View Full Version : Design Names Anthology (Version 1.05)


Fyron
June 17th, 2003, 08:57 PM
I am trying to collect every design name file for SE4 (and SE3 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ) into one comprehensive file. I have 167 files so far:

Design Names Anthology v1.00 (http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newuploads/1055876616.zip)

If you know of others, give me links so I can add them. We could call this the Ultimate Design Name Collection or maybe something less pompous. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Here is a list.txt (http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newuploads/1055877180.txt) of the files in the zip

EDIT:
Ok, I have decided on a name: Design Names Anthology.

The catch is that I used the local Version of the name, transliterated into English, where possible. This makes for some interesting names at times...

the contents of my dsgname folder can be found here. (http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newuploads/1055930574.TXT)

247 files, many of them not featuring on your list.
I think you may find you have a lot of these hidden away in pictures/races/somewhere. I'd recommend using windows search or some better tool to get a listing of all .txt files in your pictures/races, then filtering out the AI and readme files. You'll probably find a few unexpected designnamefiles that way.

You can also find a few more on my website at http://www.sandman43.fsnet.co.uk/se4names.htm

I've kept the silly names (HMS Peter Pomegranate anyone?) and the French-spelt names that must have been prize ships.

I've got a couple for the Royal Canadian (http://www.manwithcamera.co.uk/se4/rnavy2.txt) and Australian (http://www.manwithcamera.co.uk/se4/rnavy3.txt) Navies but they're pretty short. You can combine (http://www.manwithcamera.co.uk/se4/rnavies.txt) the three files together if you want.

I believe that it's assigned by this here BB software upon upload. I had intended new_york.txt but I really don't care what the name is. However, the list contains the names of every city in New York state (as far as I can tell), so new york should probably be in the title somewhere. /threads/images/Graemlins/icon35.gif

Thanks, Fyron. Wow, 340 files full of ship design names? That's a lot, we'll never run out of names! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

If you do plan to update the DNA, how long will you be taking submissions and can you post a list of what names you currently have in the DNA for people to compare as to avoid sending you duplicate files?

Submissions are always open. Please visit the DNA web page to view the Master File List that is sitting there alongside the download file.

And here's yet another one I slapped together. This one contains the entire text of William Blake's Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience formatted as a design name file.

Each design name is a line from a poem. Because it's a collection of poems, some of the design names it yields are slightly on the long side, but nothing makes for more poetic design names than actual poems.

Who knows; you might even get some edumacation from playing SE4 this way.

Intersting idea. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Have you actually used it and verified that the repeated stanzas don't cause a problem for Se4 to parse? I've never had a design name list that had duplicated lines so I can't say whether that's a problem or not.

Urendi Maleldil
November 16th, 2005, 05:45 PM
I've used design names with duplicate entries, and SE4 just ignores the dupes. It causes no problems. I've also accidentally used a "readme" file as a design name file before. That caused no problems either, and just yielded really long design names that sometimes got cut off by some of the interface's graphical elements.
