Gah - now you've got me going off to see how I can do 'TO_UPPER' so the translators only have to translate once.

I don't think the older ones have the tokentxt.2da file, if I remember correctly. That is a requirement.

Oh, that's for the UPPER_CASE pronouns. I'm not doing anything fancy like TO_UPPER strings - I suppose I could, but I almost have no hair left and quit being mean to me! LOL I guess the whip might be necessary. LOL

Oh yes you did. You gave me the idea to include the .tra files. Which gave me no small amount of hair-pulling, thank you very much. I know I don't understand the question. HE SHE, yes, needs to be translated, for example to French IL ELLE. That sort of thing. If it's in the .tra, it needs to be translated if they want it to come out in their language. I know you know this, so I know I'm not understanding the question. I'm confused. I suppose I should add that to the read-me. The tpa gets included wherever you need to use a proper or upper pronoun, the case.tra files need to be put where your other tra's are and has to be included in your array of translation files to be reloaded, and listed where you have the other tra's listed. Like: As far as including the tpa - just like any other: That's all there's to it. Oh, and to use it in a dialogue: et voila!

Thank you @Grammarsalad, @subtledoctor, @grodrigues, @Mike1072, and @jastey for the ideas and help with coding issues. I really could not have done this on my own. Big thanks to gibberlings3.net for all the help and support! This place is the best!

An update was posted to github a minute ago. Added Master/Mistress. Thanks @Grammarsalad for spotting the omission!

I've finished a little component that can be added to your mod that will allow you to use proper and upper case player1 pronouns just like normal pronouns. As of now, it's only in English, but if you can translate into other languages, feel free to add the tra files. I've never collaborated on a project in github before, but everything's there. In fact, I've barely ever used github, so if I need to add or change something, just let me know. The files can be found here.

Thank you, @grodrigues! I can't say I understand that either. LOL Some day...

Oh my goodness! Inexcusable! I'm so sorry! A big thank you to @subtledoctor for the final solution! belated...

Not saying I didn't screw something up, but I couldn't get the caret to work in any shape or form with a string built from the tra file.

I would have bet it would have too, but it didn't.

Oh my goodness! What we will do to bash Weidu over the head to let us do what we want to do! LOL

It worked! Thank you so much @Grammarsalad and @grodrigues!! I think one of the joys of doing this stuff is how good it feels to finally find the solution to a hair-pulling frustration. Thank you again!

I'll try it

Ahh, I vaguely remember SPRINTF. It's been a couple decade.... I would never have thought of that. And please, yes, share, please If you can find it. I just want to be able to share this with folks and move on to my actual mod. LOL

I think I understand. Thank you for the idea @grodrigues! I'll try it out.

This is in a .tp2 file that inserts proper and upper case player1 pronouns into tokentxt 2da file and is used to build the line that is inserted into the table, allowing for multiple languages so it can be used in dialogues like: ~my dialogue line <UPPER_LORDLADY>~

What I thought would be easy ... well, that's just never the case, is it. How would I go about concatenating a literal string with a string from a .tra file. Like: myNewString = ~I say 'tomato' but you say ~ + @900000 I tried the caret (^), but that's just for 2 literals. I tried PLUS, I tried the plus sign, I tried... I don't remember everything I tried. Help?

I also will be modifying it to make sure my first row number is higher than the last one already in the table. EDIT: Actually, I'll be modifying it to make sure my first row number is higher than the highest one already in the table. I have no idea if those lines get sorted or not, so I'm not going to take the chance that they're not.

Welcome

Sure, here you go. I'm in the process of tra-ifying it. Then I'll post it to Github so it's available to everyone.

It was the missing column that messed it up. Thank you @Grammarsalad and @Mike1072 for the clues and suggestions! It works!

I also forgot the value for the Protagonist column. Well, that was sloppy.

Ahh, ok. I'll see if I can figure out how to do that. Hmm... It'll take some digging. Thanks!

I put the token in, and used it in a dialogue, but the proper case pronoun was just skipped. Here's what my tokentxt.2da file looks like after I added the proper case prounoun (except everything lines up): My dialogue line: @2011 = ~<PROPER_HESHE> is too strong for us! Run for your lives!~ [1AMERC05] I suspect it's my dialogue line? Is there another way to say 'use something from the token table'?
