In the near future, I will group them together with (hopefully) a final version for vanilla, 4.0.

[finneys13]

Teutonic campaign now up, only the Crusades to go.

[beauclerc]

Downloaded the Britannia name mod and it works really well.

Keep up the good work Finneys.

[finneys13]

Crusades are now up, so (hopefully), Kingdoms is finished.

cool, i'll try the teutonic. they're my fav. faction. will report back tomorrow latest.

one thing, does it work with existing savegames?

[finneys13]

It won't crash the game, but it may give existing characters blank names, the next generation though will have good names. But I wouldn't recommend it.

But the expanded.txt and expanded.txt.strings will work fine with a save game, and will give you proper titles.

I've tried America's, Britannia and Teutonic so far. I haven't noticed any problems with blank names.

However, I think I saw that the character Hernan Cortes had a different name in my Spanish campaign. But I am not sure about this, I need to check.

One thing I have noticed is that some names are too long and get truncated in the screens. This happens especially with the Scottish names. It's not really a problem, just a game limitation.

[finneys13]

Cortes is there I'm sure, starts near Vera Cruz.

Can't help the problem with Gaelic and Arabic names I'm afraid, as you said, game limitations.

[tehhaxxor23]

teutonic works fine for me thanks

[Johan217]

Found a problem with the Britannia files:

None of the names for the Barons' Alliance show up in my game. Can anyone confirm it's not just me?

[finneys13]

No? Odd, will look at it after the weekend, going to Prague in the morning.

[HIC SVNT LEONES]

Oddly. Once I did the Britannia one my UI disappeared on the campaign map. And there are blocks.

[finneys13]

That's a game problem, as discussed in the Kingdoms forum, nothing to do with CNP I think.

I told people I would be working on fixing up CNP for a final release, but I have been very busy over the last week, hopefully next week I can do it.

The original names.txt uses underscores (_) between the {} however some of the entries in your Britannia campaign download use hyphens (-), does this cause any problems?

The original descr_names.txt does not use underscores (_) anywhere however your Britannia campaign download descr_names.txt has underscores for all the spaces between the names. Does this will mean we will have _ in the name in game or does it read the actual name from the second half of the names.txt (which doesn't have the _ or -)?

[finneys13]

If in the names.txt file, you see:

{O_Neill}Ó Neill

In the game, you will see Ó Neill. Using underscores creates much less problems.

[CelticPagan]

Excellent work, as usual!!! +REP

[Johan217]

finneys13,

I have started a new Britannia campaign, this time without other mods installed and again I am getting a problem with blank names for the Barons' Alliance. The other factions appear to work OK.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

[finneys13]

Actually I did, and I don't really know why it happens. Will fix it whenever I release the final CNP, it is not a game breaker I hope.

[Johan217]

Maybe you need to define a separate set for the Barons' Alliance in descr_names.txt?

It doesn't seem to be there in the default Britannia files, but well, you never know

[jaaron08]

Good job guys. No problems with the download at all.
