Very odd bug or something...

[Scipio65]

Doesn't seem to be affecting game play... and as far as I can tell it is only this one Lord that is affected.

I went out to recruit a Lord from another faction.. got him.. and this is his name:

"quick battle troops end Mirchaud"

All other lords that I have come across seem to be 'normal' (as far as I can tell)

Running the latest M & B -- Diplomacy OSP 3.3.2.  All the updates and patches etc...

Thank you

If it only affects that one lord, is quick battle troops end Michaud is the only lord in your faction?

It sounds like an issue with custom vassal titles for lords who join your faction; a commonly-used version of that uses the name of the "quick battle troops end" troop to store the title, and some people report that the change doesn't stick.  (The custom vassal title code runs whenever you change the title and whenever a lord joins your faction, so if there's a problem you can expect it to happen every time a lord accepts your offer or shows up at your court asking to join.)  I haven't heard of it only affecting some lords and not others, though.

Try deliberately changing the title of your vassals to "Lord" or something similar, and it should fix the problem until you get another lord.

Ahhh .. That sounds like what's going on.. I've changed the titles mid-way into the game.  I'll change it around again back to normal and see what happens.


Thanks!

The new lords that joined my side would all have the goofy tag as their title until I went back and changed it.. It happened again but it is easy to fix.

It also seems that the ladies that come with the new lords don't change over to the new name at all.  I have 5 lords and about 6 ladies.. when I think I should have about 10-15.

I'll keep playing around with it.

@zParsifal...my custom titles aren't sticking?

Hrm. Won't have time to look at the source for a few days yet, but so far as I tested the script before I released it, it was working even for new lords.

It sounds like some people are having issues, although in my own limited use I haven't encountered any problems with it.

its happens to me too, new lord has bug-title, in the same time old ones has good title that I already give them.

I think I found the bug...

In the set_title_according_to_faction script, there is one line that should be added.

              (eq, ":gender", 0), #male
              (troop_slot_eq, "trp_quick_battle_troops_end", 0, 1),
              (str_store_troop_name, s0, "trp_quick_battle_troops_end"),
              (str_store_troop_name_plural, s1, ":troop_no"),
              (str_store_string, s1, "str_s0_s1"),
              (assign, ":custom_name", 1),              
            (else_try),
              (eq, ":gender", 1), #ADD ME #female
              (troop_slot_eq, "trp_quick_battle_troops_end", 1, 1),
              (str_store_troop_name_plural, s0, "trp_quick_battle_troops_end"),
              (str_store_troop_name_plural, s1, ":troop_no"),
              (str_store_string, s1, "str_s0_s1"),
              (assign, ":custom_name", 1),              
            (try_end),

Thanks for all the help and information.

What should I do to try to fix it?  (And how.. or should I wait until the next update?)

To give this fix a try, backup your scripts.txt file
Then open it up in Notepad++ (or normal Notepad if you insist, but be sure Wordwrap is not active)
Then, find "troop_set_title_according_to_faction"
Replace everything on the next line, with what is below:

If it goes onto two lines (because you're using Notepad), make sure you've replaced everything between "troop_set_title_according_to_faction" and "give_center_to_lord" and that give_center_to_lord is on a new line.
