Editing Names

[hickster]

I need some help.

Playing as the Starks I wanted to make it so that all the houses sworn to the Starks would have a branch of the family tree so that their families would grow, being careful that a Stark was always going to be the heir.

My problem is that the adoption offers are always people with minor house names like Wull or Liddle etc. and it was very rare that an adoption offer was a Bolton or Umber for example. So I went into descr_names and removed the house names that I didnt want. Only now the Starks don't have last names its just Robb or Rickon and the other generals got screwed up aswell like Rickard is now a Manderly instead of a Karstark.

Is there another file I need to edit to fix this so they have the right names again without adding all the last names I removed?

When editing names the 3 files you need to edit are:
descr_names.txt
descr_names_lookup.txt
text\names.txt

In this case I'm guessing the issue is with descr_names or descr_names_lookup.

Thanks it was the lookup file I needed to fix.

Another question though, I want to go back a generation on all the family trees, ie add Rickard Stark, and give him a deceased brother with all the bannermen as his sons so that I dont have to wait for adoptions, which files would I have to edit for that?

The family trees are in descr_strat.txt. There's a great tutorial for editing it here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=187293
