Name places yourself - Kingdoms, Regions, Groups.
« on: February 15, 2017, 01:15:20 pm »
Basically I made a post eons ago asking if it was possible to name entities and regions in game and the census was no.
However after experimenting I actually figured out how but never bothered posting it or telling anyone how.

So I figured I should put up a little post here letting people know incase they ever wanted to do the same.

Step 1: Generate world.

Step 2: Go into the data/saves/raw/objects and open the text file language_words

Step 3: Use DF Legends mode to check regions and or civs.

Step 4: Replace undesired words in language file with whatever you like.

"The land of farts" Well maybe I change fart to heroes! "The land of heroes"

Or "The barbs of sandles" Well just switch out barbs for mountain and sandles for kings "The mountain of kings"

Easy peasy and bullet proof. It causes no errors, no issues and best of all its simple.

Doesn't that just replace every instance of the word throughout the world?
I'm not sure how this helps to change the name of specific sites.

Yes that is true. Thats why i tend to only want to change stupid words.
Id rather not have anyone or anything named "Sandled" I am okay with all instances of "Sandled" Becoming "Dragon" or "King" or "Fire"

So if you have a huge plain called "The Plain of Jokes" You just change jokes to "Fire" and now its the "Plain of Fire" so thats how you do it.

Yep and there is no time limit on it either. You can edit the document at literally any moment you desire. So if you meet a bad ass NPC and his name is "SandledCandles the Jacket" Well now he is "Furywrath the Angry"

It took me way to long to realize this exploit.
And the best part is you can edit it from the save folder so it wont effect your main raws and they will remain pure and untampered with.
