This wasnt being seen in the technical area so i pasted it here sorry...

Ok so i wanted to add characters into EB, new family members at the start of the campaign (not actually in the tree though, seperate, like in RSII) but have come up against some difficulties.
I also wanted to give this character a new name, one that was not present in the traits file (i know how you cool people at EB used epithets for the roman Nomen and Cognomen's) i did everything you are meant to do (im pretty sure i missed nothing) but it still CTD's at the start of campaign. I had no trouble creating a character with an EB name, but only when i created the name.

So in the export_VnVs file i added

¬--------------------

{Valerivs_Poplicola} Valerivs Poplicola

{Valerivs_Poplicola_desc}
This man is a member of the Valerivs Poplicola family.

{Valerivs_Poplicola_effects_desc}
He has the name Valerivs Poplicola.

{Valerivs_Poplicola_epithet_desc}
Valerivs Poplicola

in the export_descr_character_traits i did

relative Lvcivs Romanvs, Clavdia Romanvs, end
relative Caivs Romanvs, Antonia Romanvs, end
relative Marcvs Romanvs, Agrippina Romanvs, end
relative Titvs Romanvs, Avrelia Romanvs, end

Im absolutely sure i did everything right, and if you were wondering, the other character i made, Marcvs Ivlivs Caesar, works perfectly.
And no, there are no other Titvs Romanvs's in the desc_strat file, therefore not creating a CTD.
Please help, its for YATS (the aar thing) and it needs to be working

Thankyou very much in advance
