Trait error

Hello guys,

I recently tried to make a new Trait for diplomats, but it failed horribly.
I'm not sure what I made wrong, so I will copy the following code of the new trait

I made the change to myself in the descr_strat.txt :D

Code:

---

character        Caius Flaminius, diplomat, age 23, , x 112, y 63
traits GoodDiplomat 3 , Born 1

---

This is the export_descr_VnV_enums.txt

Code:

---

Born
Born_desc
NoBorn
NoBorn_desc

---

Then, I made this:

Code:

---

;------------------------------------------
Trait BornDiplomatic
        Characters diplomat
        AntiTraits NoBornDiplomat

    Level Born
        Description Born_desc
        EffectsDescription Born_effects_desc
        Threshold  1

        Effect Negotiation  1

;------------------------------------------
Trait NoBornDiplomat
        Characters diplomat
        AntiTraits BornDiplomat

    Level No_Born
        Description No_born_desc
        EffectsDescription no_born_effects_desc
        Threshold  2

        Effect Negotiation -1

;------------------------------------------

Why do I have an error which it doesnt allow me to play?

Tnx

The enums file is completely irrelevant - at least in later patches of the game but you seem to be missing any changes to the text file;

in data/text/export_VnVs.txt

you'd need

Quote:

---

{Born} blah

{Born_desc}
blah blah

{Born_effects_desc} blah blah

{No_Born} blah

{No_Born_desc}
blah blah

{No_Born_effects_desc} blah blah

the bit in brackets relates to the level name and must be same case - note that you have changed the capital letters for each of the descriptions in the trait file - you can do that if you follow through exactly when you put them in the text file but it is likely to confuse you - one letter in wrong case will make the game crash when you view general so better to try and be consistent!

In descr strat if you want your general to have the Born level of the trait you put the trait name and level eg:
BornDiplomatic 1

there is a trait and ancillary checker in the scriptorium by Tamur you should have a look for that it will probably help you....
