Bugfix: Restored Honor - Personality Fix

Description
!!!!! THIS MOD REQUIRES KENSHI VERSION 1.0.55 - AVAILABLE AS "EXPERIMENTAL" IN STEAM SETTINGS !!!
!!! CHOOSE IT THE SAME WAY YOU WOULD OPT IN TO A BETA !!!

Sorry folks, looks like recent Modkit updates broke backwards-compatibility. Mods made in the latest version of Kenshi won't work in earlier versions and throw weird mangled dependency errors. :(

=------=

How to explain this briefly....

Characters in Kenshi (yours and also NPCs) all come with a list of Personality traits they might act according to at at any given moment. This affects things like the specific dialogue they use in combat, or reacting to events, or to other characters.

In Vanilla Kenshi the "Honorable" personality type is broken.

Personalities have lists of traits they are allowed to use, and also those they aren't, and how likely. So the "Brave" personality, for example, defines "Cowardly" traits as banned., OK, great.

The Honorable type lists Honorable traits as a banned type. Ooops. This means that certain reactions, combat shouts, reactions to events, etc. will never have fired under any circumstances. Hopefully, with this fix, we will all see some new dialogue. Being Kenshi, and depending on who you rec ruited, and what other mods you use, you might see it in five minutes, or five months, or never. But I thought it was worth fixing and uploading to let folks know about it. I tried reporting it as a bug but it seems we're done getting K1 updates now, so here you go!

I'm curious as to why they never fixed it, but i guess at this point they're not really looking at K1 bugs as they work on K2. Moving to Unreal 5 must have taken a lot of the team's time.

Vera is correct - the bug is that "Honorable" personality had Honorable as "never allowed for this character" -_- WAH wah. Its game impact was probably not huge, but it would affect what lines a character might choose to use in combat, to the player, etc. and so the Honorable personality lines would've been locked out for everyone.

So I looked at the FCS, and it isn't actually that complicated. It just simply changed that "PT_HONORABLE" Tags wasn't in the "never tag" section. Basically you can use this in this current updated version of Kenshi

I'd like to know, as well.

Anyone know if this still works as of now?

since kenshi has been updated and 1.0.55 is not only "stable" but also not even the newest version of stable anymore, is this mod usable without any version changing tomfoolery?

@Aitee Bahgyoo Yes, the issue was never fixed in Vanilla Kenshi.

does this still work?

@ephemeraltoast did this require the experimental version that’s mentioned in the description?

Seems to work well. I recruited an Honorable random in a bar (identified by his opening patter about how I should beware of the crooked guards) and he says stuff in combat that I've never seen previously, like "You saved my life. I won't let you die."
