I was just wondering if/what the reason was this was never updated to work on the latest version? It was the only mod that made them editable, and tons of people loved it so I was curious.

Backstories only update: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2873263727

Man I just want a mod with only modern backstories for a good zombie setup

Would love to see this brought to 1.3! My favorite mod for sure

We neeeeeedz this :( this was soooo goood. I'm tired of all the messed up pawns who are freakshows lol. I want to disable or get rid of all the dumb vanilla backstories but this is the only mod that does that afaik and it doesn't work :( pwz update dear mod lord.

any update for 1.3? Seems like Karma's mod got removed

Not a 100% port, but it looks like it has improved functionalities as well.

If anyone could bring this to Mile's attention, this is in definite need of resurrection.

Please update this :( , this mod borks the pawn generation causes world generation to fail !

Mod gods bless us and bring this gem to 1.2

mlie, we need you here

Question 1 Does this work with 1.2?
Question 2 I just want to add my own backstory for a custom scenario that I'd like to play with, will this allow me to do that?

Sooooooooo about the 1.2?

@Kiame Vivacity any idea what wasn't fully functional in your updated version?

Just came back to Rimworld after a long hiatus and I'm very sad to see this mod is no longer being updated. Still hoping someone will revive this mod sometime!

guessing that there's no 1.1 then there's no 1.2? damnit that sucks

By all means feel free to fork and do whatever you'd like. No worries about credits to me, the changes to get it to 'run' in 1.1 were minimal. If you'd like to fork my changes they're here: https://github.com/KiameV/rimworld-editablebackstories

IIRC rainbeau did not have this on a repo so i just pulled the code from the dll's with ilspy

@Kiame Vivacity I'd like to try my hand at a fix if you don't mind, in what way would you prefer I go about that? I was thinking I'd fork it and upload my fix if it decides to cooperate with me, crediting both you and Rainbeau Flambe as other authors.

That is, if it cooperates with me at all. :P

Wow, this is a really good name list. Is the name set feature vanilla as well, or does it require this mod to use?

I had updated this mod to 1.1 but it was not fully functional and I did not have the time to fully learn the code so i decided to take the 1.1 version down.

If anyone wants to try their hand at it i have the code on github: https://github.com/KiameV/rimworld-editablebackstories

So, oddly enough, I actually have EBN 1.1v on my computer right now, loaded and ready for use. I'm not entirely sure how, since trying to load the workshop page for the version simply gives an error, but the files and everything are here for use. And, with ShowModDesignators, I can see exactly where a certain backstory came from while using this mod.

So... what's up? Was the newest version deleted? It makes sense, I had a troll race mod that was removed and it was still on my PC until I removed it, so I guess the files are still here.

So, the v1.1 EBN mod is around somewhere, just removed. Thought others would want to know about it.

Would also appreciate to get an update to v1.1 whenever time allows please. Thank you to whoever can do this for our community.

1.1 update?

would kill a man for a 1.1 version ngl

Unfortunately, Digit4lC4m's tactic seems to still break in-progress saves, so i'm still shit outta luck. (Pawns get new, random backgrounds. They seem to be the RF backstories, but they aren't the same as they were, and this messes up a lot.)

If anyone is out there, please hear my plea!
Please, i just wanna finish this colony, and then update my mod list!
This is the last mod i have that doesn't have an update, official or otherwise!

Guys, to use the backstories from this mod, first install this one: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2024991575&searchtext=backstory

Then put the XML files provided by this one, into the "Stories Retold" Defs folder.

Would you mind if I ported the Basic and Glitterworld list into my race mod, Syntho?

I'm not currently supporting it and it was not working well so i've taken it down

is there a 1.1 version? the link below doesn't work

Thx m8, I'll make sure to give it a try on my next playthru!

Any ETA on 1.1?
I just started playing a few days ago and I'm having way too much fun... Would Luv to try this mod on my next playthru ^.^

It's unfortunate that there is no slider or toggle-able option for pawns we see over and over again. This mod is currently our only hope. Save us from the meme pawns.

I updated this for B19 and i can see what's changed since then. If it doesn't seem to be much of a lift I'll see about getting it working in 1.1.

1.1pls/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

1.1 Pls！

1.1?

1.1?

I agree with the person below me, I hope this gets updated. Sadly there is no real alternative to this mod.

I do hope this gets updated to include backstories being added in 1.1.

I'm having the same issue as Keyessance and if anyone has any pointers as to why it might be happening I would appreciate it. I feel like I've formatted everything correctly but something is still wrong.

Been dreaming of something like this for a long time now, glad to finally fine it. (While I do grasp the original intent of the vanilla backstories, the least Tynan could of done was make them all gender neutral for compatibility with prepare carefully and such, so super glad to finally find this mod! )

I have a awful lot of pawns named Riley Blue and Ana Lucia...

Could not resolve any root: R_root firstRulePack: DynamicWrapper

Been picking at this a while and I can fix it. What have I done wrong? The stats work, but the fluff text doesn't.

Hello, Ive been working on a massive by volume (personal) overhaul of the game by modding various mods (including this) to fit a more star wars like theme. i've edited every backstory to fit that but when i start a new game vanilla backstories show up along with my edited/added ones. i dont have lite mode enabled. is this just me doing something stupid or is it a known problem.

the edits are really extensive and i am modifing other mods too so it's highly possible im just doing it wrong. I have the Error logs if it would help. im trying to make sense of them myself

Would this mod allow for one to only use backgrounds chosen? I am trying to do a Medieval only game but seeing someone who is a Gamer is pretty stupid when video games haven't been invented yet.

Hi everyone, maybe im doing something wrong, ive edited and replaced the given backstories, but now the backstories have tags next to them, (RB) (Vanilla) is there any way to remove those tags? Also with Prepare Carefully when i go in to change backstories im still seeing vanilla backstories, is there any way to delete all the backstories except for my custom ones? Thanks!

I am also getting the unspecified body type error, which is unfortunate.

Getting the unspecified body type error too
This mod is bad

The "Invisible Pawns" bug is, a minor thing, but it happens quite often to me and its getting annoying. Is there going to be a fix for that?

@Auranim: The following answer is only if you've modified the mod's XML. Straight subscribing and not changing anything should work fine.

I would try Google for basic XML tutorials, but here are some general troubleshooting suggestions:
1. Be sure that any tag like this: <tagname> has a matching closing name, like this: </tagname>.
2. Be sure that every <defName></defName> you add is uniquely named/numbered. No repeats.
3. Be sure that all your values inside the quotation marks have an ending quotation mark. For example: "Your value here."
Hope this helps!
