Design Names Text File

dumbluck · #1 August 6th, 2002, 10:59 AM

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?

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...

Actually, you just need to make a list of names, one per line in a text file (you can use notepad for this) and save it in the "Dsgnname" folder. If you are using the TDM-ModPack mod, that folder would be located in the "TDM-ModPack" folder. There should be nothing in the text file except for the list of names.

Cheers AK - how is the job situation by the way? how many stars have you got for deep fat frying?

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..
