Alias - Beta Release
Added 2022-11-20 09:36:02 +0000 UTCSo, a long time ago, Real Name Settlers used to be in Life in the Ruins, but I ran across a bug where, because the renamed settlers were thrown into a quest alias, they would never despawn after being kills, you'd just get dead settlers in piles 5 feet deep across the commonwealth, at every encounter location. At the time, I wasn't able to fix it.
So, while doing the scripts for Immersive Legendary Mutations, I had a bit of an idea for how I could fix it (just remove the NPC from the quest alias, suprisingly simple), as well as potentially expand it out to a full framework to do procedural name generation, using SPID to distribute the renamer spell, so that there is zero patching required.
So, here's what I've been able to work up quickly, borrowing the names banks from Real Name Settlers (which has open permissions, thankfully).
What it is
- The Framework master file, and the file which applies names to settler NPCs with the generic name "Settler", it should not overwrite existing uniquely named settlers. Names are randomly generated, from a bank of 50 male, 50 female, and 100 last names.
What it requires
- SPID, and Baka Framework (a requirement of SPID)
Compatibilty
- 100%. Fully safe to add to LitR, and because it uses SPID and doesn't touch vanilla records, it should be completely compatible with everything.
So far, I've just done the settler application, but I play to build a full replacer for True Legendary Enemies, using this approach.
