New design name files

Quikngruvn · #1 July 11th, 2001, 07:11 AM

Since I can't mod worth a flit and have neither the time nor the inclination to try to learn, I've put together a few design name files and posted them under Data etc. Mods. So far I've got:

--towns and counties in South Carolina,
--bands and singers from various eras, and
--maladies: things that'll hurt you, kill you, or otherwise make you get that not-so-fresh feeling.

Realize, though, that I created these files mostly off the top of my head, so there are a lot of bands and diseases I missed. (I did use an atlas for the SC names.) So, if you notice I omitted your favorite band or poison, please post your suggestions here, so that I may be fully subjected to public ridicule.

Next I'm thinking of putting together a file for toons (old school and the newest ones), and maybe even a file of SEIV message board denizens (though if anyone has a serious objection to seeing their username in a design name file, let me know).

Now, go take your Pearl Jam and shoot down that Aneurism!

I just posted a list of dinosaur names to that thread.

Does anybody happen to know which if any shipset or race uses the greek.txt file? Or is the greek.txt file available by itself somewhere for download?

Bands and singers has been updated and posted.

Also, I've posted a design name file of significant (and not-as-significant) women through history. OK, it's mostly actresses and musicians, but it actually has quite a few women you learned about in history class. (There are a few supermodels as well-- testosterone forbids me from excluding them completely.)

May have posted it before, but I'm about to post my "zealot" names file - great for those species that put the "mental" into "fundamntalist".

I've posted Ship Names: Dinosaurs v1.1. If you downloaded v1.0, the only change is correcting one typo: "Dromicelomimus" should be "Dromiceiomimus". (L->I)
