特質模組製作

Traits are a major part of CKII and thus also for any overhaul mod. This article will explain everything you need to know about trait modding. Notepad++ is strongly recommended for modding traits, but Notepad or other plain text editors can also be used.

Definition

Traits must be defined in the folder common/traits/. To make the trait, you will first need to tell the game what effects it has. That will be done here. For this tutorial, a 'selfish' trait will be used as an example. To start off, give the trait a name:

selfish = {
}

Type

After defining the trait itself, you'll want to define its flags. The flags you can use are listed below.

The trait icons are grouped by type in-game, from left to right: education, caste_tier, undefined, lifestyle, personality, is_health. Inside a group, the order is based on the order the traits have been added to the character.

代碼名稱	Value	描述	例子	代碼
agnatic	bool	有這種特質的父親的孩子總是會繼承這種特質。		agnatic = yes
birth	int	10000個出生的角色中帶有這種特質的個數。（例如，100 = 1%）		birth = 100
blinding	bool	The trait reflects permanent blinding of the character while imprisoned. In some cultures, this disinherits them.		blinding = yes
cached	bool	All characters that have this trait will be cached for more efficient event trigger evaluation (should be a limited number). Then the character scope `<trait_name> = {}` can be use to scope to all characters with that trait.		cached = yes
can_hold_titles	bool	此特質禁止角色持有任何頭銜。		can_hold_titles = no
cannot_inherit	bool	此特質禁止角色繼承任何頭銜。		cannot_inherit = yes
cannot_marry	bool	此特質禁止角色結婚。查看詞條`can_marry`。不會禁止納妾。		cannot_marry = yes
caste_tier	int	此特質是種姓特質，caste_tier定義了種姓的順序。		caste_tier = 3
customizer	bool	如果為非，該特質不會在角色設計器中可供選擇。		customizer = no
education	bool	此特質是一種教育特質。		education = yes
attribute	attribute	主要屬性，如教育特質。		attribute = intrigue
enatic	bool	有這種特質的母親的孩子總是會繼承這種特質。		enatic = yes
hidden	bool	隱藏特質不會在角色介面顯示。		hidden = yes
immortal	bool	一旦擁有此特質，角色既不會衰老也不會自然死亡（但會死於處決或效果死亡）。參見詞條永生。		immortal = yes
in_hiding	bool	此特質會激活「藏匿中」（in_hiding ）效果。		in_hiding = yes
inbred	bool	此特質表明該角色是近親繁殖的，會影響後代、生育能力及自然死亡原因。		inbred = yes
incapacitating	bool	這個角色很虛弱且需要攝政		incapacitating = yes
inherit_chance	int	新生兒可以從父母那裡繼承這種特質的概率(可選)；如果父母雙方都有這種特質，則為兩次相同概率之和。		inherit_chance = 15
both_parent_has_trait_inherit_chance	int			`both_parent_has_trait_inherit_chance = 50`
is_epidemic	bool	The trait is given by an epidemic outbreak. See `has_epidemic` condition.		is_epidemic = yes
is_health	bool	The trait affects the health of a character, usually restricting certain events that require full health. See `health_traits` condition.		is_health = yes
is_illness	bool	The trait is a regular disease. See `is_ill` condition and `cure_illness` effect.		is_illness = yes
leader	bool	The trait is a command/leadership trait. See `can_have_more_leadership_traits` condition.		leader = yes
leadership_traits	int	The character automatically receives X number of leadership traits (army command traits).		leadership_traits = 1
childhood	bool	The trait is a childhood trait.		childhood = yes
lifestyle	bool	The trait is a lifestyle choice. See `lifestyle_traits` condition.		lifestyle = yes
opposites	List<trait>	List of traits that cannot be held simultaneously with this trait		opposites = { imbecile quick genius }
personality	bool	The trait is a personality trait (see trigger personality_traits = <min. count>)		personality = yes
prevent_decadence	bool	The trait prevents the Muslim character from accumulating decadence		prevent_decadence = yes
priest	bool	The trait implies a theological education. See `is_priest` condition)		priest = yes
pilgrimage	bool	The character is temporarily away and will need a regent but does not lose any wards		pilgrimage = yes
random	bool	With `random = no`, the trait will not be given to randomly-generated characters (when the game starts or when characters are spawned other than by being born). `random = yes` is the default. Specific semantics vary with the general trait type.		random = no
rebel_inherited	bool	Used for peasant leader and heresiarch in vanilla. When characters with such traits win the revolt war and die without an heir the successor also gains the peasant leader/heresiarch trait.		rebel_inherited = yes
religious	bool	The trait is religious in nature and should be automatically discarded upon religion change. Note: it will also be discarded upon pagan reformation.		religious = yes
religious_branch	religion	The trait identifies a sect of that religion. This will also make the children inherit the trait on birth.		religious_branch = jain
ruler_designer_cost	int	Sets a custom cost (in years of ruler's age, positive or negative) for this trait in the Ruler Designer.		ruler_designer_cost = -20
tolerates_<religion_group>	bool	The character tolerates characters of that religion group and is tolerated by them. <religion_group> is dynamic and may be a group not present in vanilla.		tolerates_christian = yes tolerates_jewish_group = yes tolerates_muslim = yes tolerates_pagan_group = yes tolerates_zoroastrian_group = yes tolerates_indian_group = yes
same_trait_visibility	bool	The trait will only be visible on other characters if the player also has it. Handy for things like secret societies, cults, and secret bears. This is a shortcut for: is_visible = { OR = { character = FROM has_trait = <trait> } }	Not used in vanilla	same_trait_visibility = yes
hidden_from_others	bool	The trait will only be visible to the player who has the trait, even other players with the same trait won't see it. This is a shortcut for `is_visible = { character = FROM }`.		hidden_from_others = yes
is_visible	conditions	Conditions for the trait to be visible: ROOT the character looking at the trait FROM is the character with the trait Typically a character should see their own traits, so at least `character = FROM` is used.		is_visible = { OR = { character = FROM society_member_of = secret_religious_society_catholic AND = { is_close_relative = FROM trait = secretly_catholic } } }
vice	bool			`vice = yes`
virtue	bool			`virtue = yes`
succession_gfx	bool			`succession_gfx = yes`
is_symptom	bool			`is_symptom = yes`

