[RF] Editable Backstories and Names [b19]
Showing 1-2 of 2 entries
Update: 12 Oct, 2018 @ 7:50pm

- Added the ability to define special lists of names to be used together with backstory FilterSets. (For example, in the provided database, pawns with medieval backstories will now have names drawn from a list of medieval English names, rather than from the main name database.)

- Altered the optional backstory "source" tags to use parentheses instead of brackets, so the game doesn't misread them.

- Squashed a bug that occasionally caused null exception errors when the game tried to create a new pawn.

Update: 7 Oct, 2018 @ 2:23pm

- Updated mod name from "Editable Backstories" to "Editable Backstories and Names."

- Fixed body type randomization, which was inadvertently broken in the initial update to b19.

- Added 17 backstories to the mod's database, based on vanilla Pirate King and "snowflake" backstories added to the game since a16.

- The mod now supports adding names to the game's database from simple text files, in addition to adding them from an XML names file. The latter is primarily useful now for defining name/backstory sets, rather than for simple name lists.

- Added the ability to define lists of "sets" of first names and nicknames, so pawns can have nicknames that actually have a connection to their given names.

- Normal mode no longer literally overwrites the vanilla database. Vanilla backstories will still be visible in (and can be selected from) "Prepare Carefully" or similar mods, but will never be given to pawns randomly.

- Switching between "lite" and normal modes no longer requires restarting the game.

- A new configuration option allows you to add a source tag to backstory titles, so you can easily tell them apart in "Prepare Carefully." This tag will also be visible in pawns' bio windows, but can easily be removed just by resetting the config option.

- Random backstory selection now has a slight bias against backstories which disable dumb labor, firefighting or violence. (This change was inspired by the "weighting" of backstories that was added to vanilla in b19.)

- Removed "Mod Sync Ninja" files.
