Character Editor

[Creelers]

I'm currently making a character editor, and it should hopefully be finished sometime tomorrow, but before I finish it (just need to actually let people save character details) would there be an interest for such a tool?

Download link v0.1 - click here.

You will need .net framework 4 to use the program. Download here.

What does it allow you to modify? Just traits, names, and dynasties, or appearance as well?

 

[Creelers]

Just traits and names etc. Is there a way to modify appearance?

 

[Ampersand]

The lines DNA and Properties contain the appearance information in a string of numbers. You'd have to decode what the numbers and all mean though, first.

 

[Creelers]

None of the character files have any of those lines, am I looking in the wrong files?

	}
	1066.1.5 = {

	}
	1066.9.14 = {
		wealth = 1000
		raise_levies = {
			#location = 25 # Sussex
			location = 97 # Rouen
			force_mult = 6.7
		}
	}
	1066.10.14 = {
		raise_levies = {
			dismiss = yes
			location = 97 # Rouen
			force_mult = 6.7
		}
	}
	1066.12.26  = {
		give_nickname = nick_the_conqueror
	}
	1087.9.9 = {
		death="1087.9.9"
	}
}

 

[Creelers]

Is that from a save file?

 

[flame7926]

no, that his character file.

 

[Calantyr]

That's from history/characters/norman.txt. Only some characters have dna profiles in the history files (the rest are generated randomly), however EVERY character has a dna profile in a saved game.

 

[Creelers]

Ah, I hadn't seen any of those lines yet.

 

[Creelers]

Is there a full list of the date events like this:

1039.1.1={
birth="1039.1.1"
}

So far I've got birth, death, add_spouse, add_claim, remove_claim. Is that all of them?

 

[sam1133]

i would be very interested

 

[Creelers]

Hopefully I'll have it ready by tomorrow night.

 

[AlecTrevylan006]

Add me to the list of very interested people.

 

[Razorius]

Very interested, especially if I can export code for a character to include in a text file. Extra especially if it would let me randomly generate a character based on culture. But those might be beyond your scope for this editor.

 

[beatboxpanda]

i would also be interested in using an editor like this

 

[Christian V]

It would be a nice tool to have

 

[Lakewolf52]

I would be very interested in using a tool like this!

 

[El-Fatih]

Me too. I hope you can change surnames of the random dynasties during the game...

 

[Arrianus]

sounds very promising
