Re: Stars without names, oops
Easy. Use a large System_names file. FQM comes with a very nice file. Standard SE (and TDM) supplies only 100 names in system_names file. Obviously, you have a galaxy with more then 100 systems !

Also I have noticed there is no list of names for ship designs.
|
Is there a dsgnname folder in the FQMandTDM folder? If there is an empty one there, delete it. |

I do have a large systemnames.txt file in the
TDMandFQM data directory, copied it from the FQM deluxe folder. I also copied it into the default data directory to be sure.

I There is a dsgnname folder but it has what looks to be TDM name files in it.
I removed the directory to test the game but it didn't fix anything so I replaced it.
Any other ideas how to fix my missing names in the star systems?

Re: Stars without names, oops
Are you sure you're actually playing the game from the modded directory? Do you use the mod-launcher? If not, what does your path.txt file say?

Yes I am using the mod launcher.
It's probably something simple that I'm over looking. I've only explored a small courner of the game and most stars have names with only a few being blank, odd.
thanks for everyones suggestions, I try each one out to see if it fixes anything. But then again once a map has been generated can placing a file in the right place suddenly fix my missing star names?
thanks again, |

No it won't. The stars are given names when the galaxy is created.

Re: Stars without names, oops
You also can't change the design name file you have selected mid-game. You can change what is in the particular text file, but not the name of it.
