in order to add name\surname to a faction, you need to edit 2 files: data\descr_names.txt (where names are sorted by faction) and data\text\names.txt, where the game engine makes the names to be seen in-game. then you have to delete the data\text\names.strings.bin, wich is a file re-generated by the game when launching.

As regards traits, you need 2 files: data\export_descr_character_traits.txt and data\text\export_VnVs.txt. Again, you have to delete export_vnvs.strings.bin.
Be careful becouse this may ruin your saved games, so always make a backup (general modding rule). cheers

EDIT this will help you: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=92488

EDIT2 of course, you must have your game unpacked. Better if you use a "blank" mod, like Gigantus' Bare Geomod, wich is actually an emty folder launching Medieval2 (The Big Europe+America one) with some Kingdoms features. you can downloat it here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=352216

Still can't get where to set parameteres of character (those 4 parameteres right of his picture). As i understood, traits, portrait, name, hes role in family tree and other parameters just are setting up in descr_strat.txt, but cant find where to set those 4.

do you mean Command, Loyalty, Chivalry and such? they are called Attributes. Cannotbute be "set", they must be influenced by traits. You affec wich Trait influences wich Attributed in export_descr_character_traits.txt , the "Effect" line for each trait.

Check your log for the word 'error'.

[Danya82]

Where is this log?

[Taiji]

In the game's main folder you should find the \log folder.
