Can you Rename tourists?

[Tabris]

Can you rename tourists that are created by a contract and still complete that contract?

 

I'm going to be streaming soon and part of my channel you will be (hopefully) able to use the loyalty points to buy a "ticket" on a craft

Not without going into the persistent file and editing both the contract and the roster.

When a tourist contract is completed, that is exactly the test it does. It assumes kerbal names are unique, and it checks the name in the contract against the names of the tourists on the craft.

would it be possible to write a mod that does that if one doesn't already exist?

Just open up the persistant.sfs file in a text editor.

Use the "replace" function to replace every instance of what the name currently is to what you want it to be.

Save the file under a different name (in case you bork something) and load.

Although a "Rename any kerbal" mod would be handy.
