Few questioned about editing

[Kash]

I use pakman to open the pak files and can pretty much understand what files I'm looking at, but I run into a few problems once I edit the names of Kings, Queen, Knights and Marshals.

I'm sure this is a simple question, but for some reason I'm doing something wrong.
Once I change the names of Kings,Queens,Prince and Princess. Their name looks like this

King : James.m
Queen: Mary.f

How do I get rid of the .m and .f ?

Ok for Marshals its a little different...Some are called Earl: John Doe : Marshal

I would like to change( Earl)to( Royal Knight) : John Doe: Marshal but I end up with this

Royal Knight:cap John Doe.m : Marshal

How do I get rid of the cap after royal knight?

Ok here is the major question..I would like a female as marshal
I can remane the marshal with a female name but it looks like this

Royal Knight:cap Jane doe.m : Marshal with a man's picture instead of female

How can I get the female picture to be used for a marshal

I'm sure with the rename issue, there must be some other files I need to edit..A list of the files needed to be edited with the names to lose the Cap and .m and .f would be very helpful

Thanks for any help

Hi, Kash

the whole issue is that you added names that are not defined in texts.pak All texts that emerge in game must be put there

open Texts/knights/eu_knights.tsv and add there names you want as they are there:
example:
John Doe.m John Doe
Jane Doe.f Jane Doe

and cap: problem will be solved by adding "royal knight" to titles.tsv in the same directory
Again follow key which is used for other titles.

I never tried to make female knights so this you must try yourself. If you find a way, post it please here: http://forum.sunflowers.de/showthread.php?t=3898

PS: marshals (and knights generally) are red from eu_knights.tsv and "knight nations" which are defined in europe.pak maps/europe/knights in regions.ini and in certain .in2

maybe try to add female name among male ones with the mane it should work somehow, but I really don't know how to manage it with faces.

good luck

Possible ideas to modify faces to femalefrom someone who has no clue how to mod yet...

Arab states reference a different portrait file... figure out where this is defined and you could probably reset it to the female portraits for your state. All your princes might start to look like princessess and will marry princesses which would make for some confusing royal families. Perhaps there is a way to have the female portrait file be referenced only under certain conditions but I kind of doubt it.

Thanks for the help in renaming Knights...I have one other question you might be able to help me with...I would like to rename a City

If I chose Brittany during 1000 bc the main city is Bretagne.
How do I go about changing the name of the city Bretagne?

I've tried changing it and I get an error stating Bretagne is without a Realm

[Elvain]

this is again in texts, not in texts/map eu_towns.tsv which defines names of towns and eu_realms.tsv which defines names of kingdoms and provinces.
If you have province without a town (both have same names like f.i. Cairo, Alexandria or Rome) you need to add it into towns.ini and then to eu_towns.tsv
Note: when writing province name in towns.ini take care that you write KEY. Sometimes key name differs from name in game (f.i. Mecklemburg is game name while key is Hannover. btw german realms are total mess)
I will post somewhere map of province (key)names and numbers

Seems to be that the .f and .m could be the gender flags. Just a guess, I don't know for sure.
