More Random Names

Description
More than doubles the random name pools for certain things in the game.
Currently includes colony names for all vanilla races as well as most sector names.


Finished:
  • Colony name pools for all vanilla races.
  • Sector names for "feature" sectors.
  • Landmark names

In progress:
  • Sector names for "fill" sectors.

Things that I probably won't finish because the resource editor makes this incredibly, unnecessarily, and infuriatingly tedious:
  • Dwelling names
  • Planet names (Empire Mode)
  • Maybe even some unit mod set names
  • Colony names for modded races (separate mod probably)

All the added names, as well as the vanilla ones for comparison, can be viewed here:

RPKs modified:
  • Title\Packs\Strategic\RMG_Sectors_Strategic.rpk (for sector names)
    (Colony names are added by creating new resource entries for each and linking them to their species definition.)

Lastly, I put up a discussion page in case anyone thinks any of the names could use some edits.

@Piglet
sorry for the very very late response—I had to look for it again myself and finally found it.
Most of the terrain-related stuff will be in Title\Packs\Strategic\RMG_Sectors_Strategic.rpk → Settings (tab) → Sector Definitions (dropdown) .

When I update this (hopefully today) I'll add a full list of the .rpks I used

Hi, I don't suppose you could tell me which file you modified to do this?

I've searched everywhere and just can't find it.

Thanks.

great mod!

Frankly I think their best is "Dangerous Sea". It's downright poetic, really -- really stirs the imagination! I mean, what could be dangerous about the open sea?
Honestly though after doing it myself it's easy to see why there's a few throw-ins, especially for the larger name pools (they did 200+ for open waters and 250+ for coastal waters). It's fun for the first half hour, but legit work after that.

Thanks a ton for the comment though, it means a lot that somebody cares.

These are all great, better than vanilla at points. Sike City 2 represent, yeaaa!!!

Alright, I pasted the xmls into google docs along with the vanilla names for comparison. I also put out an update adding a lot of sector names.

Oh yeah, about updates: I'm being stubborn about sorting each pool into alphabetical order (makes it way easier to check for duplicates), but that means that if I ever add anything to a pool, it will shift the names of anything below that in order. This means that if you load a modded saved game after updating this mod, you might have city names etc completely change.
I won't have many updates to do before I either finish or burn out, so hopefully this won't trouble anyone too much. sorryyyy

I was thinking of doing just that! I'll try to get it done soon

Could you make a google doc with all the added names? Hard to gauge the quality without unpacking the archive otherwise.
