Location of Custom Ruler DNA

[Mortus_VanDerHell]

Hello at all.

I have a quick question that maybe you can help me with.

I would like to copy the look of a custom ruler from an existing game and use it as a basis for future games. Theoretically, all I would need to do is copy the DNA of the ruler from a file folder and store it in the cache for the character editor so that I can paste it in when I need to edit the appearance.

Now, however, I am lacking for this:
1. the name of the file to be copied.
2. the location where the file for the existing ruler and his DNA are stored.
3. the place where I have to paste the file in order to be able to insert it in the game.

Can anyone help me?

If you want to "mess" with DNA, try Cheat Engine.

Open a save game of said custom character with a text editor and copy the text from meta_main_portrait to last bracket of this block.
Paste it into a blank text editor file and save it for future use. To use it in the ruler designer, click on change appearance and then on paste dna. Et voilá.
