A quick mod that allows you to generate a new random planet name while in the planet editor. Installation Current version: 51853 Step 1: Download the rRandomPlanetName.zip attachment, and extract it to <PA Install directory>/PA/media/pa/ui/mods/ Step 2: If you have other mods installed, add the following two lines to the 'system_editor' section of ui_mod_list.js '../../mods/rRandomPlanetName/rRandomPlanetName.js' Otherwise, download the ui_mod_list.zip attachment and extract it to the same location as in Step 1.
How is it generated? Is there just a list of planet names and it picks one from the list? Or is there more of a prefix/affix setup (which is trickier, but I'd imagine not impossible)? (I would look through the code, been meaning to look at your Commander Health display mod, but busy implementing a few services at work at the moment. Workmate forgot to check in the code he was supposed to have done and I've spent half an hour getting the project to build)
Ahh, thanks. With that I reckon it'd be pretty easy to add ones yourself for this mod to pick up on, but for multiplay I'd imagine that'd require it hosted on the server instance? EDIT: actually if everyone had the same interface mod it wouldn't matter so much, perhaps. Depending on how the names are referenced.
So this mod does something that I intended to do and does it correctly. So if you don't have an objection, I'd like to just include it in the source and cite your mod.
@raevn, Can I use the contents of planet names.txt in a utility I'm currently writing. Also I will cite you in the source.
