OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - 3010 - Problem with "Re-Import Name and Ethnicity Database"

Dogzilla · 03-22-2007, 11:24 PM

When I import new names/first_names files, new players created are rife with "Joe" as first name (way more than normal) and "Nobody" as a last name.

Testing:
The names files I used were the same ones I have been using in OOTP2006 with no problem. But to make sure it wasn't my custom files, I started a new league with my custom files--and zero players out of thousands had "Nobody" as a last name. I removed my files and restored the files that came with the game, then hit the "Re-Import Name and Ethnicity Database" button. I created 1000 free agents, and 169 had the last name "Nobody".
BTW, I have not customized the game in any other way (yet!).
I can't really identify a common thread...the "Nobodys" come from different countries, non-standard characters seem to be showing up OK (á, í, -, ', etc).

I know you guys are busy, thanks for listening.
