Nickname Frequency

Modern Relic · 11-18-2007, 11:51 AM

Is there a way to adjust the frequency that player nicknames are assigned? I tend to prefer more "colorful" player names, and expanded my nicknames file quite a bit. But I am only seeing a *very* small percentage of players coming in with nicknames assigned. I don't want *everyone* to have one, but certainly a higher percentage than what I'm seeing now.

I know I can integrate nicknames into the first names file, but thought I'd check to see if there is a simple adjustment before I went that route.

Maybe if you deleted some of the pre-existing nicknames which you don't want?

There aren't any nicknames that I *don't* want. I just want more players to have them.

Stop spending time on a nickname file...start recording music

Why not just edit the player's name and change it to the nickname you want?

That way you can pick the nickname you want.

You might delete the names you use from the name database, so that they would not be repeated.

I actually prefer the randomness of letting the game assign them. I've gotten some pretty excellent results that way (in previous versions).

I guess I will just integrate my nicknames file into my first names file.
