[LEGACY] Random Nickname Button

This is the vanilla version.
WOTC VERSION HERE: http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1188012104

Have you ever known a soldier's nickname was wrong, but you couldn't think of the right one? This happens to me all the time in XCOM. I really wanted a "Random Nickname" button all throughout EU/EW/LW. Now I got the chance to make one. Enjoy!

NOTE (2017.09.22) I finally have my system up and running again, and I'm getting my dev environment back up and running. I can't commit to a time table, unfortunately, but I'm gearing up to try and fix stuff. I understand a lot of mods are now forking to handle the new and old stuff...I'm going to try and not do that, but we'll see.

This mod adds five buttons to the Character Info screen (as seen in the screenshots):
* Random First Name
* Random Last Name
* Random Nickname
* Random Country
* Random Bio

The buttons call the built-in generators and thus *should* use whatever lists you have, modified or stock. (If they don't, let me know.) There's an INI that you can use to move the button panel around if you like. It's here:

...\Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\268500\630738292\Config\XComRandomFirstNickLastNameButtonMod.ini

Nicknames can only be generated if the soldier is of rank to have one (mods can get around this) and can't be generated by the game for soldiers that don't have a class, because nicknames are specific to classes by design.

First and Last Names are generated with respect to gender and country of origin, as it's the stock randomization functions the mod is using to generate them.

A newly generated name or country will be reflected in the existing bio.

* * * F.A.Q. * * *

"Why doesn't this let me generate random nicknames for the new Spark unit?"

I honestly don't know, but I have a few guesses. Once time allows I'll work toward fixing this. :)

"Help! When I click the Nickname button, it doesn't work!"

If a soldier doesn't have a class, they can't get a nickname from the built-in generator function, because the nicknames come from lists that are *for* the classes. (There is no nickname list for Rookies.) If your soldier's not yet a Squaddie, you can't random gen them a nickname even with the Full Customization Mod. If you're in the Character Pool, assign the soldier a class and it will work. :)

"Does it work for SPARK soldiers?"

I'm afraid not. It's complicated. I'm working on it.
