CTD after adding traits

[Alecci]

Since I've had no luck adding historical names, I thought that I'd attempt accomplishing that by going down the much trickier road of using traits with epithets instead.

After adding two trait that was suppoused to generate the epithet "Julius Caesar" for all male members of the Julii family, I get strange CTD's without any error reports (at least now I know the -show_err works, solved another problem with that).

I've checked the traits with the Trait/Ancillary Validator and it checks out fine without neither errors nor warnings. The game loads fine, but when I start a new campaign, I get a CTD when about 1/4 of the campaign loading bar gets filled.

Here is the relevant code:

...in export_descr_character_traits.txt:

 
Trait JuliusTrait
    Hidden
    Characters family
    ExcludeCultures barbarian, eastern, egyptian, carthaginian, greek
    NoGoingBackLevel  1 
    AntiTraits JuliusCaesarTrait
 
   Level Julius_Trait
        Description Julius_Trait_desc
        EffectsDescription Julius_Trait_effects_desc
        Epithet Julius_Trait_epithet_desc
        Threshold  1

   Level Julius_Caesar_Trait
        Description Julius_Caesar_Trait_desc
        EffectsDescription Julius_Caesar_Trait_effects_desc
        Epithet Julius_Caesar_Trait_epithet_desc
        Threshold  1 
 
...

    Condition FatherTrait JuliusTrait >= 1

    Affects JuliusCaesarTrait  1  Chance  90
 
Trigger JuliusTrait_2
    WhenToTest CharacterComesOfAge
 
    Condition FatherTrait JuliusCaesarTrait >= 1
 
    Affects JuliusCaesarTrait  1  Chance  100

...in export_descr_VnVs_enums.txt:

 
JuliusTrait
JuliusTrait_desc
JuliusTrait_effects_desc
JuliusTrait_eithet_desc

...in export_VnVs.txt:

 
{JuliusTrait}     Julius
 
{JuliusTrait_desc}
This man is a member of the Julii family.
 
{JuliusTrait_effects_desc}
None
 
{JuliusTrait_epithet_desc}     Julius
 
{JuliusCaesarTrait}     Julius Caesar
 
{JuliusCaesarTrait_desc}
This man is a member of the Caesar branch of the Julii family.
 
{JuliusCaesarTrait_effects_descr}
None
 
{JuliusCaesarTrait_epithet_desc}     Julius Caesar

I then added "JuliusTrait 1" to the list of traits of the Julii faction leader. I deleted all his children excep for one male at age 14, I set his mother at age 34 and his father (the faction leader) at age 38.

If all was correct the faction leader's son should come of age soon enough and be given "Julius Caesar" as an epithet to replace his surname "Julius". I never got that far though...

Am I the worst modder ever or what? I guess it's bound to be something small, but it feels like I've double- and triple-checked everything.

Are you sure the validator says there's no problem with these?!

   Level Julius_Trait
        Description Julius_Trait_desc
        EffectsDescription Julius_Trait_effects_desc
        Epithet Julius_Trait_epithet_desc

{JuliusTrait}     Julius
 
{JuliusTrait_desc}
This man is a member of the Julii family.
 
{JuliusTrait_effects_desc}
None
 
{JuliusTrait_epithet_desc}     Julius

The coloured parts should match.

I can tell you the validator doesn't miss that particular kind of error, so again whatever changes you're making are showing up. In the validator do a search for your new traits and see if the validator actually sees them.

[Alecci]

Sorry, my bad. That was a typo thing. The coloured stuff already match.

I've got the game on a different computer, so I just typed all the code of the screen instead of transferring the files and the doing the copy/paste.

I'll be more careful in the future.
