Can we permanently change the AI company names?

[paulcobbaut]

Situation:
Play OpenTTD jgrpp 0.64.2 with several instances of AAAHogEx.
Use the sandbox cheat "Play as company" to rename each AI.
Save the game, for a long time the new company names stick.
From time to time they revert to AAAHogEx ##.

As can be seen in this image:



Question:
Is there a way to have the names stick?

Is there a way to have the names stick?

That would depend on each AI, and whether they check for the company name on launch (or load). It could probably be added by the AI developers (or yourself if you know Squirrel) to make it not do that, or to have a setting that lets you change the name to X

AAAHogEx is also on Github, so you can look at that source code too https://github.com/rei-artist/AAAHogEx

Thanks a lot for the suggestion!
But since AAAHogEx is used to decide where company names grow on the map, changing it might mess up the distribution.
