I heard a few people saying they wanted to add their own custom V&V for fun. I'm assuming if you could add them, you could also delete them. This would prove useful for anyone who wants to get rid of those annoying bad V&V that ruin you good general. Anyone know how this might be done?

thanks in advance.

This sounds interesting, any modders want to share? I am refining the frogmod right now and a few tweaks to the V&V would be the fancy sugar flower thing on the icing on the cake.

If I recall correctly, most of them are listed in events.txt.

Those which aren't listed there are I think in changes.txt, but I'm not positive about that one as its been awhile since I looked.

While it would be possible to edit the body of the V&V message to say whatevr you choose, I do not think it possible to delete them , they are tied to random coded events and assigned to Kings/Generals so if a trigger is set by a Kings/Generals action and the corresponding V&V is deleted and not avalable I think it would cause problems. same would apply for adding, there would be no appropriate trigger to apply the newly added V&V so how would it be assigned? so again it is possible to change the wording in the V&V Message as it is a simple translation
// Vice and virtue text
[gain_v_title]
{Vice or Virtue Gained}
[scandal]
{Scandal}
[scandal_blurb]
{There is public outrage as the secret vice of one of the nobility is revealed. }
[person_concerned]
{Person concerned : }
so anything within the { } rounded brackets can be edited, the program looks the original label in the [ ] square brackets to point to the translation, I dont know how changing the message would help anyone but they can do it if they choose.
Now I have not tried any of this myself and this is my opinion, from my experience with similar editing and modding in general. Expermentation, tests would be needed to confirm... LOS