In the case of the 'selfish' trait, a personality flag would be used. Do note that it is possible to use multiple flags for a trait.

selfish = {
  personality = yes
}

Modifiers

主條目：Modifiers

After setting the trait's flags, you'll likely want to give it some character modifiers and/or a command modifier.

For 'selfish', a stewardship benefit and a diplomacy penalty would be appropriate.

selfish = {
  personality = yes

  stewardship = 2 # The CKII engine doesn't recognize '+', simply write the number when giving positive numbers
  diplomacy = -1
}

Regarding relations, no one likes someone who is selfish, so in our case, we would have to add an opposite for charitable and a general_opinion:

 selfish = {
  personality = yes

  stewardship = 2 # The CKII engine doesn't recognize '+', simply write the number when giving positive numbers
  diplomacy = -1

  opposites = {
    trait = charitable
  }

  opposite_opinion = -30
  general_opinion = -10
}

Regarding AI Weights, which affect how non-player characters will act (most of which primarily affect strategic considerations), for the 'selfish' trait, an ai_rationality would be good.

selfish = {
  personality = yes

  stewardship = 2 # The CKII engine doesn't recognize '+', simply write the number when giving positive numbers
  diplomacy = -1

  opposites = {
  trait = charitable
  }

  opposite_opinion = -30
  general_opinion = -10

  ai_rationality = -10
}

Potential

The potential section defines who can randomly start with the trait on campaign start, be randomly generated with the trait (for example via the employment decisions), or gain it randomly when coming of age. It does however not affect the outcomes of events giving the trait; even if the character does not meet the potential conditions he can still get the trait via events.

The potential section is simply one or more conditions. It is put immediately after the opening bracket of the trait. We might for example want to prevent the game from generating selfish children.

selfish = {
  potential = {
     age = 16 #This prevents anyone from under 16 being generated with the trait
  }
  personality = yes

  stewardship = 2 # The CKII engine doesn't recognize '+', simply write the number when giving positive numbers
  diplomacy = -1

  opposites = {
     trait = charitable
  }
  
  opposite_opinion = -30
  general_opinion = -10

  ai_rationality = -10
}

Compliments

Since Way of Life it is possible to define localisation keys for compliments and insults which will appear in letters from other characters, or in any other localised text via the [GetRootFromCompliment] and [GetRootFromInsult] (etc.) localisation commands. These keys will need to be localised.

