VnV enums unused?

[marcvs agrippa]

hello,
I've added some new trait descriptions to export_VnVs.txt but forgot to add them to the VnV_enums file. But that seems not to have any bad effect on the game, even for visible traits. They all show up and work as intended.
So I assume the VnV_enums are unused?
Or has it some other effect that does not appear in the game? :hmmm:

Nope, the file is not parsed by the game, so you can leave it as it is.

[marcvs agrippa]

ah okay. Thanks.
But what is it good for then?
A lot of guides on VnV editing say, that you have to add the enums... so was it dropped recently and I just have read old tutorials?

I believe the older versions of RTW required the enums to be updated as well, but after 1.3/1.4, that requirement was dropped.

If you aren't reading my guide on traits/ancillaries you are reading an old guide and mine does not mention the enum files at all. Personally I keep the enum files updated for completeness, not because it is required.
