I have an old, unreleased wanderer mod that I usually use in my game. The mod is out of date and the wanderers don’t appear in the game quite as they should. When I started my current campaign I did not realize they were all messed up until I was more than thirty hours into the game.

The wanderers were supposed to have certain names, like Somename the Mercenary, where somename was generated by the game. My old mod is somehow broken in that respect and the wanderers are all just “the Mercenary” with no given name. Worst still the game was generating duplicates of some of them with identical names. While it has no effect on gameplay, it was still driving me nuts.

Renaming a hero with code is actually rather trivial. The new name is saved by default with no new information needing to be added to the game save. All I needed to do is add the companion picker from my other mod and I was renaming my companions in no time.

This mod adds a Companion Name Registrar's Office menu item to the tavern menu of every town. Just select a companion, enter a new name and you are good to go.

Save Game Safe!
You can add and remove this mod at any time. It does not save any data to the save file. It can be added to an existing game.

Compatibility With Other Mods:
This mod does not use harmony or change any game code. It adds an extension module to the game that adds a single menu item to the town’s tavern menu. It is unlikely to conflict with other mods or future updates to the game. (Unless Taleworlds starts randomly renaming procedures again or makes other arbitrary code changes.)
