Changing Family tree

[Xnao]

this is my first time modding for this game.

i would like to change Alexius Comnenus to his real age, and change John to a brother name Isaac, can anyone give me help on this.

ive tried editing the files but then i cant load a campaign.

The changes you want to make must be done in the descr_strat file in the world folder of your mod (plz use a mod so u don't ruin your originals or at least keep back ups).

For Alexius, changing his age is as simple as changing the number here:

character Alexius Comnenus, named character, male, leader, age 45, x 213, y 92

For John, assuming you would replace him entirely, just change his name like so:

character John Comnenus, named character, male, heir, age 23, x 210, y 84

to:

character Isaac Comnenus , named character, male, heir, age 23, x 210, y 84

You should also watch the age of Alexius because I believe there is an age logic, such as he could not have had a son at age 5 kinda thing. If you still have problems, post the system log in the log folder. If you don't have that, add this line to your cfg file:

[log]
to = logs/(put what ever your mod is named here).log.txt
level = * error

thank you

one more question, how could i make isaac alexius's brother?

Hm...this could be tough. I have never tried something like that before, I think this is what you could do. If you were to add a deceased mother and father to the tree before Alexius, then you could add his brother. The only thing is I don't know if you can add in deceased family members at the start of the game, otherwise make them really old so they die off really fast haha.

Does anyone have suggestions for this?

yes you can add a dead caracther at begining of the game. here is my swedish family three for example:

character_record Erik, male, dead, leader
character_record Catherine, female, age 65, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Sophia, female, age 45, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Hedwig, female, age 18, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Birger, male, age 1, alive, never_a_leader

relative Erik, Catherine, Valdemar, Magnus, end
relative Valdemar, Sophia, end
relative Magnus, Hedwig, Birger, end
