[A12] BackstoriesCore Update 10

Thanks for your efforts, mokonasakura.

A brief summary would be nice.
Going to check it out on the weekend.

[Vas]

I noticed an issue, HIM only works on his/her.  How do you do "him/her"?

[Devon_v]

That's not supported by the game. You just have to word your text to avoid the need for it. ie, Tynan never needed it so he didn't code it.

[Vas]

I started using "HIM" just in case, and I'll poke Tynan with it, maybe it'll be an easy fix.  Who knows.

This is the current list of replacements. I think it covers your needs:

Code Select Expand

.Replace( "HISCAP", GenText.PossessiveCap(p) )
.Replace( "HIMCAP", GenText.ProObjCap(p) )
.Replace( "HECAP", GenText.ProSubjCap(p) )
.Replace( "HIS", GenText.Possessive(p) )
.Replace( "HIM", GenText.ProObj(p) )
.Replace( "HE", GenText.ProSubj(p) );

If you need "himself/herself", just write HIMself.

[Vas]

Oh, you replied just slightly after I sent the message.  xP  Faster than me.

What would this guy's name be translated as?

[mipen]

It :p

[StorymasterQ]

No, no, that's reserved for another cousin.

This seems to be the best place to put this, here is some of the backstories I made using this mod. Most of them are just for fun and will break game immersion so if you care about that don't install or look them over and remove what you don't want. This is my first time using drop box so I'm just going to post the link it gave me. Let me know if there is balance issues and such.

Some good ones there Made me chuckle. I'll add this to the collections, if you don't mind?

[mokonasakura]

fine with me.

[Vas]

I can't figure out why this isn't working.  I was trying to create a blank backstory that lets you create a character with no advantages no disadvantages for testing purposes.

Code Select Expand

<defName>BlankBlankC</defName>
<title>Blank Childhood</title>

</BackstoryDef>
</BackstoryDefs>

I'm basically trying to figure out how much things cost in the game, Prepare Carefully's point system. 

[mokonasakura]

I lost count but here are about 30 names for those of you getting annoyed of seeing the same ones. https://www.dropbox.com/s/zdsqw383hjoko2w/MokonaNameDef.zip?dl=0



Vas copy and paste this, this will give you a blank colonist.

Game can't save, every auto save resets your character backstories.

It randomized my backstories and screwed up my character.  :/
