📋 About This Mod
The origin is here: https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/1101
But the source is based on papoursssss's version: https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/5322
I updated the Distinguished Service with some minor tweaks. Currently, this mod supports Bannerlord v1. 2. 12 v1. 3. 10.
## Differences from the original (or other versions)
-
[]Using MCM: You can change the options by the MCM screen instead of editing settings.xml
[
]Full Localizability: You can translate almost all of the text. The only exceptions are internal error messages.[]Name Pool Extensionability: You can add name suffixes (or, generally, also prefixes). See the following section
[]Extra minor tweaks: some options are changed for more convenience, and the other less important options are abolished due to compatibility. E. g.:
-
[]You can't change the location of external_namelist.txt. This mod reads and edits only DistinguishedServiceRedux/external_namelist.txt
[
]Rework or remove options that actually don't work while they are shown in the previous Settings.xml### How to add NPC name formats
You can add extra name formats like "blah blah <of the foo bar>".
create DistinguishedServiceRedux/ModuleData/module_strings/namelist-suctomized.xml and add entries as in namelist.xml.
If you want to add a troop-type-specific suffix, you should write it ID like this:
ServDist_nameformat_<TROOPTYPE>.<NAME>
<TROOPTYPE> must be one of infantry, cavalry, or ranged. <NAME> is up to you, if only the ID is distinct from any other one.
If you want to add a culture-specific suffix, you should write it ID like this:
ServDist_nameformat_regional_<CULTURETYPE>.<NAME>
<CUTLURETYPE> must be any culture ID. You can see the IDS from the other XML file. <NAME> is up to you, if only the ID is distinct from any other one.
### How to add extra random NPC names
Open DistinguishedServiceUpdated/external_namelist.txt, add any name per a line, and save it in UTF-8 encoding.
Then, the picked soldier's name is chosen
