Folks,
Here is what I did to get my custom names working (lifted from my support post).
Good News: I know how to get the two custom name ruleset files to work and have tested this successfully. Bad News: The game should be allowing mod file overwrite but it isn't. Not sure what other XMLs will not modifiy.
Solution for Name Rulesets:
Hooray. I'll try it out. Thanks for the info.
I noticed that Sovereigns use the World nameset rules. Anyone else see this. Seems a little odd don't you think?
[Snip ridiculously complicated instructions for getting a modded file to work in the game.]
Is this really the only way to get custom name generators to work?? I appreciate Capn Darwin's work on this, but I'd like to be able to include a name generator with my mod. Is that just not possible at this point?
Edit: Actually it appears this isn't even working. Do we have any means of modding this at this point?
Stuie,
It appears to be totally broken in 1.19. I can't appear to mod any core xml in the data directory. Even recompiling the data.zip does nothing.
Here is another good one.
Decided to change the cost of teleportation. I copied the Strat mobility to the mods folder and changed the cost. Fired up a game and was greeted with two mana cost lines in the spell, but the spell worked and cost me the combined cost. Next I gutted my mod file just to leave the mana cost element in there. Still got duel cost and now the spell does not work. I click on a new square, I get an animation, but my Sov is still stuck where he was. Mana burned. I decided to go postal on the situation. I killed my mod file. I change the cost in the data xml file. I recompiled the data.zip. Started a new game and bam! Spell shows up with its original cost. The 64 peso question: Where did that data come from?
I'm baffled. Maybe one of the Mod Gods will know what is up.
Yeah - I rolled back to 1.11 and got it working. Still wish these files worked in the mod folder though. Asking the end-user of a mod to overwrite vanilla files might not fly.
See here for a "fix" for 1.19:
Heh my guess was right. I'm awesome.
Outstanding! Thanks!!
Edit: Yup - this is MUCH better. LOL Thanks again!!
