Changing AI name list

[[KAZE]A Most Unwelcome Surprise]

Previously we could edit the .txt file to set up an AI list of bot names. Patch has wiped that, anyone have any idea if the option is now gone or if has the file been relocated?

Please add this functionality back to the PC version at least. Please make it easier to add bots to a custom server besides the /bot command x amount of times to fill the custom server with bots.

The AI are personalities that are connected with a specific vehicle now. I'm pretty sure we will have to wait for a devkit update to be able to change/add names.

I figured they must have done something like this given I'd seen the exact same cars and drivers in like 3 races in a row always starting in the exact same spot in the grid, which imo makes it a tad dull compared to what we had prior to the update, it was always random which I think felt a tad more realistic Im sorry but even the best drivers in the world didn't always start on pole =P and the Names chosen are just kinda lame and random nothing quite like being in a race that includes Names Like "XXXDinguslordXXX" and "Pete". Being able to simply change the Names was a lot more fun, you could race anyone pretty much, just had to edit a .txt file.
The reason the locked car/driver thing worked so well in the Flatout games is because they were well defined characters. They had a specific look for both their cars and the character, both Picture and driver model. In Wreckfest that's never been the case, You cant even customize your driver, not that I'm knocking that mind you its perfectly fine given its not a focus of the game at all who you are doesnt matter in this game so to speak, so why lock the AI's to certain names that I'm guessing most players of the game really couldn't damn about? if its because of consoles I get it they're not as editable as PC but why turn the PC version which has had and supported the game for years into a carbon copy of the console version, They're very different things and its okay to have slight differences between the two.

Hey, thanks for this :)
Its a longwinded process (comparatively) but it works.
