Makes sense. Why's ASSERTIVE culled? That might help if you don't do that.

[SwedishLemon]

Didn't work. Their names are still Aslez and Uzo, and the similar counterparts when I change their language to elven, dwarven, and human.

What the hell is your [SELECT_SYMBOL:NATURE:NAME_WAR] supposed to do? It reads like two ideas that merged together by accident.

Good grief, my adventurer ended up being left-handed. I need to switch the main hand to right hand.

That's not something you can do in the raws.

DFHack, maybe.

You could try swapping the LEFT and RIGHT tags in the HUMANOID_NECK template (without changing the bodypart tokens).  That might make the game refer to your character as using his/her right hand.

If this works, it will make the vast majority of that world lefthanded.

Crap, inability to customize whether your character is left or right handed or what description he/she has is tiresome. I just wanna enjoy the game already not waste 10+ hours trying to fix/mod shit. *falls on the floor, frustrated and exhausted*

What is wrong about being lefthanded?  Are you dead set on re-enacting a scene from The Princess Bride?

No, I'm just adamant about having my character use right hand to use scimitar and left hand for a shield. My brain gets confused to the point of frustration if I have to imagine the battle with the left hand as the main hand with my character and on a side note I don't know anything about that movie let alone what scene is in question.

So I used my calm passive-aggressive limbo state to make my character from scratch AGAIN.. *sigh* who's personality isn't as forgiving this time around to some things thanks to my frustration and luckily she ended up being a right-hand user. Whew. Sorry I'm just exhausted and haven't gotten much sleep.

Handedness is chosen at random, regardless of whether they have two hand or twenty.

Besides, there are more than a few different characters that are left-handed. Like Link, or, uh... Ned Flanders?

Hellboy.  Inigo Montoya (sometimes).  A ridiculous number of professional baseball pitchers.

[Putnam]

Handedness can be adjusted in DFHack quite easily with you.body.weapon_bp. weapon_bp refers to a body part index. For humanoids, that would be 10 for right hand and 11 for left hand IIRC (at the very least, right hand == left hand-1)

What the hell is your [SELECT_SYMBOL:NATURE:NAME_WAR] supposed to do? It reads like two ideas that merged together by accident.

So that they name their wars after nature.

[BlackFlyme]

With the way it is arranged, they would name nature after wars, if NATURE was an allowable SYMBOL tag. The allowable symbols are, according to the wiki, as follows:

ALL, REMAINING, BATTLE, BRIDGE, CIV, LIBRARY, MILITARY_UNIT, RELIGION, ROAD, SIEGE, SITE, TEMPLE, TUNNEL, VESSEL, WALL, WAR

Replace NATURE with WAR, and replace NAME_WAR with NATURE. Like this:

Code: [Select]

[SELECT_SYMBOL:WAR:NATURE]
Now wars will be named after animals, plants, and any other word listed under the NATURE symbol in the file language_SYM.txt

THANK YOU! My lycans have normal names now! Does SELECT_SYMBOL:BATTLE need to be adjusted as well?
