Female First-Names File Now Available
Here.
Credit goes to LivinLegend for creating this list; I only converted it to the current format. There are a little over a 1000 first names in this file. So we have now have female photos, xml for pbp + news, and names available. Player and team nicknames could probably also use a little tweaking, but I think this project is mostly done. A new photo for ties in the leaderboard could be done, too. To use this file, place in the OOTP 2006/data/database folder before starting up the league. This file only has names for country 0 (U.S.) - so foreign players shouldn't be allowed. If you don't mind foreign players with names like Meg, then these names can easily be replicated for the other country codes using something like Excel. Someday I'll compile a list of female first names from other countries... edit: Any modded files in use before installing the latest patch will be erased during patch installation. Always have a backup! Last edited by Porb; 07-07-2006 at 09:26 PM. |

Figued I'd put this here as well so those who know about name files can take a look as well. When I start a league using this name file, a large amount of the names are "T". That's it, just T. seems like close to half, if not more. I looked over the text file but couldn't find anything obvious.
Thanks, Tom

I just tried left-clicking this link and a new window opened, displaying the contents of the file. This can be pasted into a new txt file, but perhaps there could be formatting errors? |

I've been playing around with it. It seems that whatever i use for a first name for the GM, the first letter becomes the name for many of the players. However, if i start as Joe Nobody, then the problem goes away. Then i change Joe Nobody to me and all is well. Although I hope the problem doesn't repeat at the player draft...
Seems like a weird little bug, no idea if it's the game or the text file. Tom

There are others as well, but there is no one comprehensive list. One way to check this would be to replace all categories in the XML file with phrases starting with "XML:" That way, when you play a game, any line that does NOT begin with "XML:" is hard-coded. (Except for the fact that some XML entries span multiple lines.) |

female_names file
This thread is very old, but in case anyone is still looking for a file, this one has all the standard nations, with anywhere from 100-8000 names per nation.
There may be some repeated names within a nation, and aside from the US and US historical, all the Name Rate fields are set to 1. There are quite a few special characters in there, and I haven't tested it with OOTP, but it's here for anyone who wants to take the final steps. I couldn't get the ZIP small enough, so I took the .txt file and slapped an .xls extension on it. Just erase the .xls and you have your normal .txt file. Last edited by BMW; 09-03-2008 at 11:13 PM. |

This file is so old, I have no idea to what extent it would still work. This might have been made for OOTP8 or OOTP9 and we're on OOTP22 now.
That said, others in this subforum might know if the file would work in general. I do doubt that at any time the names needed to be in alphabetical order to work. As a programmer myself, it wouldn't make a lot of sense to expect any variable dataset to be loaded into your program and make it only work if the data was in alphabetical order. Granted you could always be adapting your old code to new code and have a few legacy behaviors - I'm just saying that it's pretty unlikely.

And if you want a nice, tidy, alphabetized names file, you can always copy and paste the data from the names file into a spreadsheet program. There, you can sort the data however you like and then C&P it back into the text file. |
