[Modding Questions] Specific Name List Queries

Valdore66 · 2016-05-11T11:20:17+00:00

Ok, so I'm currently having a go at creating a name list based off the Ildiran race from Kevin J Anderson's Saga of Seven Suns/Saga of Shadows series and have come across a few queries that would help to make it work. Ildiran naming convention: The Ildiran species is a genetic caste based society, each caste (kith) has a specific role to play. When it comes to naming, each kith has a different sound at the end, for instance: 'h - rulers/nobles eg. Jora'h 'nh - military leaders/generals eg. Gale'nh Now, as far as I am aware, the name is actually generic and not kith related. So my idea is to create a list of generic male and female names, and to then have these appended by the relevant kith syllable based on whether the character the name is being chosen for is a leader, governor, scientist or admiral. Unfortunately, when it comes to any sort of coding, I'm useless! I don't suppose anyone has any idea if this is possible within the name list, and how one would go about doing it? I'm hoping that at the base level of creating the name, it is as simple as giving the generic lists of names a variable and making a name of that variable with an 'nh or whatever after it. (backup plans are to utilise first and last names, though this would lead to having a space between them or just to write them out longhand) The second issue however, is likely to be the more challenging one, how to attach a name to a specific role as opposed to being picked generically. Any ideas/input from devs?

No, you cannot "build" your names from several parts. You can only add names in the different categories, like first_names_male.
