    Default Name Length in Family Tree

    Hi everybody,
    i'm new to this community and i'm beggining to edit my own mod. My names (names.txt, descr_names.txt e.g.) are all correct and In-game they display right... but in the family tree some letters at the end are missing. There must be a maximum to letters displayed for the names in the family tree ... i think. So can i change the number of letters displayed?

    For example:
    John Comyn of Badenoch -> but in the Family Tree it just says "John Camyn of Badenoc"

    (sorry for my english... didn't have to use it for a while ^^")

    Would be great if someone could help me with this~ thanks.

    I think there will be a hard coded maximum length. Can't find anything except dat\menu\mtw2.lnt maybe.

    Thx for the fast reply~

    I edited the Name to "John of Badenoch"... less letters than before but again the "H" at the end is missing... in the name files everything is correct. Can`t understand why that happens.

    descr_strat:
    Code:
    character John of Badenoch, named character, male, age 24, x 91, y 124
    Code:
    relative John of Badenoch, Alianora Balliol, end
    names.txt
    Code:
    {of_Badenoch}of Badenoch

    I doubt thats the problem. Sometimes settlements do that too, just put a space at the end of the file, or the end of the name. If its the last name in the names file then put an extra line in the file, a blank one.
