1.5 update: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3407143272

hello again
would you please consider updating this to the latest version of the game?

I would just like to gently poke you on the shoulder and ask if you would consider spending some time to bring this into 1.4

Can I use your BackstroyDefs for a school project? Thanks in advance!

sweet

Believe it or not, pre-1.4, adding backstories wasn't as easy as it sounded; Tynan really liked to keep those close to the heart code-wise and you needed HAR to make backstories work. While I haven't been able get into 1.4, Chicken Plucker told me that it's a lot easier now to add backstories. Once I get time, I'll bring this up to 1.4 and remove the HAR dependency.

Why does this need HAR? Shouldn't this be pure XML?

I'll work on a few more backstories before bringing this to 1.4, and get a few sample images of backstories made as well.

any hope of 1.4 or is that a no show?

Ive been running into that myself alot recently. Like with the Forgotten Realms Lizardmen. Seems to work regardless. If you find a solution to it, hit me up.

the package id has "_copy" on it. is that intentional?

Yeah, same,

Same as the other 2. I have a lot of mods running so I'd like to get a sense of which backgrounds are from this mod. Thank you!

I'd ask the same thing. Nice to see a little preview.

Was wondering if we could get an image or example of what some of the backstories are about.
