Sex-Changing Daughters to sons

Well the game stores names as numbers, which index into a list of names for the type of character and the faction. I just left the numbers as they were and the name changed appropriately when the gender changed, but to choose the name you would have to cross reference the numbers and the list (I assume it is one of the descr_ files. descr_names?) and put the right one in.

You changed the sex of your daughters? That's gross man.

That's awesome Chris, you need to make it into a mini-mod. :2thumbsup:

Although I've only tested in on characters which have yet to come of age, everything seemed fine in the test, no CTD in sight!

By Ahura Mazda! If we could manipulate this, we could have distant cousins marrying each other, just like they did in Antiquity; even brothers and sister (Incest thread springs to mind).
I propose that more research be put into this, in the name of science history.

Alright, this is officially the most important thread in the EB1 forums now.

:balloon:
An inbred red balloon to you good sir.

Okay, so why am I starting to get reminded of The Fuzz's epic "This excites me." thread in the EBII forum now...? :inquisitive:

Chris... .... ... Why do you have to be so awesome?

Cheers for you, since you always manage to surprise me, and leave me with an open mouth for the rest of the day. :medievalcheers:

Wow... Chris, what program are you using? Can you post a link? :yes:

I definitely will do, once I can automate it. At the minute it requires some manual adjusting by me to get it to the right place and find it. I'm getting closer though, just takes time.

Sort of related to cousing marrying, I will soon test if characters from different factions can marry, and what effect that would have on the game. Also, since the marriage seems to be a one way link, from the man to the wife/character it might be possible to have someone as a wife of more than one man. I'll try that soon too.

Any good hex editor, a notepad to scribble on, and a good supply of lucozade/drink of your choice!

Nice! I hate to be somewhat demanding, but can you give me a link to a hex editor download? :yes:

Thank you sooooo much! I really appreciate this! :D It's not often anyway that a random complaint I make has such an awesome solution!

Is there any word on this? I've tried looking to hex edit a save game myself, but I can't figure out which string does what.

Yeah, same situation on my side. I'm just as lost as you are, if not more. Chris, come back to me...

BTW, I think Chris deserves a balloon for this. Here ya go -----> :balloon2: -M
