Trying to add Members to a Familiy Tree

[Vegna]

Well as The Title says, i'm trying to add some new members to the existing family tree of the Byzantine Empire

I have done everything as it should; i add the names in Descr_Names.txt, Desc_Names_Lookup.txt, Names.txt and i also add them in Descr_strat.txt.

For example when i try to add lets say a new Princess to the family, everything goes as it should, game starts up, the campaing loads, she appears ingame, but she does not appear in the familiy tree.

And that also means when i try to marry her to some one, the option to marry some one does not appear.. for she is not an relative to the Byzantine family tree.

So my question is can any one tell me what i'm doing wrong?

Did you add her to the 'relative' and 'character' lines?

[Fishbone]

Edit: Sorry, Gigantus was a little quicker, I didn't notice.

Did you add your new princess as a relative to one of the families?

FE the first part is your newly added princess:

character Xene, princess, female, age 18, x 363, y 164 
traits IAmPrincess 1 , NaturalPrincess 3 , GoodPrincess 3 , PrettyWoman 3

The name of this princess should also be added to the next part: (Edit: scroll to the right)

relative  Domenico Selvo,  Helena,  Bartolomeo Selvo, Cristiano Selvo, Alessandro Selvo, Xene, end
relative  Bartolomeo Selvo,  Magdalena,  Cristina Selvo, Benasuto Selvo, Gerardo Selvo, end
relative  Cristiano Selvo,  Pencina,  Antonio Selvo, end
relative  Alessandro Selvo,  Alegreza,  Barbus Selvo, end

Otherwise, could you post (parts of) your code?

Befor i start posting, i would like to thank you guys for replying so fast! ^^

Yes i did everything you guys said, ill copy and paste it below.
Here is my text ^^ :

character Svetlana, princess, female, age 20, x 210, y 92
traits IAmPrincess 1 , NaturalPrincess 2
ancillaries fine_cosmetics , faithful_servant

relative Alexius Comnenus, Irene, John Comnenus, Anna, Andronicus Comnenus, Isaac Comnenus, Svetlana, end

*EDIT*
Oke i got this to work, now i can add members to a family.

My next question is how can i make a family have more trees?
like for example in the byzantine family you have this:

What i want to try is to have TWO of these tree's in this screen

Does any one know how i could make this work?

Hi!

I don't think it's possible to have five children.

relative Alexius Comnenus, Irene, John Comnenus, Anna, Andronicus Comnenus, Isaac Comnenus, Svetlana, end

edit: I have done this to the byzantium familytree (SS6.0)

character_record Ioannis Komnenos, male, age 63, dead, 19, faction_leader
character_record Anna Dalassinos, female, age 79, dead, 3, never_a_leader
character_record Isaakios Komnenos, male, age 40, dead, 29, faction_leader
character_record Xenia ek_Ikoniou, female, age 69, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Ireni Dokeianos, female, age 35, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Eirene ek_Laodikias, female, age 15, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Isaakios_II Komnenos, male, age 9, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Manouil Komnenos, male, age 7, alive, never_a_leader

relative Ioannis Komnenos, Anna Dalassinos, Isaakios Komnenos, Aleksios Komnenos, end
relative Isaakios Komnenos, Xenia ek_Ikoniou, end
relative Aleksios Komnenos, Ireni Dokeianos, Anna Komnenos, Ioannis_II Komnenos, Isaakios_II Komnenos, Manouil Komnenos, end
relative Ioannis_II Komnenos, Eirene ek_Laodikias, end

Edit: again.... LOL

A few things:
The children should be named form old to young, that means Svetlana has to be named in the relative line before Andronicus and Isaac (and Anna if Anna still has the age of original Xene (18)):

relative Alexius Comnenus, Irene, John Comnenus, Svetlana, Anna, Andronicus Comnenus, Isaac Comnenus, end

I copied the 4 relative lines from venice, you can use that as example. You just should make sure the ages are right; fe parents need to be x amount of years older than children.

The amount of children is limited to 4, afaik. Above setting will remove Isaac from the family tree.

Ah yes i got it to work the way i wanted it to work ^^
I added every person in the wrong order
i didnt think it should be done from oldest to youngest.



Thanks alot for taking the time to help a new comer ! ^^

The number of children is controlled by the campaign db file eg

<max_number_of_children uint="4"/>

If you want to have two trees, say a king and his brother then you must add a dead father to the tree eg

character_record Robert, male, age 84, dead, 45, never_a_leader

as a the father of William the Conquerer, who who have William as a relative.

I have done the same for SS as really like having Odo of Bayeux in the game.

Hi Quark!

Did you manage to have two different surnames in the familytree? I'm trying to use both the de Normandie and de Conteville in the familytree, but it doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

:hmmm: typing gets worse at 3.00 in the morning. Sorry no, the only way I have been able to get it to work is 'cheat' and use the same name ie

character_record Robert Plantagenet, male, age 84, dead, 45, never_a_leader
character_record Herleve, female, age 82, dead, 30, never_a_leader

character_record Matilda, female, age 49, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Henry, male, age 12, alive, never_a_leader

relative Robert Plantagenet, Herleve, William Plantagenet, Odo Plantagenet, end
relative William Plantagenet, Matilda, Robert, Adela, Rufus, Henry, end

Its slightly annoying, but does get starting relatives in the game.
