Add/remove Empire Titles (eg Galactic Custodian)

[LordCharnock]

When you become the Galactic Custodian it adds the title under the Empire name on the galaxy map.
I'm trying to find the file the manages this. That would allow me to prevent it adding the title, or to set up new titles from different triggers.

Changing the name of the Galactic Custodian is easy enough: localisation / nemesis_custodian_l_english / galactic_custodian:0 "Galactic Custodian"
But even if you change the entry to "" it still pushes your Empire name up so it's partially merged with your Empire logo, which I think is pretty ugly.
So its adding or expanding a text box underneath the logo or something, does anyone know which file manages this?

Instead of eliminating it, try to edit it with a single space [" "] or even inserting a line jump [" \n"] (there is also a space at the beginning) or two [" \n\n"]. The game gives error if there is nothing between the quotation marks (it does not accept it).

Not worked.
[" "] has the same effect at [""]
[" \n"] and [" \n\n"] add more lines under the Empire name. The effect being it pushes the Empire name up instead of down, merging it even more with the Empire logo.
[" \n\n\n"] will actually get the Empire name to sit neatly just above the logo, but id rather it be underneath as with the other Empires.

It's the only thing I can help you. Just thinking about trying to deepen the Stellaris interface code causes me urticaria:
\Stellaris\interface\galactic_community_view.gui

Thanks for the suggestions

Stellaris\interface\galactic_community_view.gui can be changed to remove text boxes in the Galactic Community View. For instance I was able to remove the Galactic Custodian title text box entirely in a test mod. And if you delete the file it will remove the Galactic Community button and interface tab entirely.

But as for removing and Empire title in the Galaxy View itself, i'm still not sure. I also tried the following file, as it sounded promising:
Stellaris\interface\galaxy_view.gui
Not actually sure what that file does though. It doesn't seem to govern populating Empire Names and Titles on the Galaxy View.
Trashing the file, or deleting it entirely, doesn't seem to affect the Galaxy View at all.

Given that Empire names are randomly generated on game setup I suspect that data in the Galaxy View is take from save files, rather than a permanent game file.
But even if the game is getting Empire titles like Galactic Custodian from a save file, one of the permanent game files must have instructed it to add the title in the first place.
The search goes on.

In your case, the problem is that the interface and files in the \Stellaris\gfx\interface folder must be related. I think it won't be easy to find it.

Nor do you forget to take a look at \Stellaris\gfx\FX

Luck in your search.
