No Titles for Witches
« on: 2008 November 29, 10:27:31 »
THANKS THIS IS GREAT

Really simple, I just removed the text from the witches/warlocks so it doesn't show as Blah Bluh the Incredibly Annoying Warlock anymore. The file has to be titled Live.package or this won't work.

Updated, compressorized.

I already have a live.package from Jordi, for names. Is there any way to concatenate the two?

I'm assuming this won't affect already spawned/made witches? Or will it?
It will affect all of the witches.

Do you have SimPe? It should be fine if you export the strings from mine and import them into that one.

Now I'm inspired to actually make that as a title.

Necroing to ask if this still works. I have it installed and my Sims still get annoying witch titles.

It still works fine for me with M&G installed. Do you have any other package files named 'Live.package' in your downloads folder?

No, of course not. Aside from this being the only Live.package I've ever downloaded, my only other addons are every package inside the FFS Director's Cut zip for AL.

Oh, I guess the only Stuff pack I have installed is GL but that shouldn't matter.

EDIT: I even used the Lot Debugger to remove the witch title and it reappeared within seconds.  Undecided

Okay I'm still baffled by this. After placing the Live.package in Downloads failed to work, I decided to edit the AL default Live.package inside the resources folder with the modified strings. The replacement was simple and smooth, modifying nothing else in the file.

However, even though the titles aren't present in any of the files now, my witch Sims are still somehow getting the titles back automatically. Is there anywhere else these title strings are contained?

It seems likely.

Found the problem. Apparently my game's language was set to UK English and the strings I modified (and this thread's file modified) were just for the default English. Fixed my game's language in the registry and it's all peachy now.

Alternatively, you could just clear the EN_UK stringset in the mod. Changing your game's language in midstream does bad, bad shit to your neighborhood. And fucks up your clock.

Nothing bad's happened yet, as far as I can see. Guess for now I'll consider myself lucky.

Though, what do you mean by the clock? It seems normal to me...

Why not fix the string sets for all languages?  If a certain title has the same index in the string table for all languages, that should be doable.  If not, could require some translation.  I could help with the Polish stringset if you'd like.

Pescado, can the bad, bad shit be undone or not?  Would changing back to the original language help at all or just screw things up more?

Well assuming you change the language with the game closed, it would affect all neighborhoods, not just one. Thus, all of them would eventually explode, BFBVFS style.

I'm not saying JM's wrong, just saying that said bad shit hasn't made itself known yet. I've watched the boards long enough to know he knows wtf he's talking about.

EDIT: Oh, and you should be able to easily modify the stringsets for all languages in the file since every string is only going to consist of "%s" anyways, regardless of how the titles were written in those languages. I was going to do that until I realized that my game's language being set incorrectly would probably bring this issue up again down the road.

Putting it back may help, but the damage may already be done. People have reported that changing their install locale results in their sims being arbitrarily renamed. YMMV. The neighborhood won't EXPLODE, but you may end up with everyone's names messed up.
