Tooltips that show effect of traits and opinion

[unmerged(15089)]

Here is an improved trait tooltip mod

As of 1.01 all traits have "opinion values", meaning that a lieges traits will affect his vassals opinion of him, according to which traits THEY have. This is then reflected in their "character trait" loyalty modifier, which can be positive or negative. This can have a HUGE impact, if you play a heretic liege, don`t appoint a master theologian vassal

At the present time there is NO way of telling in-game how a prospective vassals traits will work with your traits, and as most characters have multiple traits, guessing is downright impossible.

This is a real problem, as traits is one the central concepts in the game, and maybe the funniest part of the gameplay.

I`ve spent the last couple of days fiddling around with the trait_names.csv, and now have a working copy, where the in-game tooltips displays the effect of the trait on the owner (in hard numbers), as well as the opinion-modifiers characters with this trait have towards all other traits.

This makes it possible to chose a suitable vassal among your courtiers, considering your main characters traits. Very very handy, I can tell you.

EDIT: Now added modifiers from the event folder.

Wow, great work O'Great Dane.. going to try it right away.

Regarding downloading/saving the file, just remove the .html when you get the save dialog, or rename it to something else to prevent it from overwriting the original file (if you're downloading directly to the config dir).

This is a great tool, fine effort Doc2

Just one very small question: I have installed the mod and it does work very well for most traits, but I have found some traits are listed as "UNKNOWN STRINGS" with no other text, have I goofed the installation?

Again, excellent effort! This has really filled a gap in the game

I got some Tripod ADS in the file, maybe that's what causing the STRING error?

/F

The only Tripod ad text I found was at the bottom of the file, I removed it before I copied the contents over to the proper CK file. I'll check to see if there is some more hidden in the main body of text.

I think the file is clean, maybe some tripod crap?

Anyway, check the file yourself, it`s quite easy to understand the format once you gat the hang of it.

Same here :

Illusive Shadow
Reckless
Hopeless Spender

The description works fine, but the name part shows USW..

File looks fine in excel, could be a missing ; somewhere..

Yep, small error.
Fixed now, get new version through link above. Thanks for pointing it out

 

[FrEDa]

Tackar..

What was the problem? Always willing to learn something new..

*dling version2*

In the line PRECEDING the affected traits, there was a ; missing, as you already suspected

The only problem with the tooltips as far as I can see is that they only list the direct effects, so a noob reading them might check Zealous, see that it directly affecs piety and start thinking that it's a piec of crap, even if it really is the most impressive trait in the game (It multiplies the MTTH for convertiong provinces by a frigging 0.4 !, translated to normal speech: it is almost three times as fast to convert provinces)

There are other traits with good "side effects" like that, but none as good. Zealous is also the most importnat to change in the file because it is rather easy to get if you want it and people who dont know of it might just disregard it and go for a cheap peace in "Heathens Divided"

You`re right. I have gone through the event folder, the traits modifiers for events now included in the updated file. Updated file available in my signature, let me know if I missed anything

Is it compatabile with new CK 1.02 version ?

 

[unmerged(2037)]

Looks like great mod. Thanks for your effort.

 

[Gratianus]

Typing error ?

Line52

TRAIT_DESC_COWARD;The Character is consumed with ・・・・・・ vengeful -3, severely wounded +2, zealous -2s)

"zealous -2s" is "zealous -2" ?

 

[Hermes]

great job. works fine for me.

does this file need updating? i havent played CK in a while and i cant remember if the effects of traits have been edited since then. if they have been altered, and this project isnt up-to-date, is there any other mod with this similar function?
