[NewGRF] US Census Town Names (v1.0.0)

[Bohaska]

I was looking for town names and was interested in the US... but the existing name files only had a few thousand names and I had a free day... so...

Introducing US Census Town Names, with over 14,000 town names sourced from the US Census!
Town name likelihoods are weighted by population logarithmically, so cities with higher populations have slightly higher chances of appearing.

BaNaNaS: https://bananas.openttd.org/package/newgrf/424f4801

Cleaned data comes from cityquiz.io.
NewGRF creation uses some code from Better World Cities.

On another note, I had some problems with uploading README and license to BaNaNaS, I got an error saying:

Code: Select all

README.md: Could not recognise this file; possibly the extension is wrong?

What happened there?

Very comprehensive, I look forward to trying this out!

On another note, I had some problems with uploading README and license to BaNaNaS,

"readme", "license" and "changelog" all have to be plain text in a .txt file.
If you look inside a .tar archive of a downloaded newgrf (e.g. OpenGFX+ Landscape), you can see the files.

Btw, Bananas has a dropdown menu with licenses; if you choose yours there, it will be added automatically.
