Design Names Text File

[Growltigga]

I have an excellent set of Adunaic names I want to insert as a design names file. Can someone talk me through how I do this.

Also, under the TDM modpack, the Romulan design file seems to be awry. When you play them in a game, you just get their ships called "Design 48 002" or something like that

Any ideas?

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.
