Creaghorn 10 Posted July 30, 2009 (edited) i extended the german names file little bit because the german surnames were too repetitive. from about 140 names i added some, so there are now 1505 surnames. most of them were real ww1 pilot names. would like to post it or send it somehow to everybody who is interested. don't know how. maybe via email.

Olham 164 Posted July 30, 2009 Creaghorn, try to make them a textfile (.txt) with simplest notepad; then attach the file to your post. Now everybody should be able to download that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

77Scout 3 Posted July 31, 2009 A good bet that the OFF team will just add Creaghorn's file into the soon-to-be-released superpatch :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herr Prop-Wasche 7 Posted July 31, 2009 I already added my Germanic surname to the GermanyLastNames file! Added a few French names to the FranceLastNames file, too! Works fine! Now downloading Creaghorn's file. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TSmoke 2 Posted July 31, 2009 Kind of on the same topic but not different enough to start a new one. Question is .....Is there any way to change the text size or text style in the briefing screen. For a blind bastich like myself I have to squint, stick my nose on the monitor in order to write the names down of the pilots in the same flight for claim purposes. Yes I wear glasses and bifocals suck azz for reading on computers. Sorry if this isn't the place for it but couldn't find anything in the search. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waldemar Kurtz 1 Posted July 31, 2009 i extended the german names file little bit because the german surnames were too repetitive. from about 140 names i added some, so there are now 1505 surnames. most of them were real ww1 pilot names.would like to post it or send it somehow to everybody who is interested. don't know how. maybe via email. I did something kinda similar with RB3d-- but it didn't use all of the names-- it stopped around 2-300. but, my question then is, so long as the data is formated in the same manner you have here-- then I could presumably expand ALL of the various names of the various flying services? I've already decided I wanted to scrabble together an alternate list of American names for a Lafayette Escadrille career... cuz, I just don't feel quite right seeing all of those French names in a squadron that's supposed to have American volunteers! so if I just switch the appropriate "FrenchLastNames" and "FrenchFirstNames" out (and save the originals as back-up) the problem's solved, right?

+Paarma 0 Posted July 31, 2009 Cool. Very impressive. Thanks Creaghorn. better to back up the original first. i tried it and no problem at all. but you never know . i hope it works this way with the upload drop it into CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields/campaigns/campaigndata to download, save target as...wherever you want and then drop it into the folder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I changed the german names for croatian names and every newbie who arrives is a croatian. so will the americans in your case. you also might simply copy the existent american name file and paste it into the french one. might save you a lot of writing. in my campaign it's very interesting right now. since i reached spring of 1918 and the fokker dr1 and dvII appears, i changed the files back to the extended german names file, because i don't have croatian skins for the dr1 and dvII. in my world they have decided to abandon the german unit and so the few remaining croatian pilots are still there and within the time there are more and more germans. right now there are only 3 left.
