Are namesets good?

I don't know what do you mean by "properly named" but here are the files.

Is there some deadline? Or one can make some more files to be included?

Well, as soon as possible would be good. Certainly by a few days before the release date for OOTP would be best but I suspect we can add them to the game even after release and have them show up in the patches.

That's fine. Thanks!

Actually I'd never bothered to see how the names were setup and had assumed that each nationality had their own file. Since they're all just in one file you can just post any new sets as code, no need to include any .txt files.

I'd be great to have a better Cuban nameset for 15. Anyone have one they've been working on?

[Lukas Berger]

Would also love a better Taiwanese set as the one currently in game is pretty awful.

I've made some small edits to the Taiwanese and Korean sets to get rid of some of the obsolete spellings and just plain wrong names as well as to fix some the frequencies but more improvement is needed!

Also, don't forget last names. If any of you can improve any of those, please have a shot at it.

So here's a request:

Would anyone who's posted a name set in this thread or who has a nameset that you've worked on but haven't yet posted, and who wants to see it in the official game please upload the file to this thread as a properly named OOTP compatible nameset .txt file. rather than just posting it as code here?

If you do so I'll check it out and then send it to Markus for inclusion in the official game if it looks good.

Thanks!

The English, Scottish, Irish, and French Canadian namesets that I posted in my American-Ethnic namesets thread are appropriate for use by their respective countries (that applies only to the last names - the first names are "Americanized"). All the others are not appropriate for use outside of an American context.

Here's the English one I posted earlier.

Taiwanese or generic Chinese nameset?

Taiwanese preferably, as the CPBL will be in OOTP15.

LOL

without a doubt. Would even be listed in the changes fine print. Might even get a byline in the install log

BTW, names are not my (or OOTP) copyright, so you are free to modify namesets in this thread as long as it makes them more realistic.

Taiwanese names are bit tricky.

You noticed that too huh? I've been having loads of fun trying to translate them for the MLB roster set. Some of the names make little sense in Google translate and don't have an English translation available. I'm having to learn Chinese just to work on the Taiwanese rosters

I'd like to see Canadian names split for French and English namesets.

The problem is, Internet isn't too anxious to list popular Taiwanese names.

They already are. The problem is that the French-Canadian nameset (33) has, for some unknown reason, become an orphan file. French, rather than French-Canadian, is the nameset listed in the world_default.xml file for Canada, and French-Canadian isn't available in the in-game editor. For leagues based in North America, I recommend replacing French with French-Canadian.

Can that be edited?

Yes, it can. The problem, though, is that the French-Canadian nameset won't show up in the in-game nation editor, and you can't make any changes in the world_default.xml to an existing game. So, if you wanted to make a change to Canada's name distribution in an existing game and use the French-Canadian nameset, you'd have to edit one of the existing namesets by substituting the French-Canadian nameset for it and then make the changes in the in-game editor.