Flag	Description	Code
male_compliment female_compliment	Compliments in a letter to a man/woman	male_compliment = COMPL_SCHOLAR
male_compliment_adj female_compliment_adj	Positive Adjectives in a letter to a man/woman	male_compliment_adj = COMPL_LEARNED
male_insult female_insult	Insults in a letter to a man/woman	male_insult = INSULT_TORTURER
male_insult_adj female_insult_adj	Negative Adjectives in a letter to a man/woman	male_insult_adj = INSULT_EVIL
child_compliment	Compliments in a letter written by a child, used instead of the adult ones	child_compliment = COMPL_SMARTY
child_compliment_adj	Positive adjectives in a letter written by a child, used instead of the adult ones	child_compliment_adj = COMPL_CLEVER
child_insult	Insults in a letter written by a child, used instead of the adult ones	child_insult = INSULT_PEABRAIN
child_insult_adj	Negative Adjectives in a letter written by a child, used instead of the adult ones	child_insult_adj = INSULT_STUPID

selfish = {
  potential = {
     age = 16
  }
  personality = yes
  stewardship = 2
  diplomacy = -1
  opposites = {
     trait = charitable
  }
  
  opposite_opinion = -30
  general_opinion = -10
  ai_rationality = -10
  
  male_insult = INSULT_SELFCENTERED
  female_insult = INSULT_SELFCENTERED
  male_insult_adj = INSULT_SELFISH
  female_insult_adj = INSULT_SELFISH
}

Icon

Icons make traits easily recognizable to the player. An icon can be made in Photoshop or another image editor. It needs to be 24x24 pixels, and saved as a .dds or .tga file.

When you have your icon, save it in <yourmodfolder>\gfx\traits. Now create a file at <yourmodofolder>\interface\<yourmod>.gfx. You will use this file to tell the game where the icon is stored.

Start by adding this to the file:

spriteTypes = {
	spriteType = {
	
	}
}

Make sure that you never repeat the spriteTypes block! You should instead be adding spriteType (no "s" on the end) items inside its opening and closing { curly brackets/braces }.

Now, add a line for the name:

spriteType = {
  name = "GFX_trait_<nameofthetrait>"
}

Now you should add a line to tell the game where the icon is stored:

spriteType = {
  name = "GFX_trait_<nameofthetrait>"
  texturefile = "gfx/traits/<nameofthetraiticon>.tga"
}

Add some standard lines at the end:

spriteType = {
 name = "GFX_trait_<nameofthetrait>"
 texturefile = "gfx/traits/<nameofthetrait>.tga"
 noOfFrames = 1
 norefcount = yes
 effectFile = "gfx/FX/buttonstate.lua"
}

For our 'selfish' trait, this would look like this:

spriteType = {
 name = "GFX_trait_selfish"
 texturefile = "gfx/traits/selfish.tga"
 noOfFrames = 1
 norefcount = yes
 effectFile = "gfx/FX/buttonstate.lua"
}

Save the file, and your trait should now have an icon.

Localisation

主條目：Localisation

Traits require the following localization keys:

<trait_name> : name of the trait
<trait_name>_desc : description of the trait
<trait_name>_death : in case the trait reduces heath (health = -1), used to describe the cause for premature "death by trait" (death_reason = death_trait). For instance:

ill_death;after a period of illness;d'une grave maladie;nach einer Zeit der Krankheit;;después de un período de enfermedad;;;;;;;;;x

If we do this with the selfish trait, we will get this:

selfish;Selfish;Égoïste;Selbstsüchtig;;Egoísta;;;;;;;;;x
selfish_desc;This character is Selfish and only thinks about himself;Ce personage est Égoïste et ne pense qu'a lui;German;;Spanish;;;;;;;;;x

Save the localisation as a .csv file. Once you have done that, you are done and you now have yourself a new trait!
