<p>142.109.110.239: /* Notes */</p> <hr /> <div>{{DISPLAYTITLE:export_VnVs.txt}}<br /> '''export_VnVs.txt''' contains all the text which is displayed in the game for the Trait Levels which are defined in [[export_descr_character_traits.txt]].<br /> <br /> If a trait level does not have it's description set up properly in this file the game will CTD when you attempt to view a character with that trait!<br /> <br /> M2TW has a [[export_vnvs.txt.strings.bin]] file instead of this which contains similar content in a different format.<br /> <br /> ==Format==<br /> <br /> {Level_Name} Good Commander<br /> <br /> {Level_Name*_desc}<br /> This man is a born leader who inspires .....<br /> <br /> {Level_Name*_gain_desc}<br /> This popular commander has become a serious danger to his own troops!<br /> <br /> {Level_Name*_epithet_desc} the Glorious<br /> <br /> {Level_Name*_effects_desc}<br /> -3 Command, +6 Morale for all troops on the battlefield<br /> ===Explanation===<br /> The Level_Name must be the same as the actual name given to the trait '''level''' in [[Export_descr_character_traits.txt]], not the overall trait name, that is not used in this file.<br /> <br /> &lt;nowiki&gt;*&lt;/nowiki&gt;The following sections Level_Name_desc etc must be written exactly as they are in [[Export_descr_character_traits.txt]] for that trait, so if that file 'misspells' something, eg. Level_Naem_desc or uses Level_name_desc with a lower case letter, so must this file, or else hello desktop..... <br /> <br /> The gain_desc and epithet_desc are not used for all traits, only those where the character should gain an addition to his visible name, or where a message is sent to the player when a certain trait is gained. If they are present in [[Export_descr_character_traits.txt]] for the particular trait level they MUST be in this file as well. <br /> <br /> ===Notes===<br /> Use tab and not space after the closing } or your text will be offset in the game.<br /> <br /> The effects_desc will show up in game as the effect that the trait has - it is intended to tie up with the actual effect of the trait but as it is added manually might not actually do so.<br /> <br /> The file must be saved in unicode format, saving it as an ascii format file will cause a CTD.<br /> <br /> ==Medieval II Information==<br /> The equivalent to this file in M2TW is [[export_vnvs.txt.strings.bin]] that can be converted to a text file equivalent for editing, see [[strings.bin files]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Modding]]<br /> [[Category:RTW Modding]]<br /> [[Category:RTW Files]]</div>
