Character_tooltip_delayed in text1.csv

[Axons Amok]

I was trying to make some improvements to the info the game shows when I hover over a character. I screwed something up, so I reverted to the copy of the file I'd saved as "text1-original.csv." But now when I try to make my changes again, nothing happens. Every delayed tooltip block comes out showing only what the vanilla game showed.

I think I've somehow inserted a comment or an extra semicolon or something like that into my backup file. Would one of you be so kind as to post a copy of the unaltered text1.csv?

If that's not allowed for some reason, could one of you post lines 273, 274, and 275 from your file?

the 3 lines.
note the third one is inactive, I don't know where its newer version is situated.

Thanks for that. I'm still stumped about this, though.

I copy/pasted your lines into text1.csv to replace what I had there, saved the file, loaded the game to confirm that it runs and shows tooltips correctly, then quit to desktop.

Then I re-opened text1.csv and added "\n ID: [GetID] " to the end of the first [GetStatusInfo] on line 274. Save, re-launch the game, aaaaaaand -- no change to the tooltip.

Here's my line 274 as it currently stands:

CHARACTER_TOOLTIP_DELAYED;[GetStatusInfo]\n ID: [GetID] ;[GetStatusInfo];[GetStatusInfo];;[GetStatusInfo];;;;;;;;;x

What am I missing here? Does the [GetStatusInfo] block override any other entries on that line? Do I need to save the changed .csv into a different folder? Did I screw up the syntax for the file?

Take a look at the CHARACTER_TOOLTIP_DELAYED line in the Lux Invicta mod which displays various non-standard lines (including GetID but not GetStatusInfo)

At this point I'd recommend deleting the file and then telling Steam to validate your game cache so you'll get a fresh copy. You may find it helpful to experiment with altered tooltips using a copied version of the localization file in a mod folder .

There's mine. Spent a whole day on it, feel free to take it and copy it. I've found it works best if you take text1.csv and find the string and actually replace what's there with this version. Here's a screenshot:

It's not perfect, but you can easily fix anything you don't like.

I found this tooltip by Collider and it works very well.

BTW to get the Heir line to work change the h in heir to H - Heir:§! [Heir.GetBestName] §B[Heir.GetID]§!\n

BTW what do you add to show who the Lover is?

 

[Axons Amok]

Thanks for the tip on having Steam verify the local files; I hadn't thought of that.

After getting Steam to assure me everything was peachy, I added the extra tooltip info through a dummy mod and it works fine. If I disable the mod and edit the standard text1.csv to show either the Lux Invicta string, my string, or the Collider string clanger posted, I get nothing but the standard tooltip.

Which is a bit of a downer, since I won't have access to the improved tooltip without ditching my saved game. Right? Any way to get around that issue?

Anyone have any ideas of how to include who the lover is in the CHARACTER_TOOLTIP_DELAYED. Thanks

(Yeah, I know I am bumping this thread and that I have already asked the same question 2 posts up about a modded tooltip)

I have tried
§G Lover:§! [Lover.GetBestName] §B[Lover.GetID]§!\n
§G Lover:§! [lover.GetBestName] §B[lover.GetID]§!\n
and various combinations of Root and From

Can I just check, your backup file isn't a csv file in the localisations folder? If so it could still be read by the game.

o How often the simple solutions elude us. I renamed my file to .bak and now my changes and edits work as expected.

Clanger, sorry I can't help. Such things are clearly over my head.

Glad you managed to fix this problem, Axons Amok. I still can't solve mine - it is probably over my head as well.
