keeping the royal name

hello all,

I was wondering how i would keep the royal name to one thing. as it starts out william and changes to edward for the english. i was wondering how to keep all my royal family williams..

Im a bit curious of why you would want this. Can you explain?

I think it would be interasting in having king william the 10th or something like that...

If you have VI this is easy, you simply set the number of Royal Forenames to 1.

In your DEFAULT_HEROES.TXT file (which is in campma/names).

You will see a lot of entries like this:

SET_FORENAMES:: FN_ALMOHAD 8 8

The first number tells the ALMOHAD faction (in this case) that it's list of forenames are the eighth added. And the second number tells the MTW engine how many of those forenames to use as royals names.

Setting that second number to 1 will make the same (the first) forename be used over and over.

This does not mean that if you set it to 2 the second forename will be used, it means the first 2 forenames will be used over and over.

To change the first forename you will have to change 2 files, firstly this file you are in. Scroll down until you see this:

ADD_FORENAMES::

Now above the Almohad forenames are the eight, so the eight block of forenames (i.e. the 8th lot after the string ADD_FORENAMES:: has appeared) are fore the almohad faction.

Note down the name you are changing, and change the name.

Then move to your log/eng (or whatever your game language) is, and find NAMES.TXT open this and search for the name you noted down. And change it to match the change you made in DEFAULT_HEROES.TXT.

In the future I should have a tool to help you do this easily, bare with me while I try to find time to finish it.
