Update Rainbeau Flambes mod
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1539314168

Regarding the view from RF about the vanilla tribal names can be questioned like this (from user Ric):
"The tribal names in the base game RimWorld are from Galicians (Spanish Gaul tribes) during the Roman times. Tynan has confirmed this when he was asked about the names ... The impression that the in-game names are nonsense ... they are most certainly not."

This mod overhauls tribal pawn naming. Why? Well, the tribal names in the game have always felt a bit... "off" to me. It's probably nothing more than my own unfamiliarity with the cultures from which the names are drawn, but I always thought they seemed a bit more "Spanish" than tribal.

The changes made by the mod are as follows:

- Tribal pawn names are now Native American in style. (I drew the names from online "Native American baby names" lists, by the way, which I'm well aware mix and match names from many different nations, and also feature many inauthentic names. But while they have many flaws, they provided the sort of names I was looking for. No disrespect to actual Native Americans is intended.)

- Tribal pawn nicknames can now include various adjectives, terrain features, weapons and the like. So you might run into a tribal pawn named Vengeful Weasel, for example, or Deadly Scythe.

- Since tribal names don't follow a "personal name followed by family name" pattern, anyway, the game no longer forces tribal pawns to share last names if they're related.

- Tribal factions and settlements will now have names consistent with the style of the individual pawns' names.

- Pets in tribal factions will also now be given tribal-style names rather than colonist-style names.


- Rainbeau Flambe (dburgdorf)

I'm not misleading anybody; they're welcome to look up the details. I used "Spanish Gaul tribes" the same way a layperson would say "French Gaul tribes" when talking about different Gaulish tribes within the territory of modern France. BTW the Roman name for the territory of modern Spain was Iberia.

@ric The words and names ingame are modern galician, not the ancient celtic language that some of them evolved from, and I can tell you this because I was born there. There were no "spanish gaul tribes" and they werent called galicians nor did they call themselves that. There were many different tribes in the region and the province was called gallaecia by the romans. You are misleading people with your comment.

@The Blind One If you could leave the link to it on the Discord server it would help a lot!

I know I'm asking for a lot but any chance that you will update Rainbeau Flambes 'Editable backstories and Names' mod? Pwetty pwz? I'll buy you a cup of coffee :D

@Mlie Looks good from my end. Thanks for keeping this mod up to date.

@All Should be fixed now, the issue was connected to the fact that the quest-pawns did not have a faction. Something that this old mod just assumed since all pawns had that previously.
Thanks for the reports!

Also getting an error when the game is generating a beggar quest.

Same issue here. With both DLC and only this mod (and Harmony) loaded, I start a new colony (basic Crashlanded scenario). I trigger a new Beggars quest through the dev mode => message is broken. Same errors as @Luneth, as far as I can see: https://pastebin.com/D6V63Xw9

@ Mile I'm having the same issue as Dart, the Hospitality_Refugee quest keeps giving me ERR: [Asker_nameDef] the [lodgerAdj].
