family tree problems round 2

[Swagger]

now the hungarian family tree is messed up

character Géza Árpád, named character, male, leader, age 18, x 24, y 220
traits Factionleader 1
army
unit EE Bodyguard exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0

character Ladislaus Árpád, named character, male, heir, age 17, x 22, y 193
army
unit EE Bodyguard exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0


;Géza Srs family
character_record Bela Árpád, male, age 34, dead 3, never_a_leader
character_record Helena, female, age 37, alive, never_a_leader

relative Bela Árpád, Helena, Géza Árpád, Ladislaus Árpád, end

have you checked the error log Swag? Try removing the special characters. add them in the name lookup file but i think thet CS doesn't handle special chars.
traits line missing for Ladislaus Árpád

[Swagger]

there's no uncommon error in the log

there's no uncommon error in the log

What does the family tree in game look like?

Otherwise I would also suggest to remove the special characters and make Bela a few years elder (it doesn't matter because only his date of death is shown).

[Subuatai de Bodemloze]

you have exactly 16 years between Bela and Geza, you could try making Geza younger or Bela older... I can't see anything else..???

[Swagger]

but they're supposed to be brothers with little age difference

[Subuatai de Bodemloze]

Bela III right? younger brother Geza older brother dead king Stephen?

[Swagger]

Bela III right? younger brother Geza older brother dead king Stephen?

yes

i had a screenshot prepared when i opened this thread, but i totally forgot to upload it

Seems to be a hard nut, because it is not the special characters. The problem seems to be with Helena or Bela.

OK, here's your checklist:

Try in this order:

(1) Check if Bela and Helena are valid names for this faction

(2) Give Helena a second name

(3) Make Bela some years older

(4) Add Bela as a living character to the map (if that worked, remove him again and set his date of death to "0").

I think Ladislaus needs a trait line. And Ladislaus and Geza need "alive" after their age (just as you did with Helena).

[Caesar Clivus]

And Ladislaus and Geza need "alive" after their age (just as you did with Helena).

No they don't because they are named characters. You only need the alive (or dead) labels for character records, not characters themselves.

A quick way of tracking down the location of the problem is to remove the youngest child from the relative line. If it works, then the problem is with him. If it doesn't work, remove the next oldest child. If it still doesn't work, then you know the problem is either with the wife/mother or the father.
