System names

[Timstone]

Hi all,

We all know about the DNA (http://dna.spaceempires.net/) (Design Names Anthology), but is there one huge file containing system names too? If not, how about starting one?

[Fyron]

FQM (http://fqm.spaceempires.net/) has a bunch of system names (over 40k or something). Just get Standard to save on download times. Lots of them are from a Tolkein-esque random name generator, so not everyone likes them, but they are quite alien. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif Many are real star names, or from a few sci-fi universes, so it is not all crazy stuff.

A System Names Anthology would be excellent, though it lacks the charm of the DNA acronym. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Edit: Wow, need to update the thread link on DNA page... And I might as well release a new version of it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

You can send your System Names file to this adres:
kaptein-aso [shift+2] planet [dot] nl

Fyron:
You said something about a new version of the DNA. When is the new version due?
When I finish the SNA, would you be so kind as to post it on your fabulous site?

Edit:
Sorry, Fyron, I didn't see the new post in the DNA thread.

[Fyron]

Sure, I'll host it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I'll be happy to help out. What name files are we going to start with? I've downloaded the DNA file as a beginning. Are we going to add to that?

[Timstone]

No, search for any SystemNames.txt in the Data directory. ONLY mail me any PERSONAL versions.
I'll Dl all the SystemNames.txt's from all the mods posted on SpaceEmpires.net.
You can find my e-mail adres in one of the post below, or in my personalia.

Fyron:
Thanks to host it! Greatly appreciated (I hope I said that right, please enlighten me when I did it wrong).

[Fyron]

So... what progress have you made my friend? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif
