editting trait triggers?

**guck** · November 17, 2007, 10:15 PM

can anyone please tell me which file contains the triggers for traits? i noticed that my characters are all crappy with taxes and i would like to alter the triggers if possible. the export_descr_character_traits files doesn't seem to show the triggers. specifically, i want to change the triggers for the "dubious", "extravagant", "royally extravagant" traits, etc.

same file as the traits:export_descr_character_traits.txt

They're down the bottom end of the file.

which triggers would affect the traits i'm looking for?

got it, thanks.

the chances for the corrupt traits and expensive tastes traits are only 3. does that mean 3%? if so, why do the majority of my characters suffer from these traits?

Not sure...could be 30%?

it means 3%. but that's actually kind of high for a bad trait relatively, if the only condition is that your character is just sitting idly in a city.

Keep in mind that each trait usually has multiple triggers. The "extravagant" line of traits will appear much more often if your treasury is over 10,000 gold, and even more so if you're over 15,000.

what does "threshold" for character traits mean? what is it's effect on the trait? BTW, is there a modding guide that i can download to learn this crap.
