Well... we have a file that consists of sequences of numbers, so why not letters? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.04)
 

Here's a name list.

It was late.

I was bored.

So there.

One Slightly Overworked and Extremely Silly Names List Mostly Derived from Monty Python

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.04)
 

Do you perhaps have a preference for a short name to use for the file? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.04)
 

I just posted it as a joke, but if you want to use it, I suppose it should be called "Python". Does it really have enough names to be useful?

He's my contibution. 6000 Latin Words
It's 6000 Latin words. No help given on definitions, so you are on your own there. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

For some reason I couldn't get the shrapnel mod forum to accept an upload so I posted it on PBW.

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.04)
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Lord Kodos also mentioned noticing this over in the Image Packs thread of the Aaron Hall's Dungeon Odyssey section of the Boards, after which, I checked and confirmed the problem. At least we know it isn't just two people now.

I've reported it to the customer service center.

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.04)
 

Been 11 months... any new design names files people care to submit? You can even upload them now (via the Mods/Scenarios Forum). http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.04)
 

Well I have got a "RockNRoll" text file, that has 65ish band names, that I use in KOTH games.
Probibly needs expanding for larger games.
Want?

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.04)
 

I want all. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif If you want to expand it before submitting it, that would be helpful. If you don't have the time, that is fine. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.04)
 

Sent via email to you now.

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.04)
 

Cool. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Does anyone else have any files they wish to add or update to DNA?

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.04)
 

Did you get my New York one?

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.04)
 

No I did not. Where would it be located?

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.04)
 

I thought I sent it, but I suppose I didn't. No worries.

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.04)
 

I posted a compilation of h.p.lovecraft-related names on the pbw archives. It's a compilation of names given in a Online enciclopedia. I'll post it here.

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.04)
 

For any sort of AI use, the blank lines and the section labels will result in bizarre ship names...

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.04)
 

Fyron,

I've attached it at the top of this post. Where it says "attachment". http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Hooray for the new board!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.04)
 

How is the file named Sachmo? The upload script butchers text file names... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

From now on, I am going to require that you zip up the file if you are attaching it to a forum post here... Makes my life easier. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.04)
 

Sorry about that. Right clicking on it and using Save As yields the following filename...

288478-new_york.txt

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.04)
 

Right. Is that the name you intended? What is with the numbers?

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.04)
 

I believe that it's assigned by this here BB software upon upload. I had intended new_york.txt but I really don't care what the name is. However, the list contains the names of every city in New York state (as far as I can tell), so new york should probably be in the title somewhere. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon35.gif[/img]

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.05)
 

The Design Names Anthology, a collection of ship design name files, has been updated. The update adds 26 new design name files, bringing the total to 340. DNA can be used in both SE4 and SE3.

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.05)
 

Fyron,

I might be able to add a few to the list as well...I just have to compile them...basically they are Star Fleet battles Ship name lists for most of the races...

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.05)
 

Thanks, Fyron. Wow, 340 files full of ship design names? That's a lot, we'll never run out of names! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.05)
 

Kana: Excellent!

Kamog: You had better not!

Well, it has been 2 months...

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.05)
 

If you do plan to update the DNA, how long will you be taking submissions and can you post a list of what names you currently have in the DNA for people to compare as to avoid sending you duplicate files?

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.05)
 

Submissions are always open. Please visit the DNA web page to view the Master File List that is sitting there alongside the download file.

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.05)
 

I know...sorry...been busy...I know its just a matter of copying and pasting...but...you know how it goes...

bump for sweetness!

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.05)
 

I have a design name file for you to add. It's made from WWII US Army/Navy phonetic radio codes.

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.05)
 

Cool! Anyone else have design names files to submit so we can have a beefier update?

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.05)
 

Heres another one based on former Microsoft code names.

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.05)
 

And here's another one based on international Morse Code

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.05)
 

And here's yet another one I slapped together. This one contains the entire text of William Blake's Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience formatted as a design name file.

Each design name is a line from a poem. Because it's a collection of poems, some of the design names it yields are slightly on the long side, but nothing makes for more poetic design names than actual poems.

Who knows; you might even get some edumacation from playing SE4 this way.

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.05)
 

Intersting idea. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Have you actually used it and verified that the repeated stanzas don't cause a problem for Se4 to parse? I've never had a design name list that had duplicated lines so I can't say whether that's a problem or not.

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.05)
 

I've used design names with duplicate entries, and SE4 just ignores the dupes. It causes no problems. I've also accidentally used a "readme" file as a design name file before. That caused no problems either, and just yielded really long design names that sometimes got cut off by some of the interface's graphical elements.

My brother used to name his cities in Civilization after whatever he was studying at the time. He swore by it!

All of the characters from a Song of Ice and Fire series (at least so far and according to Westeros.org)

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.05)
 

A list of monsters

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.05)
 

I guess 1.06 is going to have to come along pretty soon...

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.05)
 

So long as Sachmo keeps posting new files, it will wait. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.05)
 

I would post some files but looks like all the ones I have Fyron has already added.

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.05)
 

Bunch of weapons...

Re: Design Names Anthology (Version 1.05)
 

You could make some fun new files then.
