[RF] Editable Pawn Titles [b18]

Description
THIS MOD WON'T BE UPDATED FOR B19/1.0, AS IT'S NO LONGER NEEDED. EDITING OF PAWN TITLES IS NOW POSSIBLE IN VANILLA RIMWORLD!

Have you ever wondered why the game's work tab forever shows what your colonists *used* to do, without providing you any way to update the info to display what they're *currently* doing? I mean, do you really care that Joe Plumber used to work as a janitor, if he's now serving as your colony's premiere culinary artiste?

Well, fret no more. This mod allows you to edit a colonist's title as well as his or her nickname, any time you feel like it. So if you want to give your colonists titles that reflect their actual jobs instead of their backstories, or want to assign them pseudo-military ranks in your colonial militia, or whatever, you can do so!

Simply click the "rename" button on a pawn's character screen, and instead of getting a window that allows editing only of the nickname, you'll get a window allowing editing of both the nickname and the title.

- Rainbeau Flambe (dburgdorf)

=====

Compatibility:

This mod ought to be compatible with just about anything. It's safe to add to or remove from a game in progress, though obviously, if you remove it from a game, any pawns to whom you've assigned custom titles will revert back to titles reflecting their backstories.

I'm aware of one conflict, and unfortunately, there's nothing I can do about it. There's an NSFW mod called "RimJobWorld" which completely replaces the code that creates the character display tab. The changes that "Editable Pawn Titles" makes to that code get ignored along with the core code, and as a result, the revised edit window is never referenced.

=====

Credits:

The mod utilizes Pardeike's "Harmony Patch Library." (No additional download is required, as the library is included with the mod.)

And many thanks to BrokenValkyrie, for a push in the right direction where the required transpiler syntax was concerned.

=====

License:

If you're a modpack maker and want to include "Editable Pawn Titles" in your pack, or if you're a modder and want to use it as the basis of a derivative mod, please feel free to do so. I ask only that you let me know about it.

The Ludeon forums discussion thread for my mods can be found here[ludeon.com].

If you have any (helpful) suggestions for improvement, please let me know!

My mods are free, but if you'd like to buy me a Dr Pepper[ko-fi.com], I wouldn't complain.

Whatever you do, do NOT install this mod. I added it to my modlist and it corrupted all my game files. This mod needs to be taken off the workshop IMMEDIATELY.

Well, there is still room for improvement (and resurrection) of mod: add another field to allow editing (back? front? :)) current story of a pawn reflecting his life after landing (or, in practice, player's attitude and plans to them). Currently, when you hover on Childhood or Adulthood, you get flavor text but when you hover over current title you get nothing.
There are some mod requests for tracking events, and some mods too, but they add too much content instead of this simple thing.

No, it's not possible to edit a pawn's first and last name, only his or her nickname and title. But since the nickname is what appears under the pawn on the map, and on the colonist bar, and the nickname and title are what appear on the work tab, they're really all that *need* to be editable.

Yes, it is still not possible to edit everything in a pawn name

It would be great if we could edit the full name of a pawn, not just their nickname or job title.

OK, I haven't yet looked at B19 myself, but according to a comment below, editing pawn titles is now a part of the vanilla game. So why are people asking if I'm going to update this mod, if there's no longer a need for it?

Love this mod, will you have any time to update it? Thank you!
