Editing ancestors
Not a problem with this mod (which I haven't started using yet). This is a weird question that I'm hoping someone (the mod creator?) can help with, which I'm asking here because this is the only mod I've ever seen that cares about the ancestor list of a creature.

Without any real software knowledge myself, I'm at least able to figure out that the creatures listed in the Show Ancestors list is something that's set when the parents breed and stays with that creature across maps and servers. Changing the parents' names after the fact doesn't change how they appear in the list. Is there some kind of mod or save editor that WOULD change the parents' (or other ancestors') names in that list? My server's instituting new naming policies, and I'd like to be able to see only current names in that list. Having to change them all by hand is fine, I just don't know how to change them (since they all live somewhere in the non-human-readable .ark savefile).
