Help! I can't see new traits... :(

[Lidror]

Hi, I tried to add a new trait and I followed this tutorial forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=77176
The trait works (it adds charm to the princess), but I can't see its description text in the character window!

That's what I've done:

File export_descr_character_traits.txt
Trait
;------------------------------------------
Trait BeautifulVoice
Characters princess

Level Pleasant
Description Pleasant_desc
EffectsDescription Pleasant_effects_desc
Threshold 1

Effect Charm 1

Level Charming
Description Charming_desc
EffectsDescription Charming_effects_desc
Threshold 2

Effect Charm 2

Level Heavenly Voice
Description Heavenly_desc
EffectsDescription Heavenly_effects_desc
Threshold 3

Effect Charm 3

And trigger...
;------------------------------------------
Trigger princess_voice
WhenToTest CharacterComesOfAge

Condition AgentType = princess

Affects BeautifulVoice 1 Chance 10
Affects BeautifulVoice 1 Chance 5
Affects BeautifulVoice 1 Chance 2

File export_VnVs.txt
¬--------------------

{Pleasant} Pleasant Voice

{Pleasant_desc}
This woman has a Pleasant Voice

{Pleasant_effects_desc}
+1 Charm

¬--------------------

{Charming} Charming Voice

{Charming_desc}
This woman has a Charming Voice

{Charming_effects_desc}
+2 Charm

¬--------------------

{Heavenly} Heavenly Voice

{Heavenly_desc}
This woman has a Heavenly Voice

{Heavenly_effects_desc}
+3 Charm


File export_descr_vnvs_enums.txt
Pleasant Voice
Pleasant Voice_desc
Pleasant Voice_effects_desc
Charming Voice
Charming Voice_desc
Charming Voice_effects_desc
Heavenly Voice
Heavenly Voice_desc
Heavenly Voice_effects_desc
Heavenly Voice_gain_desc
Heavenly Voice_epithet_desc



In the system.log.txt I found this errors

After hours wasted... I don't know what to do...

[Lidror]

...I also use a .bat file (medieval2.exe --io.file_first)

Sorry for double posting...

[Arbaces]

you'll definately have to add the following in export vnvs:
{Heavenly Voice_gain_desc} whatever you wish
{Heavenly Voice_epithet_desc} ...
or remove them from everywhere.

Further to this see the rest of the traits make sure you did in the same way as it is done ...

you're almost there... Not so sure is gonna be useful, but you definately have good ideas...

Here's your problem:

[quote]Level Heavenly Voice
Description Heavenly_desc
EffectsDescription Heavenly_effects_desc
Threshold 3]/quote]

The level must match the description and effects. Therefore, instead of 'Heavenly Voice' it should be 'Heavenly.' --

Level Heavenly
Description Heavenly_desc
EffectsDescription Heavenly_effects_desc
GainMessage Heavenly_gain_desc
Epithet Heavenly_epithet_desc
Threshold 3

Additionally, your entries in export_descr_vnvs_enums.txt should read as such:
[quote]Pleasant
Pleasant_desc
Pleasant_effects_desc
Charming
Charming_desc
Charming_effects_desc
Heavenly
Heavenly_desc
Heavenly_effects_desc
Heavenly_gain_desc
Heavenly_epithet_desc

Make these changes and your descriptions should be visible :)

Thanks! What a silly mistake...
now everything's working. :)

By the way, you don't have to edit the enums. But they could be used (and are maybe used by CA) to check for exactly such mistakes.
