Hiding alignment from the character sheet

[Legacy_Lovelamb]

               I tried to hide alignments by changing the string references in some 2da files, but it turned out wrong: the alignment stays on the character sheet, but disappears from creature properties in the toolset. I now realize that the files I changed, iprp_aligngrp.2da and iprp_alignment.2da probably refer to item properties. Where might I alter the strings that appear on the character sheet? Is it possible?

I examined a lot of the .mdl files, but couldn't find what I need. The most I was able to do was (re)move the panel that displays character name, full alignment and class. I don't want to hide all of that, and I wasn't able to remove the alignment from the list below, the one in the form of "lawful(#) good(#)". I did this in a text editor, as I don't know a fancier way.

I would like to either remove the bits from the character sheet that display full alignment (on top), alignment title, lawful(#) good(#), or to change the strings to " " and "Unknown". Then all companion NPCs would be set to True Neutral and it would say Unknown(50)  Unknown(50) . It's probably a weird question, but is any of that possible, or are these strings hardcoded (together)?

               You can remove them by editing the character sheet .gui file. Can't remember what it is off the top of my head but I can do it for you in a few hours' time if you want.

EDIT: Since this is under the scripting forum, I don't know any way to do it via scripting. I don't think you can even modify most GUI elements via scripting (except using PopUpGUIPanel).

               Well, yes, it's not scripting, exactly. I don't think I know how to modify gui files.

Small downside is that the class, race, and alignment are treated as one object. I'll see if there's any way of isolating it when I get home in a bit.

               Could you also remove alignment from the list below?

I can't figure what tells the gui to read the name, class and alignment. They can take different values, so there must be somewhere they are taken from.

               The entire GUI/GUI mdl structure is a little bit odd. In the mdl files you have two dummy nodes that indicate the start/end of text - in this case they're called CHARALIGNclass0 and CHARALIGNclass1, if I remember right. All I'm doing is resizing them so there isn't enough space between the two for text (putting them both at the same x/y/z coords).

The list will probably be contained in another file, I'll give it a shot later. I'm only editing the ingame page and not the one in character generation - that's what you were after, right? Probably no reason to edit the character gen one when people are picking the alignment anyway. '>

               Yes, the player should have an alignment of his/her choice, even if it doesn't show. I can just display it through some script. Thank you for looking into this.

               The character's race doesn't really need to show on the sheet, either, if that makes it any easier.

As a temporary solution until I figure out the rest, every client will need that...
