Messing With the Traits System [Help?]

[Ronin]

I love Stainless Steel! One thing I was hoping on doing however was ripping out the traits system and putting in one of my own... I'm really into the detailed character part of the game... Reminds me of Paradox's Crusader Kings!

If I totally rip Stainless Steel's character traits and anrchilles (sp?) out of the game replacing them with files of my own (built from the ground up) will I need to alter anything else in Stainless Steel? What I mean is will the game catch fire and explode because I took out some element that some other element relied on?

Really looking forward to this project, I haven't modded MTW2 in a long time. I used to have a mod called Divided Kingdoms... But that was a LONGGG time ago...

I think you'll be ok if you remove any references to those traits in the scripts. Some traits may also be essential, so someone once said.

If you take out all the traits in SS's traits file, then you will also need to edit the traits that starting characters get in the campaigns descr_strat files, as well as traits given to characters spawned in the campaign script.

Where may I find these and other references to the traits? I'm really rusty at this...

In the folders for each campaign. Stainless_Steel_6\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign for the early era campaign and Stainless_Steel_6\data\world\maps\campaign\custom\Late_Era_Campaign for the late era campaign. The files you want are descr_strat.txt for both campaigns, campaign_script.txt for early era and custom_script.txt for the late era script.
