.2b7

At this moment it is just a castle viewer. Save button is supposed to be disabled. Maybe I forgot to do that.
I was going to finish this plugin long time ago and completely replace Firefly's editor with it. But all this time I was focused on other things which has greater priority. Unfortunately it is still the case.

I guess you are talking about this bug Github.com ? If so, it will be fixed in the next release.

What kind of interference you mean? When it happens, what AI, what map, what castle?

Shortcut module is based on top of the hub. It can't work separately. But I will consider you desire to play with both shcplayer and ucp. I will do something in the next release.

Latest version supports Extreme as well as conversion of saves

Latest version supports Extreme

There are different builds of version 1.3 (Steam, GOG, patches). Only Steam build is supported. Latest Steam 1.41 and GOG 1.41 are the same so mod support both of them.

There is no such mod

Extreme is in my TODO list, hope I can support it soon. UCP may has some conflicts with SHCPlayer and it is unavoidable since those are two different projects, but as far as I know most UCP features should work fine.

Extreme is in my TODO list but it is quite challenging. Everything takes much time so it is a matter of priorities.

Mod doesn't support saves made with other game versions. I will add automatic save converter at release, but until mod in beta unfortunately it will be that way.

It is possible and I thought about plugin that can slightly change game rules. It would be possible to add such modification in that plugin but unfortunately I reconsidered priorities and now I'm focused on other things. King of the Hill is more like an exception, I decided to add this mode since it was present in original Stronghold 1.

KotH is part of the patch. I can't release it separately even for 1.41, it heavily depends on other parts of the patch. But if it's only about the ads, you can delete gfx/logo2_shc2.tgx file in v1.41 and replace logo1.tgx and logo3.tgx to corresponding files from 1.40.

I investigated this issue. It turns out that Firefly uses different executable files for languages with non latin characters. These are Russian, Ukrainian, Japanese and Chinese. I will check whether I can adapt my mod for those languages, if not then the only option is to use English version.

Probably, your game version isn't 1.3. Maybe steam automatically update your game to newer version. There is an option to set up custom path to SHC game path. 'GamePath' in Config.ini . You may try to downgrade game to 1.3, create its duplicate, set path to this duplicate and try to launch SHCPlayer with that.

try other web browser. it may be somehow related to your security settings/antivirus

Launcher expects default "Stronghold Crusader" process name (process has same name as exe file). I will fix it in the next update.

No, patch doesn't fix this issue, but I thought about it. The thing is such blocking is intentional player action and if player don't want to ruin AI economy, he can just avoid this trick. Player don't need a patch to play fair game.
