I'm reworking all traits and triggers and now I have run into a big problem. So I hope some of the modding-pros here can help me out!
This is what I've done:
I exported the export-file to microsoft excel where I sorted all traits in alphabetical order (and also in the text- and enums-files). So now all traits are in the right order and nothing is missing (I'm quite sure since the computer sorted everything automatically - and I've doublechecked it).
Then I reexported all lines to notepad-files (export_descr_character_traits, export_descr_VnVs_enums and export_VnVs). Except for the fact that everything is now in a good order there seems to be no difference between the original files and the new ones.
But then when I start the game it doesn't work. Or rather, I can start the game but when I try to start a campaign the game returns to the menu. Then I exit the game the show_err says that it can't find the trait "Loyal" which an ancillary trigger is looking for.
"Weird", I thought. I looked it up and the trait "Loyal" is there. So I removed all triggers in the ancillary-file but then it says some other trait in the export_advice-file can't be found.
Of course, no trait is missing and I can see no difference between the traits from my new file and the traits from the original file! So why the heck can't the game find any of the traits?! ~:confused:
Thanks in advance :bow:
EDIT: Never mind. I solved it.
