Talenn!!! You Da Man!

That was it. Thank you very much for the tip. I wonder if Aaron knows about that because the default races have the same problem.

Expect a TrekMod update sometime this afternoon to correct the problem.

Glad I could help. This was one that bugged me for a long time too. I finally figured it out and was so happy I could finally get the right races to use the right names so I share your joy!

Baron, how about posting them here as well. We could use them before the next patch is out, you know.

Talenn,

I thouhgt you might like to know, I contacted Aaron about this issue, and we was unaware of it. I let him know what was happening and the fix that you found.

Kudos!

Well, I keep adding to them, so I never feel that they're finished.

But, since I probably never WILL feel that they're finished I guess there's never going to be a better time to share them.

Let's see if I can successfully upload a file here...

Thank you very, very, VERY much!!!

I don't mind if anyone uses these in mods or something. It's just a list of words, after all, and it can contribute to the 'atmosphere' of the game. Especially now that we've figured out that if you put the .txt at the end of the name it works!

The Latin.txt file is great for 'regal and imperial' type races. I gave it to the Sallega since they are described as having this 'genetic' caste system with a ruling class that lives several times longer than the peons. The Fazrah and the Krill are rather nasty sorts, so I gave them the Animals.txt and Birds.txt respectively. Oh, and I gave the Jraenar 'dinosaurs.txt' but it's been expanded to many more names. Haven't restarted since making the Hacker.txt file but I gave it to the Praetorians since they have so much "cybernetic enhancement' of their bodies. It was either them or the Xiati. It'll be interesting to run into ships with names like "Geek" and "Frankenputer" and "Fnord"!

Thanks Baron, I have included them in TrekMod Version 1.01 that I just posted to the mod forum.

I used the Hacker.txt for the Bynars. I like it better than my original bynar.txt. All it had was 8 digit binary numbers, 00000001, 00000002, etc. Seemed funny at the time, but after looking at it more it was kind of boring.

should that not be 00000010 instead of 00000002?

yeah puke, I was tired when I posted that. In the bynar.txt file it's actually 0000001, 00000010, 00000011, 00000100, and so on.
