Naming Citizens

[UEGHunter631]

Seriously, I'll ask again, anyone know how you create a list for naming citizens?

I don't get it.

[Ellye]

When creating a new civilization?

Just click on "Edit Names XML", and fill in your names in place of the default ones.

You have one area for Last Names, one area for Male Names, and then one area for Female Names.

Example of a complete names.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I do that, but it keeps giving me errors.

And I keep wondering howw to make working name lists for mod factions, because for some reason its using the terran ones... I tell you if I see one more Vicky Eiggen I'm gonna go nuts.

<PreferenceWeight>1</PreferenceWeight>
</FlavorTextOption>
</FlavorTextDef>
</FlavorTextDefs>

Interestingly I get different names than Testicus Maximus which shouldn't even be possible going by that file. - The faction itself works fine though rofl

Kinda feels related. I see no reference to the names in the core faction definitions though... Its like as if the names are somehow hard coded into files we can't even open to compare. (or have a name you wouldn't look for instantly)
The problem is similar for the Portraits btw.


NVM I solved it - the solution is kinda unsettling though;
Even if it is a mod race, the file needs to be in Crusade/Factions/FlavorText
rather than the mod folder.
I tried this for the lolz - thinking - nah that can't be it - and was somehow right with it.

So, I have a silly question. What if I want to create an androgynous race? Could I in theory just delete all the names of one gender? I'm an rp player. xD I like to imagine various stories going on in my game, which is why I put so much effort into the race creator. Furthermore, I notice that it uses terran images, even though I have none of them in my citizen portrait list.

Does anyone else get duplicate citizen names?
