Design Names Text File
 

I have an excellent set of Adunaic names I want to insert as a design names file. Can someone talk me through how I do this.

Also, under the TDM modpack, the Romulan design file seems to be awry. When you play them in a game, you just get their ships called "Design 48 002" or something like that

Any ideas?

Look in the Pictures/Races/Romulan folder. Along with aaaaaaaall those pictures is probably a file called "romulan.txt" or some such. Open it and see if it is a list of ship names. If so, move it into the designnames folder. The romulans will then have romulan sounding design names.

PS. What's "Adunaic" mean?

I am sure a real Tolkien fan will tell me I am wrong but Adunaic was the vernacular language of the Numenoreans.

I think it is a great sounding language and well cool for SEIVG

Dumbluck, thanks for sorting the Romulans, how do I set up a new design names text file?

Re: Design Names Text File
 

heh. I can't answer that one. I think it's just a .txt file with the list of names in it. I also think that you need that line of equal signs above and below it. But I don't know for sure. Your best bet would be to make a copy of a .txt file and replace the old names with your new names. Give the edited file an original name. I know you can pick the design name file when you create an .emp file, but I don't know how else to determine which design name file the shipset AI would use...

GrowlTigga,

It is, as Alpha pointed out, just a txt file that you create. A simple list of names placed in the correct directory (which I forget at the moment). I use a list of Italian wines, and wine growing regions for mine.

Cheers!

Trajan, you hedonistic viticulturalist you

I can just see your star armada coming toward me, cower with terror as the "Pouilly Fouse" class cruisers hove into view, cringe with fear as the majestic 'Chateauneuf du pape' class battlecruisers move toward you, tremble in fright at the awesome power of the "Pinot Grigio" class battleships and **** bricks as the mighty "Blue Nun" class dreadnoughts loom above you..

<LOL>

I don't actually use Blue Nun, opting instead for the Barolo class Dreadnoughts, the Tuscany class battleships, and the Sangiovese class light cruisers among others.

But I can think of at least a few instances when a Blue Nun class Dreadnought might strike fear into the hearts of men and alien alike. As a matter of fact, I think my 2nd grade teacher was a Blue Nun Dreadnought. At the least, it sure felt like it when she was wacking my knuckles.

CHeers!

The Romulans have been updated as have all the races for Star Trek. Just an FYI.

You can view and download them from New Age Shipyards. The link is in my signature.
