I've heard that such a program should exist. I've not been able to find it, however ... can anyone help me?

Using it hanged and later crashed my system though. However, I can only assume that it was a feature.

I've never had a problem with it. Perhaps double check your syntax though - its very particular.
I'm kinda confused with it... I start it and it 'flashes' some DOS window, and nothing happens. Am I supposed to start it and then check to see something in-game?
You're supposed to open up a DOS box and type in its command line. Like this:
After, of course, making sure that you're in the directory with autosave.eug in it.
It's not really a Windows program, Peter wrote it for a Unix environment then just ported it to Windows. All this is explained in the readme that comes with it. *sigh* Kids, these days, they think all you have to do is point and click.

You are supposed to use the windows DOS function (whatever its name is in English)

Even then, the program just ports the info into another .txt file (PE's readme.txt used mylog.txt as an example). You then have to open that second file to get the info you need.
A graphical program, and one that references county names, rather than just numbers, sure would be groovy though...

Unzip bride.exe to the save game directory. Create a text document where you write:
cd\
cd your_ck_directory
cd scenarios
cd "save games"
bride YourSavegame.eug female 15 20 kh > babe.txt
-----
Rename the text file extension from .txt to .bat
Clicking this bat file will then automatically generate a search with your specified parameters for you and store it in babe.txt Saves you some time by not having to enter the command prompt all the time.

cd your_ck_directory

better yet, make a whole load of batch files to find a wench for every monarchs taste...

Not a bad idea, but the only problem is thatyou have to make sure to name your save game the exact same thing each time.

Not really needed, though. You can use the CK's in-engine \ search function and type in the county ID, and it will take you straight to the province. Before I figured this out, it was a pain to actually find out where that 7/9/9/8 daughter of a Portugese count was...

Damn - I didn't know that.
Is there any easy way to find out where some of these Duchies are located? Sometimes its hard to figure out where some obscure four-letter acronym is...
I copied bride.exe to the saved games directory.
I then made a batch file (paste this in Notepad, and save it as "bfinder.bat")
bride mysave.eug female 14 25 kh > mylog.txt
I then made a shortcut to that batch file on the desktop, and a shortcut to the log file on the desktop.
When you want to hunt for a bride, just save your game as "mysave", switch to your Windows desktop, double click the batch file, and Voila!, you now have the log file to pursue.

Thanks ... however my ignorance continues. When I double click on bride.exe nothing happens (it might run the exe file, but I can't see any results from it anywhere). This leads me to believe that there is some information that I haven't been able to extract from the readme ... where am I supposed to write that: bride <file> <gender> <minage> <maxage> <sorttype>?
EDIT: aahh!!! you must open the command promt first! I thinl I've got it now

I quite agree. Rest assured that when somebody takes the time to make one I will be amongst the first to download it.BarristerBoy said:
v.0.3.0 (for download) features numerous bugs and I will not promise to ever fix them unless they happen to annoy me too much one day. There's the pregnant unmarried woman issue, the does not keep accurate track of all marriages once there are (2000 or 4000, forget which, silly #define that survived much too long :rofl: ), and a host of others.
Use at your own risk. Fourteen dogs electrocuted until now. [allegedly]
Really ought to update instructions to tell people that they can find provinces by using search and typing the province number, though.
One other bug is that I don't believe it counts being married to a bastard as really being married.
