How to delete character names?

[Danny087]

Hi,

I want to delete all "non-aristicratic" names of the prussian characters.
Therefore i deleted all names in "names_tables\names" that doesn't look like for example
"zu Dohna-Schlobitten" or "von Sachsen-Anhalt".
But the result was, that now ingame there are alot of characters WITHOUT ANY name!

Why did this happen and how can I fix it?

Hmm, as far as i know, most of the text description is held in patch_en.pack.

If you didn't make a backup you will have to reinstall the whole ETW ( or check your game cache integrity on Steam ).

So you edited one of the db tables, but from which *.pack?

Text descriptions are held in *.loc files ( open with Excel after export ).

Ah, so at names_tables\names are just the internal names!

So does anybody know, where to find the ingame names?

[Danny087]

Alright, found it, BUT:

if i delete in names_tables\names all names that don't begin with "von ...." for example
"von Hohenzolllern", the only two names that are used ingame are
"zu Stolberg" and "vom Altenstein"


So is there a file that defines or selects the names that are given ingame?
Perhaps some kind of random generator?

Only "generator" files that i know, are the *.lua and *.luac files, which makes the game buttons ( don't delete them !! ).

But the descriptions ( events, character names, titles,etc ) are held in your localisation.loc and ui.loc file.

Search for this two pack files : patch_en.pack and local_en.pack ( i have ETW 1.5, but you should have this files too in data directory).
