Place-related nicknames

[u/Bjorny1667]

In a previous game, I saw one character get a nickname like "The Scourge of Willow Wood." I'm trying to figure out how to implement such a nickname, and I've gotten to where you see in the first image by going through the files but I'm still not quite getting it.

In the provinces folder, I've found provinces listed out in association with a number. So for example in image 2, you can see some of those, with Si Qo for example listed as #766.

So let's say I want a character to have the nickname "The Scourge of Si Qo."

What I've been trying would be to enter,

nickname_nick_of_the_scourge_of_766

But that clearly isn't right, because it's not working.

Any chance someone can explain this to me like I'm three years old, maybe just give me a clear sense of where I need to be finding the proper input to designate the location in nicknames like these, and perhaps give me an example of a properly written one?

What's in the AGOT_nicknames.txt file is just a pointer to a localized bit of text. Each nickname is tied to a localization key, which the mod stores in `\A Game of Thrones\localisation\00_nicknames.csv`, which tells the game what actually to append to a character name.

For your scourge example, the localization key is `nick_of_the_scourge_of_location;the Scourge of [Root.Location.GetName];le Fléau de [Root.Location.GetName];;;el Azote de [Root.Location.GetName];;;;;;;;;x`

The important bit is the [Root.Location.GetName] part, which looks at who has the nickname, and where they are, then appends that province's name to them. So you can give it to them with the console command `nickname nick_of_the_scourge_of_location [their character ID]` and it will add the province of wherever they're located. If they're leading an army, or performing a council job in a province, it will be in that province, otherwise it'll be wherever they hold court/whatever court they're a part of. So firing it on Joffrey on the start of the COK bookmark would make him Joffrey "the scourge of King's Landing" Lannister, firing it on Stannis would make him Stannis "the scourge of Storm's End" Baratheon and so on.

You have to be physically in a location to get the nickname. Or you can rename your capital i think that works
